Passion or Logic?

I go to my entered page and leave some GAs with long runtime, so I'll have points right now, and I'll just reenter those later

I rarely have this issue, but I only enter for games that I really want and I already have a sizeable library.

Odds over want nearly every time, unless it’s some big unbundled game.

Sort of a combination of the two, I just enter the ones closest to the end, and if my points are really running low, I'll exit some that have a lot of entries and use the points on GAs for the same game, but with fewer entries. Also, I try to put my points in long GAs as a reserve when I have a lot of points that I have nothing to do with, so that when many GAs of the same games come, I have more points for the games I actually want to play, and I try to only enter games that I want to play.

Always passion. But also, I never run out of points because I only enter private/group giveaways for games I really REALLY want to play.

I combine passion with logic. I used to enter the GAs regardless of whether I liked the game or not. Now I only enter those I really want to win and only if I have a big chance of winning.

Unless there's ones that I just absolutely want (been trying for Borderlands 3 for like 4 months), mostly I just click "Browse: All" which will cause it to sort by when it's about to expire and I'll just go through them in order. If I know there's more than I can afford, I'll pick and choose the ones I want the most. I have about a million games I haven't finished playing, so if I don't win today, it's not a huge deal to try again tomorrow.

Regardless of whether I have points or not, I don't care in the slightest what my chances of winning are. All I know is that if I don't enter the giveaway, my chances are exactly 0%. Entering improves the chance.

I don't care about odds much any more. I find it better to concentrate on the spacetime coordinate where the wave function breaks down in your favor.

Both.

Passion most of the time, but I rarely run out of points so there's that

Both, but this situation happens maybe twice in a year for me.

Hmmm...
When I don't have time to play, I try to be patient and aware of the happiness of others.
Doing so increases the odds of winning for other users in the community.

If I don't have time to play, but there is a game I want, I will force myself to make time to play that game when I win, right?

Some people say that they should just apply to all the games, win them all, and try to play the games when they have time.

However, if they buy a book and build a library in their house to read it later, or if they are satisfied with having won a prize, tragedy can occur when they are unable to play the games.

And when people run out of time to play, they have the money to buy the games themselves.

Since I am not a human being, it is doubtful that I have time to play and money to buy games on my own. This is because I was involved in a car accident caused by a bad human being. I have no choice.

I generally don't run out of 400p in such circumstances.

Logical passion. I don't even pay attention to odds. I would rather win one game out of 2000 entries I like than win a game I don't like out of a 200. Games I don't like are just clutter, so it stands to reason I don't want any of them. I'm a bit picky, so it works out in such a way that even if during periods where many games I like are around and I'm out of points, they're usually at least a few hours away so plenty of time to pick them up. If a quick one-hour one comes up, I just leave an existing giveaway with plenty of time left to enter the more urgent one. During slow days, I usually have at least 300 points so I don't even have to think about it.

When i had almost 3k entries and haven't won a single game yet I started going logically, and got one game that i really didn't want. So now ill just go for games I really want to trie, no matter the odds.

Whenever I go on a point spending spree I'm pretty much looking to run out of points, so if I see a game I want with awful chances I just keep scrolling until I find a GA for it that has better odds, it's pretty rare for there to be only one giveaway of a specific game currently running.

I go for passion. I just enter the game that I will play within a year or two. Going thought my won history, it seems it tells otherwise. Lots of better odd wins. But again most of those better odds wins are from groups that appreciates playing won games.

I don't look at the odds. I just enter by time left and on wishlist. Granted my wishlist is insane at this point. I add games to it I think I will like or just dlc for games I have.

Logic: enter the GAs which you are most likely to win, taking points from games you want more, so you can enter GAs with better odds, even though you're less excited about owning that title

To be precise, that's not actually logical. A logic-based approach would factor in P cost, inherent game merits [eg, replayability, multiplayer aspects, production quality, etc], AND personal appeal, to create an amalgamated valuation for each game. What you're describing would instead be a limited form of cost-efficiency or, when put to less favorable considerations, blind covetousness.

Of course, there are times when quantity is the more logical option, such as if you factor in your library having only a limited number of unplayed games, or the games in question being of a high consumption genre (despite their low appeal) or similar. So it can be the logical approach but, as you described it, it is not; Fundamentally, it's no more logical than your "passion" route, which logically assess quality as being more desirable over quantity, as the reverse of your "logic" route's assessment.

Both are overly fixated on a single parameter [and thereby not logical unless the parameter in question is key to a specific query format or for some reason weighted over the other parameter, as per the low unplayed count of library games I mentioned earlier] and in fact, if the deviation in entry count isn't substantial, the quantity route would actually potentially be the less logical route (in much the same way that buying disposable dishes over real dishes is typically disfavorable in the long run, if there's not a specific reason to put a preference on the prior option, even though both options at an initial glance are fairly comparable).

( Mind, I'm a fan of disposable dishes and, similarly, have pretty wide gaming tastes. My argument isn't against the splitting point of the poll, but of the titling being used for it. )

TL;DR version:
Logical approaches base in the most suitable approach for a specific situation, or by having the most overall benificial outcome. The poll being presented doesn't set any specific situation to be addressed, and offers two comparably beneficical outcomes. Thus, both options can be considered logic based.

Strictly passion. I used to enter all giveaways I could and ended up winning a game that I wasn't actually that interested in. I felt terrible about stealing a win from someone that would've probably enjoyed it a lot more, so now I only enter giveaways of games I know I'd enjoy and play right away, no matter the odds.

To be fair I've been burned by that approach - I ended up winning a GA with 1 in 9000 chances only for it to be fake, which was pretty soulcrushing - but I see that as my just deserts for being selfish during my early days on this site

Since the list of giveaways I enter is generally pretty small I never run out of points - but if I somehow did manage to run out I guess I would try to reduce the list even more and prioritize those games

It's a mix of both. Sometimes its better to take your odds with a 200:1 chance on a good game that seems fun than a 4000:1 chance on AAA title (looking at you, Elden Ring)

It might be that the most idiot, underrated game but more fun than the top-seller on Steam. You can't know just by looking at the Steam store page. I really enjoy having some 'chill' titles to play
Sometimes the logic just goes out the window, I'm pushing hard for Starbound and Statisfactory and will enter a GA no matter the odds

First things I check is DLC > Wishlist > Group then everything else
There are people who strive to have 5.000 games just for that icon. Everyone can do whatever they want but I feel its a lot of effort for very little reward

"Passion".
Heck, if a giveaway for a highly sought-after game has too few entries I start questioning if i want it enough to potentially take away a "high chance" for someone else who (supposedly) also really wants it and I often end up just removing myself from it. It's not about winning- it's about the game going to someone who's most likely to like it. But, anyway, that's beyond your question. ^_^'

Passion divided by logic, and a peppering of the divine hand of fortune.
