sad isn't it? that they dont hold these kind of raffles / give aways here on the forum, instead you need twitter or FB to take part in said give away. Not to mention its only for the US crowd 'usually'
You have to understand that things like this aren't really what you see them as. You think, "oh, a sweepstakes. They really like giving us free stuff. So nice". They think, "how can we increase our twitter/facebook visibility? Let's do a sweepstakes. Costs us a couple bucks and gets thousands of retweets". And, as to why it's open to US residents only. That may be out of their control. A lot of giveaways can't be done worldwide because it runs into weird international regulations. In some cases there can be taxes, tariffs, or gambling restrictions that come into play. For example, if the sweepstakes was to include Quebec, they have to publish the advertisement in French.
Again assumption. I understand marketing and trying to get as many touches as possible. I just wondered why they don't do these type of things on here.
Not everyone on the forums uses Twitter, and vice versa. Limiting the audience to only the forums reduces the amount of awareness for the game, where as they use Twitter, or Facebook, they reach more people and get them to see the game exists and does awesome giveaways. Advertisement, basically
