The strangest thing happened today. Here's the story.

Being a huge football fan, I really wanted to play FIFA 17. I couldn't afford to buy it directly so for the past couple of weeks, I was browsing through trade deals, trying to find a person to perhaps trade a steam game or CS GO keys. (I figured that after selling some of my cards and CS:GO stuff, I can get about $65 steam wallet funds) I spoke to about 6 traders and I was even planning to buy some CSGO keys so I can trade them next week.

Then I got a friend request from a random person today. He told me that one of the traders I spoke to, is his friend and he told the guy about our chat. Then he asked me if I really wanted to play FIFA. After a brief chat, BAM! He gave me a fuckin' copy of the game for FREE! I activated it on origin and right now It's downloading. He just said "Have a nice day and Enjoy" and left the chat.

I'm still so surprised I can't believe it happened. Is this world still full of amazing people or what?
For all the beautiful people out there, Thank you for making someone happy!

OMG! Was that complete SG's very own Lord Profitz perhaps? He apparently won FIFA 17 on HRK and he was willing to part with it for a SG un-ban. XD
Anyways, enjoy your new game! :3

Very similar of how I got ABC Murders recently. It is something that is difficult to get used to, and sometimes to even react to. But it is a nice feeling for sure. ^__^

I had a very similar experience once! I just posted on a forum "I really wish I had Crusader Kings 2" or something, and someone just told me they had a free copy lying around if I wanted it(the game was 40$ at the time). It's currently my most played steam game. This Random Internet Person just provided me with 231 hours of fun (and counting). Sometimes I really just love the human race :)

Edit: Oh and another time! Someone on here just randomly picked me from the repliers to their thread, and made a GA just for me of one of my whishlisted games! I haven't played that one as much because it's coop and I'm still waiting for my friend to have their laptop fixed so we can play it together, but I'm really excited for it and that person is just awesome as well :D

I wish I could say that line once in a while. Because I usually say the opposite.

Oh, I do that often enough too. It's kind of a love-hate relationship.

I had exactly the same experience this week! Still can't believe it and it really made my day/week. I got a game I really wanted from a total stranger. OK this was not a 60 dollar game but that does not matter, this guy bought an extra copy just for me. Amazing I did not know what to say, had a very nice and friendly chat with him, downloaded and played the game immediately and it turned out to be a great game too.

Kept me smiling for days.

I think this will only happen once in a lifetime so enjoy your new game!
There are still some amazing, friendly people out there.

I remember having an awful day and I came home to a gift randomly. It was my #1 wishlisted game at the time and I literally whispered "oh my god" and furiously typed away at my computer because I knew I couldn't thank them enough :3

I hope I can do that to someone one day ^^ Enjoy your game though <3

I've done that kind of thing before. I wish I could do it more. It's hard to find the scenario when you know they really want the game, are at least somewhat deserving, and aren't just kissing your @ss to get what they want. Nice to hear your story.

Agreed. I've done it on a number of occasions, much of the time when I have a decent chat with someone I'm trading bundle games with and they seem really bent on trading for one game I have. In many cases, it's worth it to me just to get it to someone who's going to spend some serious time just enjoying the game, even if I could trade for some other game that's likely going to sit in my library with 0.2 hours of playtime into it.

This is part of the reason I'm trying to be choosy with what I'm entering for on steamgifts, too many keys sitting in the backlog and not enough playtime for the games I have, but if someone really wants it and (the important bit) doesn't feel like they "deserve it" or expects someone to trade it for far less than it's worth (or similar), I'd rather get it to them and be pleased that they'll enjoy it for a number of hours instead of trying to see what I can milk them for when it's pretty much all the same to me.

Congratulations!

I'm disappointed that the football is La Liga KickyFlop, not No Fun League.

Same thing happened to me a week ago! I was contemplating doing a trade with the HB monthly games for an adventure game I was interested in and asked for some opinions on the forum and a kind soul added me and gave me the key! He then proceeded to give me other games from my wishlist! There sure are some nice people out there :-)
