    I just wait for steam sales and pick up games for super cheap tbh. Well that and GoG/Humble Bundle sales as well I guess.

    Humble Bundle was probably the worst thing for me to discover. So many games in my Steam library and I haven't touched half of them yet. :emoji_joy:

    Yeah... I don't do steam. I don't typically play games on PC and PS Store doesn't always have all the games, more or less at a sale and Nintendo doesn't believe in lowering MSRPs I think

    I run a suicide prevention group & I'm considering paying a substantial amount to collect stories & do some other little SEO stuff.

    Do you use the same account & will it eff up anything for my money making side? This is how I fund my bills & my non-profit so I'll just go to craigslist ETC if so.

    TIA guys.

    I don't use the same account, you don't have to deal with all of the verification crap on the requester side.

    Big difference between how games look vs how they play. Plenty of games LOOK awesome but to me play like shit (Horizon Zero Dawn I am looking at you)

    I use a different account for TH because I don't want my worker ID publicized. Wasn't (and isn't) a big deal AFAIK since requesters tend to bounce between accounts at will. It is technically against the participation agreement, however, so YMMV.

    A lot of "SEO" stuff is against the TOS and reports do lead to account closures for requesters (no matter how many workers swear reqs can scam freely blah blah blah) - so make sure you're posting HITs w/in the guidelines.

    Aaand of course use the appropriate quals to make sure you get good work done. mTurk fees are incredibly high, so you may be better off just recruiting fellow workers off the forum directly if you can do a PayPal type deal. Just depends on your needs/etc.

    That's true. Personally, I rely on a mix of reviews and checking out the gameplay somewhere.
    The reviews on Horizon Zero Dawn are why I passed on it. Didn't need to play it.

    As a handheld/console gamer I have a backlog that includes things as far back as NES/Famicom...
