Alrighty, so instead of creating a blacklist (I hate blacklists, because there are a lot of people who misuse them imho) for members I personally for whatever reason I disagree with, I've decided to see if maybe I can put up a nice whitelist for people I feel I can agree with.

So, here we go with the requirements:

  • Less than 500 games on steam
  • Less than 100 games won on SG
  • More games given than won
  • No unsent gifts
  • No VAC ban (<- screw this, I could look past that if it should be the case)
  • 20% or more games played with achievements are perfect (100%) (And by that I don't mean total games, just games you have unlocked achievements in, to keep it fair)
  • 50% or more average completion rate

Now, the achievement requirements may seem arbitary to some, but this is for two reasons: I don't like people "collecting" and hogging games on Steam. That's why the less than 500 games requirement is there (and I think, that's quite high - might be elevated in the future)
In correlation to that, a lot of the games remain unplayed. I like achievements, because doing / achieving them is (often, now always) a nice way to track if somebody plays the games he/she owns to the fullest possible extent. Also a nice way for me to maybe find people who want to do some achievements with me in the future (currently looking for a coop-partner in Gat out of Hell, for instance, who I can do some with)

If there's not enough people out there who are interested or apply, I will lower the requirements, if I feel I can look past something, I'll do that, too.

Edit: Of course I know that some of you might in return disagree with me, but that's just how it is. I don't intend to be rude to anyone.
Whitelist GAs will be either "high-tier" bundled or non-bundled, whenever I feel like creating some

20% or more games played with achievements are perfect (100%)

Bro, I don't think it's even possible (well maybe if you have 5 games and one of them is "To the moon"
Games like payday is almost impossible to finish it all

Hm it is possible indeed - looking at my new whitelist that is. But I'll just take myself as an example, since it's the simplest and I'm not sure if talking about somebody in a positive way will ban me for "calling out" lol
I have played 143 games with unlocked achievements (when hovering above the total number of achievements a player has, that stat shows) and 72 of them are perfect - making my 100% ratio of played games a little above 50% for the time being.

I don't fully meet your requirements, but shooting for it anyway :)

22% average completion over 480 games I think is still quite high!
Level 30
40 badges
So far - 5 won, 5 sent (2 of those won were massive giveaways, 500 copies and 100,000 copies)

Over 74 games actually - the avg only tracks games that achievements were unlocked in (hover above the "total achievements" count in the achievement showcase to show :)

I have the same with 68 less games than you, it's not high at all (for me at least) because we tend to have the most easy achievs that we get when first picking up a game. "Finished the tutorial" "Did your first upgrade", that kind of stuff.

"20% or more games played with achievements are perfect (100%)"

What about games without achievements? Do they count as "maxed" (100%), or don't count at all?

Comment has been collapsed.

They don't count, it's just about having 100%-ed the games you've already unlocked achievements in (in your case that's 66 - with 5 perf. games that's about 9%)

Ehh, last two are not going to happen unless I stop buying bundles. And that is not going to happen - bundles allow me to try genres I don't usually play or try something new. And then there are games like Civ5 (1000h+, about half achievements unlocked) or Space Hulk (missing achievement requires couple 100h of grinding). Imo getting 100% too often means a lot of patience for grinding and not playing to the fullest - ie amass XXX gold, find all YYY (that exist only for that achievement) and so on

I know, I know. I don't see the point in those achievements, but generally (was talked about on page 1 in the comments) achievements can (just, can, not do) bring a player to enjoy a game to the fullest extent in some instances.

Well, yes. Some games have achievement that are fun or (healthy)challenge to get. Like killing deathclaws with weakest weapons in Fallout:NV, or making stealth+pacifist+save the pilot playthrough :)

Glad you liked it, but credit goes to some anonymous internet dweller. (there is also not so nice version in base16)

Generally speaking, I like achievements. Yes, I know its just a simple manipulation, but its an effective one. And it often times gets me to do or play in a way I might not have otherwise done. I'm not going to go to great lengths to get an achievement (i.e. most multiplayer achievements, beat a game several times, max difficulty, etc.) but it will usually get me to finish doing something I've nearly done anyways (collections, demolitions, kill x y-times).

Yay, endlich zahlt es sich aus, dass ich nur die Spiele meiner Bibliothek hinzufüge, die mich auch wirklich interessieren. Und das ich sinnlos Errungenschaften sammle .... Könnte etwas knapp werden, aber ich denke ich erfülle die Anforderungen, wobei ich die meisten Giveaways wohl nicht mitmachen werde, weil ich es entweder verpenne und mich das entsprechende Spiel nicht interessiert. Aber einmal auf einer Whitelist zu landen, kann nicht schaden ^^

Sorry for the second posting. Auf jeden Fall vielen Dank für die Berücksichtigung der Erfolge Deutsch isn't my native language, hope I didn't forget it completely ^_^

✔ 27 games won on SG
✘ 27 won / 4 given

I am a full time employee and student attending college. I collect steam games so that in the future (or when i have an ounce of free time) i can play them. I just don't have time right now.

IMO, i think the term "hogging" is improperly used because digital copies are unlimited, therefore, there are plenty of games to go around.

but anyway, i agree with basically everything else. Good luck with your whitelist!

Same here ;)
I'm mostly talking about accounts with an astronomical amount of games in the account (I mean, there's a whole bunch of people with more than 2000 games) and a lot of the stuff, a whole lot, goes unplayed. I don't mean to offend anyone and some of those accounts give away a lot on SG, so they contribute back. In return though, I personally don't like the thought of having so many games and still entering giveaways, because, certainly, some wins are going to be left unplayed. Yes, sometimes they plan on playing it but don't, heck, I didn't play all the wins I've won, but going straight for every game? That's disagreeable in my opinion, at leastin regard of public giveaways and my whitelist. Looking at your profile, we both have a similar amount of games. I've got about 60 games I'm still planing on playing, but I know for sure, that some of them won't be played, at least, not in this lifetime lol. And then there's a huge pile of shame of around 200 games in my account, coming from either bundles or just bad games I've bought - man I wish I could sell those again, even if it's just for a few cents of steam credit - or give them away, instead of having them rotting in my library =(

I meet all the requirements except the first one. :( A lot of people who buy bundles will have a lot of games so it's very easy to get 500+ games pretty cheap.

I like the idea, although it will be hard to see 20% perfects :D
Personally I didn't care about achievements before, but as I started doing them (half year ago), it's additional goal in games so ==> more fun :)

Games with achievements I'm doing now:

  • Gems of War --> requires a loooooot of time, but the game is fun, so who cares :)
  • Hoard --> shieet, I will probably pass :( MP is dead and achievements are boring & taking too long (especially with dead MP, but I'm helping some guys who wants to finish them).

Hmm, since you've said it'll be hard - look at yourself: 28 games with achievements played, 7 of them perfect - makes 25% ;)
