It seems like a lot of people enter giveaways just so that they can win something instead of actually caring about the quality of the game. Is that true or completely wrong?

I only enter giveaways for games I am interested in and want to play.

Right now it goes like this:

  1. Enter Titan Quest giveaways until points are gone
  2. Wait for more points
  3. Repeat

I enter for what I'm interested in, which is how I feel like everyone should handle it. If you're not interested, don't enter just for a chance to win something you'll never play...

I only enter for things on my wishlist most of the time, or when I take consideration into certain games like look up on their reviews or watch gameplay videos for them. I will also enter giveaways for dlc's that I dont have for my games.

The only things I won't enter for are most indie games that were in some sort of bundle, most strategy games like victoria II, fighting games, or racing games, and a couple of rpg's here and there.

I only enter giveaways for games that I know I'll play at least a little. That being said, I still end up spending most of my points anyway cause there are a lot of giveaways for games that I want to play, haha.

I only enter giveaways for games I actually want to play. There's no point in entering everything regardless just for the sake of it, just to win something I'm not gonna play.

I've only entered 50 giveaways in 11 months.

Meh, rarely enter in any giveaways these days.

  1. Have most of what is given.
  2. Giveaways are not very awesome.
  3. Backlog is getting bigger.

If I do enter, it is for games that I do want to play.

Why win a game I wont play?

My criteria for entering a giveaway are the following:
-I don't own the game (not just "not owned on steam")
-My computer can run the game
-I could see myself playing the game

Sometimes when there is a sale of a game that I really want on a good sale (so that a lot of giveaways gets created for it), but when money is too tight for me to splurge on new games, I tend to obsessively seek out giveaways for that particular game.

If the points regenerate quickly, I might enter more giveaways, but I still only enter games I'd play. As I give a game/bundle for every game/bundle I win, I don't feel like giving a good game for recieving a bad game ;P

Thanks for reminding me to go look at the games. These days I often just go to the forums and forget that there are games to be won.

Anyway, most of the games on the list are bundle games which I either own or I'm not interested in, so I'm entering for the few games which I could have bought but didn't.

When I first registered, I basically entered giveaway of every game I could xD
Now, not so much. Set my eyes on Titan Quest & RFA DLC ... I simply can't get 'em :(

I enter giveaways for games I want to play or games that I otherwise am interested in. I also try to "go legit", if you know what I mean.
