How do you guys feel about the contributors requirements?

Or, you could just contribute a bunch, and never have to worry about it.

Im perfectly fine with it

Why not? It's their game, they can do what they like with it, they can give it to who they want.

I don't see any problems with it. The user sets the rules that he wants.

There is a limit. you can only set the contributor requirement at twice your own submission total. So if you've given away $20 of giveaways, you can only set a $40 dollar limit.

EDIT: You can go here http://www.steamgifts.com/create and see for yourself in the contributor section that it states: "Please note, the maximum amount you can enter above is twice the amount of your gifts contributed. Maximum allowed for your account, XXXX"

I agree

I think, cucumbers want to conquer the world.

Ehmmm... Big Brother is watching u!

The only thing that I dislike about them, is that there are many people cheating in order to enter.

the more of them the more people will hopefully contribute

I actually think its a good thing. It encourages the leechers and low contributors to contribute some more to potentially be on the top and actually get into a giveaway that you know that only 5 people max will enter.

I love the contributor giveaways, there's far too many people here who just enter every single giveaway they can and never contribute anything.

I believe a 1000 $ Fortix is justified.

Its ok, Its just annoying like how you mentioned to not be able to enter a game that you like because you dont have the money to do so.

Little rhyme for you
If cann`t entry, please no cry

100 bucks of contribution for a 60$ game, I think is ok.

I think it play out this way with the some contributors, some do just buy the stuff out rigth at full cost or on sale at a really good price like with Daily, Midweek, Weekend and best all time is Holiday Sale and then they Gift it away on rainy day or they Won a Gifts or they received a Gifts or it was Tradable or by some other means so it end up re-gifting here becuase they all ready have it or end up with multi extra copys.
I think this is totally reasonable to point, but it there game to give away any way they want so they can do what they want even if it is totally unreasonable contributors value so you just can't enter it that all, No big deal after all there are 100's of other gift game's here you can enter that are a ture gift without the expectation of contributors value.
I think it should be base on Ture valve to no more the 2x Contribution valve for a game let say it $60 to more then $120 not more that.
Sale game should base on there sale valve not there retail value.
All Re-gifting, Trade and so on should a 10% of retail value.

There ar a ton of other non-contributor give aways so why not?

People who spent more than 100$ orso, deserve better games right?

I don't mind them at all, I just don't want to see all those giveaways I can't enter.

Seems to me like SOMEONE has some serious entitlement issues. You don't have to enter EVERY damn giveaway.

I really don't care. I may miss out on a few giveaways, but if we want to keep seeing giveaways, we should reward the people that contribute. I am only worried that there will be a flood of fake giveaways...

Why does it affect you? If someone wants to make a giveaway with a $2500 limit for the lulz, that's up to them, and I think the fact that they've given at least $1250 in game value back to the community places them beyond criticism for something that small. Most contributor giveaways are reasonable. If anything, it's too easy to pad the value of the gifts you've given.

Honestly I think it's fine how it is, there really aren't many that want you to have contributed more than $100 and even if there were I'd be fine with that.

I do not see any problem

Big limits are stupid. If someone can offer 1000$ of games, he has enough money to buy his own games alone without winning them.
