"The stumbling block is that the controller works exclusively in the Big Picture mode" - this is a lie. The author does not seem to know the product first hand and just used info he found online, because this was a REALLY OLD misconception about Steam Controllers.

compared to mmorgs, those games lack female characters to play as
article seems fine.

annaz, the rune thing is ridiculous. they are basically pointless with the way things get approved, unless you snatch a rune for a month of magical effect or something.

2 of my articles were hanging for a month and today one got rejected, one approved - both by moderators, even though rejected one had good replies from readers.
my first articles before got a bit faster response, maybe 1-2 weeks.

inferno_never_dies, my, thank you, but I am a full blown adult with a job already. You do not get things someday, if you just keep dreaming it will happen. You need to actually do something.

Also, work smart, not hard. Have you seen a rich donkey? (two quotes in one, not my words lol)

annaz, I see that prices on game tasks get lower over time. But the promise of articles getting 1000 SG, was it ever true? Did they forget to change it or something

mb.rider, thanks. I have some experience with web development, so I actually understand how the site works behind the curtains.
I also did my fair share of "get rich by doing nothing" on beer money sites back in a day. They all have the same system: you waste your time on cents per hours. Over time it gets addicting, like some sort of casino. Do not fall into the trap, there is no free and easy income on the internet for a job literally ANYONE can do. Learn a profitable skill and become a specialist, if you want to have enough money to spend on your hobbies.

yes. what time do you mean, specifically? how long it takes to get accepted or how long it takes to write an article?

Users should also remember, that gamehag pays you with THEIR OWN MONEY. They first need to pay themselves to justify working on this site at all, then pay for server to hold this site with a ton of users. So, yeah, they may be greedy with gems, but they also may be unable to give better rewards, considering all the factors.

also, can someone tell me, did any of articles get paid 1000 gems, ever?

Inferno_never_dies, yeah, I learned that myself by accident

It is sad to get turned down for an article, but it's worse, when you actually worked on the article for hours (my articles were ok, imo, but I concentrated on one game and tried to make series, people did not like it). Personally, if you cannot make a proper article, choose playing games for rewards instead for now. AND review articles to eventually figure out, why your articles are not good enough and you will see that having a high standard is a good thing, not just on the site, but in life in general.

If you really want games, try to trade keys on barter.vg and buy keys on sales. Do you feel good after begging for anything in life? I personally feel pathetic. And begging for gems that do not even translate to 1 dollar... Sorry, but I have no sympathy for that.

Learn what is a minimum wage per hour in your country and translate it into how long does it take you to write an article. Unless you enjoy writing articles and want some experience with it and checking out games, do not invest strongly in it and do not expect much from it.

And last, if you do not want to buy games with money, do you even need them? You either pay with your time or your money. Time on gamehag does not translate equally to money, so it is easier to buy with money, even if you are poor. Your time is invaluable, but try to rate it on your minimum wage hourly basis. This helps to get into a right mindset of "what the heck is wrong with me to waste time this way" or "It's fine, I can spend some time on that".


I wish there were more steps, like a way to edit article, not just reupload. To keep the communication going with people, who said no, to get better review and advice.

But gamehag is still in the development process, I think.

I hope it will get better, since they do fix the stuff that does not work on the site, but so far you just stumble upon things, rather than learn about it in a manual.

thanks guys, I finally got fed up with all the pleading articles that day

I agree this site has almost no proper instructions, only basic noob tutorial. That's why when you do not know something, contact through the "contact us" button down the page. They always answer or reply something like "we will give you an answer, when we figure it out".

Easy google search by a quote from a text like this:
"quote"
can right away show you the copy pasted article. But better to pick a quote from the middle. I personally made a mistake and had 2 articles with same exact intro "series of tuts for noobs on this game" smth like that, so people did not read poast that and flagged as copy. But it was all written by me.

Compared to other comments on lazy articles, I got discouraged, because human factor does not provide equally fair system for ratings.
Two of my articles have no status whatsoever for more than a month. I've spent at least an hour writing and organizing each article, aside from time looknig for proper pictures.

So, in all that light spam articles and begging for gems articles make me seriously pissed off. People can't even spellcheck?? There are ton of free tools to do that.

by the way, I've seen your articles, you did not follow the basic instructions.

"BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS" God, never in my life this quote was so relevant.

"you need to lower your expectation" - you also need to lower your expectation on earning from a site, when you clearly defend a point of view "i spent 1 minute writing a ton of stuff, becase I am a noob, pay me"

you literally cannot write a word "writer" correctly or even check your article for basic typos. why on earth you think the system is unfair to you, if you are plain lazy?

"The real-life article writing is based on words per dollar" - well, get a job, stop wasting time on gamehag. It is not that hard to make a proper article nowadays.

yes, I have my fair share of things I hate in the system, like turning down "boring" articles. some of my articles were turned down for wrong reasons (like considered copies by lazy readers, who were just skimming for gems. not reading), but I raised these questions to support and they told me they are working around the issues with the voting system.

I get your overall idea, but you also need to understand you are COMPLAINING that the users, who READ the articles, which means YOUR READERS, do not think you are presenting an article WORTH THEIR TIME.

"you can't really see the comments on a rejected article so they can't see the proper reason why their article is considered bad or rejected." - wrong, it is visible on mobile app of the Gamehag.

" if write article here for SG remember we can write it in our resume that has written that many articles for this site so please consider it as experience lol." - I highly doubt it is relevant to an actual resume, especially if you demand to tone down the requirements for noobs to get published.

" poor gamers trying to get by " why people complain they are poor and do not try to spend time more efficently by, gasp, getting a job? if you have a PC to play games on, you have better ways to earn money for your games.
if you are poor, you SHOULD SPEND YOUR TIME FIXINING THAT, not gaming and complaining.
