Reason for Contributing

Well. I want to contribute because I want to give something in exchange for games I've won. (pity that it ends on intentions) I bet there are alot of people here.

The voices are telling me to do so.

When I find keys or gifts for games I won't play, I say: "Hey! What not giving it away to someone who will enjoy it?".

Mostly because of the higher winning chance. But also to not feel like a insert harsh language that only takes and never gives back.

If there wasn't the contribution system, i wouldn't see myself giving away as much as i did.

When I make a giveaway Karma awards me. So it's a win-win situation.

"Give and you'll receive."
"Already own it"

Those are my reasons.

I try to keep balance in all aspects of my life.

So wins are equalized by giveaways.

See good deal while having some cash in my amazon/steam wallet.
Realize that you have not made a giveaway in a long time?
Get itchy, MUST BUY
Buy and give away.

Giving away games i wont play anyway seems the best option for me.

because i want to give back to the people :) i dont have alot of money (-5 euros on the bank) but i do what i can

I had this one game that i won in the last winter sale in my inventory. I knew i wouldn't play it so after finding this site i thought it was the best way to get rid of it :D

I create giveaways when I have extra games I get from packs or events (like the Steam Christmas event), and just occasionally on the spur of the moment when I happen to feel like it, such as in the recent rabbit holes thing here on the forums.

My current giveaway I posted cause I bought the games a while back and eventually decided that I didn't want to play them yet so I decided posting them on here for somebody to enjoy would be much better than just letting them collect dust.

Two reasons, rewarding people I like and stacking up contributor points. Later on, once I'm not a student anymore, I'll probably giveaway games here or somewhere else for sharing the joy.

Jesus Christ.

Sharing is caring.

i give away stuff i already have and my friends either also already have it or wouldn't play it. typically i get stuff i already have through bundles and packs that also have stuff i don't have but want. if i pay for a game a second (or third, fourth, etc) time, it's nice if somebody gets a chance to play it. of course some bundles / packs don't let me give away the extra copies.

I'm addicted to buying games on steam and I don't want to buy them for myself because I don't have enough time to play the games that I already do have.

Makes your wiener bigger.

I contributed the moment I won my first game. I felt that if I was going to get something, I should give something. Shame the guy never gifted it.

my evil twin said do it like mike

When I've bought games for myself, I've sometimes ended up with extra copies of games I already own in the process. Since I don't need those extras and don't personally know any friends who would want them, I figured I might as well give them away here and let someone get some use out of them. They're not doing me much good sitting in my inventory.

I contributed and TBH people should be happy that someone gift games away without them doing anything..

Sure, some people "abuse" the system and use private giveaway etc etc... but comeon... there is plenty of none contributor games to be won and nobody is asking you anything for it!!!

The reason I contributed was due to different reasons.
A. I wanted to make someone happy, a person that never played HL etc.
B. It makes sense for me to contribute when I won so much myself.. (you give and you get)

Without anyone being friendly and contributing there would be no steamgifts.
