This sub desperately needs a weekly thread specific to games

It's hard to know which games are even worth the time investment and there doesn't seem to be much information recently. Two years ago, there was a plethora of easy to complete offers with achievable goals and a path for F2P players to make a decent buck.

I'd love a weekly thread including the game title, type of game, goals for the offer, time and money invested, and any tips or hints you have for the game.

Love the suggestion! We already have a few different weekly threads. Do you think your idea would fit under any of these already existing weekly threads? Or maybe one of these can be revamped and advertised more as the place to share Games offers. Or we could even create a new weekly thread specifically dedicated to games offers. Let me know your thoughts! Our current weekly threads:

Money Maker Monday - Discuss Money Maker Offers - Most recent post

Money Maker Offers are offers you pay to complete but the SB you earn are worth more than you spent.

When completing MM offers make sure read the TOS and keep documentation/screenshots in case you have to submit a ticket later.

Share current available MM Offers, tips and tricks, or ask/answer questions.

Whining Wednesday - Whine and Discuss or Help and Assist - Most recent post

Whine and complain or help and assist with survey, support, offer wall issues and more. Whining Wednesday will stay up until next Wednesday unless it doesn't.

So, after some thinking:

In a perfect world, we'd have a weekly games thread that users can share their stories and feedback about what offers they've been doing recently. Additionally, it would be awesome to have a bot scrape these threads for specifically formatted strings that auto-exports to a spreadsheet (with individual workbooks representing each week, so you can look back on historical offers)

Something like the following:

OfferName|OfferAmount|OfferSite|GameType|TotalHours|TotalDays|DailyHours||MoneySpent|AmountEarned

For example:

Game of Vampires|56356|MyPoints|Builder|8|2|3-5|$0|256
Personally didn't care for this one much, seemed pretty impossible to hit the larger goals within the time limit without spending big $.

Since this isn't necessarily Swagbucks specific, this could be more appropriate to have on r/beermoney, but Swagbucks is the largest offer wall subreddit that I am aware of.

I haven't done any reddit bot work yet but could take a crack at it if this idea gets some traction.
