About entering certain giveaways

points are free, that´s why people enter giveaways in which they aren´t really interested.

Yeah... Sometime sI wonder if peeps just join giveaways to get a random game.
Do ~2K people really want AudioSurf & An Indie Gala bundle? Do 800 people really want Fortix?

If you could check my entries, Youll see 80-90% of it is for The Ship.
A few DLCs for Sanctum here & There, and from time to time a another good game (Bioshock AC:R)

But its mostly The Ship coz its probz the only game I find interesting. Havent won anything though ._.
I have >200 points most of the time, Doesnt mean I should just use them on whatever...

Well, I don't think people enter giveaways they're not interested in.

Everyone understands that it gets frustrating when your chances are low at winning, but like you everyone has there right to enter any giveaway they please as long they got the points to enter them (and meet any special requirements that might be asked). Many might have games they haven't play, but it doesn't mean they wont get to them. In fact some people had played their games before steam started using the tracking system.

Or they play them offline where as steam does not record the time played

if it doesn't exist on my account, i'm entering.

People enter just to win, rarely they want the games they enter for.

When people really want some game, they go and buy it, no?

This site is mainly for trying your luck at winning games you don't want enough to buy, eh.

I only enter giveaways for games I see myself playing. That being said, I won't enter any giveaways for Skyrim.

The only giveaways I enter when I don't really want to play the game are HL2 giveaways. I usually only enter on the "Half life 2" ones because I haven't played it yet and if I won episode 1 or 2 I wouldn't play them until I completed the first one... But sometimes I enter in all 3 because the chance of winning is so low... might as well.

I don't enter giveaways for new games and that stuff because my PC sucks so most likely they would run at very low fps and I wouldn't finish them.

Tho lately with all the Dota 2 giveaways I always have 300 points so I end up entering in giveaways I wouldn't have tried before.

I only enter Skyrim giveaways.

Personally, I try to only enter things I either want, or think, 'that looks interesting'.

I started only entering for games I truly want quite some time ago.

I mean what's the point of getting a game that you're never going to enjoy? Especially when someone else out there might really enjoy having it. I have quite a few games in my Steam library in a group called 'Never Again', most of which if given the ability to do so I would give away or just delete entirely off my library. I don't see the point in simply adding to that list, it would only further clutter my already cluttered library...

Exactly what I do, altho I also go for games that I don't know much about, but look quite fun. Never have I entered a giveaway just to throw away points. Is that why I always have 300P?

Everyone loves free stuff.

This is bound to happen unfortunetly, there will be always someone who will enter every single giveaway simply because they have the points.

Personally i usually only enter group giveaways, and from those only the ones i'm interested, so i'm pretty much all the time around the 300P mark...

I try to stay below 250 points, so I tend to enter what I normally wouldn't (my entries are mostly based on my chances combined with the games I might like).
Sadly, I doubt I'll ever get the time to catch up with the games I get in different ways by actually playing them, as school is like a 95%-of-my-time investment now, and the other 5% is doing as little as possible or feeding.
I'm one of those people who collect to play "someday" XD

I only enter games that look interesting and I know I would play. I'll be sure to play a demo of a game before entering for it (exceptions if I played another game in the series). Plenty of times I have choose not to enter a giveaway despite being interested in the game I determined that I'd rather someone who'd enjoy it more win.
This leads to me often being at 300P.

if is expensive then i am entering be cause i know i will never buy it lol, of course there are exceptions to the rule when there is something i am honestly interested

People enter to win.

the only giveaway i entered that was for a game i couldn't really see myself playing was the huge fairie solitaire one (though now that i have it i'll probably try it out) when i have lots of points (like now) and there aren't that many giveaways for games i really want, i lower my standards a bit and go for ones i'm sort of interested in.

As if they would even read this
