Suggestion: Multiple entries per giveaway?

*0

There's an 100% chance that someone win. So, I see no problem with the current system.

Are you kidding me? 1/100 odds are good odds.

People with more money don't get to have better schooling if they are idiots, healthcare and better security won't help against crazed gunman.

I hear you as well.
I'm just looking at the whole concept of SG in a different light. I'm looking at it as knowing to manage your points to maximize your chances (i understand this may, in many ways, go against what Steam Gifts stood for.

But what I also understand is that as long as we stay on the site long enough, everyone has the same amount of points, there is no way you can earn more or earn less. and with this same amount of points, we decide what we really want rather than just throwing points into everything. not sure if i'm making sense. it's not really capitalism where people get money at different rates. everyone gets the same here in SG, with this system, it just makes one give more thought about spending their points.

A post demonizing capitalism never ends well and I feel stupid for reading each of them.

Xeno, you have made a BIG logical mistake in your post.
"People with more points have a higher chance of winning."

• On SteamGifts points are given automatically to all users and for free. In fact, we all have the same amount of points to distribute.
• In real life, money is never given for free.

Both situations are not comparable.

Unlike in the case of money, we all have an equal chance of gaining points. We're all on a similar footing.
There is nothing that will grant me any more or less points then you get.

The only difference is how we choose to spend those points, whether it be all in one giveaway or spread across multiple giveaways.

That said, I'm not especially in favour of this proposal but I don't see how it's unfair to anyone.

ah that sounds like a fine refinement to the idea :D

yeap, thats wise

was hoping there will be such a function after missing on some games i really want! :(
Bastion :(

Agreed.

hmm on a sidenote, somehow i feel that the spammer problem might be fixed if we only give everyone points upon the completion of a successful giveaway (the winner gets his game) so yes while we can have 1000 fake giveaways, if they don't complete, no points are accredited

I'd like to enter more than 1 time, especially for those private giveaways :v

No, it wouldn't. The odds of someone winning are 1:1. YOUR odds of winning may vary.

By such standards newcomers are already at a similar disadvantage by not having enough points to immediately enter 50pt giveaways and not being able to enter as many giveaways as established members.
If you wanted perfect equality, then infinite points for everyone at all times would seem to be the only way to truly offer that.
And that's not really a viable option for obvious reasons.
