And all of the above is not a valid answer (though it would probably be accurate). I want to know your main motive.

Actually this thread was just an excuse to post a giveaway for this bundle game:Berp.

Yeah, I messed up the poll for the last discussion so I made it again

Do you give them away to...

I don't.

I don't have any other uses for them. I usually buy bundles for 2-3 games, I giveaway the rest. Bundle games aren't even worth to sell or trade.

Just to get rid of them. If I don't really want it may as well give it to someone who might enjoy playing it.

Mostly just to get rid of games I don't want. I won't buy a bundle if there isn't at least one game I want in it, but I often have leftovers that aren't really worth trading and I'd like someone to at least activate them.

I'm surprised "Because I'll never activate those games myself" isn't an option o.o

You could trade in that case.

I can not be bothered to trade. Waste of time for me. Especially since bundle games is what most traders already have ^^

"Because Russia has made all games in existence bundle games" isn't on the list! D:

Actually my main reason is.. "I don't like the idea of them going to waste."

I often find enough games in bundles to make them worth buying, but have no reason to hang on to the ones I know I won't. Sometimes I give them to specific friends that I know will enjoy them, sometimes I look to see if anyone wants to trade for them, and other times I give them away. I often check for trades before giving them away because I know I can give away most of the games I have left over, while only a few are being sought out in trades. Ultimately, though, I like giving things to people. =)

Some bundled games are actually really good.

Basically already answered by many. I don't see a reason why someone else shouldn't enjoy a game I don't want or already have a copy of. Also not really that wealthy so give what I can when I can. If I could give 100 copies of Skyrim I would, but mostly have to settle for my leftover Humble Bundle stuff and steam sales.

My answer isn't there.

I try not to fill my Steam Client with games I have no interest in EVER playing. As such when I pick up a bundle, I take the games I want, and offer up the ones I don't (or already have). Someone always wants them so why not.

Not only that, I have very little disposable income, generally none, so I also try to win bundled games when I can't afford them. I've been trying since the bundles came out to get Tomb Raider II/III and Temple of Osiris, and currently also trying to grab Shiplord and Mars:War Logs. This is in addition to the AAA titles I'm interested in, and other games from my wishlist.

I don't regret putting up bundled titles, or trying to win them. There's gonna be at least one other person like me where every $ spent needs to mean something, and that even when titles/bundles are cheap they still can't afford them. So to them I offer the chance (and to anyone else). The (minimal) CV bonus is an added bonus that will one day make me compete with fewer and fewer people for the same titles.. hopefully. But really in the end, I'm not gonna use the games, someone else might as well enjoy them.

Well, I buy a lot of bundles, so I have two options:
1) Let a ton of keys to rot, or run out of patience and ruin my mood by trading;
2) Give them away to people who may enjoy them one way or another, sometimes whilst enjoying myself too in the process (I'm running some GAs with Rorschach inkblots attached and some of the answers are downright hilarious, for instance).
So yeah, I think the answer is pretty obvious.

there are people like me that appreciate and play bundle games. It isn't rare that games in my wishlist get bundled. Or there is one game that looks interesting but it doesnt justify the purchase of the bundle.. I giveaway my spare keys , maybe someone would play it, instead of taking dust in my messy keys doc. Im very very grateful to those that giveaway their spares

I don't give bundle games away on SteamGifts, that's not to say all the games I giveaway haven't been bundled, just, if I'm giving them away I got them through a store or something similar (I do make some exceptions, I've given away a game from a Humble Monthly as well as some games from GMG packs which could be construed as bundles for sure).

I do give them away though, just outside of gifting sites in general. When I first started using the site giving away bundle games was against the rules and well... old habits die hard

How is the factor of having extras from almost every bundle having repeats not an option?

Another option that isn't there - I live in a country where Steam region-locks everything.
Bundles are typically my source for region-free games.

I have several reasons. Sometimes there are games I already own or I don't want and sometimess I think they are great and want to support the devs (like Killer bundles from BundleStars). Good bundle = multiple copies, bad bundle = no buy. The same applies for non bundled giveaways :)

Because I'm sick of bloody trading. Bundles have flooded trading with far too many surplus game codes. I have over 2,000 bundle left overs and most them just sit there rotting.

Screw that.

Er...... I mean, option 4, "To receive a warm feeling of generosity in your stomach". Yeah, that's it.
