The dumbest opinion about steamgifts ever

His analogy is stupid.
It's more like you have to register the car instead of driving it.

"I suggest you check out the competitors sites since, I think, they have a better future"

Funny guy

"The site is very clunky compared to their competitors"
Not only does SG have the best looking site of all the giveaway sites, I'd say in general a a website, it looks and feels great.

"Besides steamgifts.com restrictions are purely dumb (what is basically a lottery)"
wut..? What did this guy think it was? First come first serve?

"cant enter into a giveaway f you own the game already"
As much as we'd all love to win fortix twice. It just isn't impossible to own the same game twice on the account.
God this guy was a retard. lol

Nice read though.

Good lord. He clearly didn't read the frigging rules and still complains!? Someone should give him a wake up call.

• e.g., rule concerning the need to activate the game within 7 days of winning it (= its like someone telling you that you need to drive the Ford Mustang within 7 days of winning it)

Well, If I buy a Mustang and decide to give it away to someone, for free, I'll give it to someone who is going to drive it. If you're going to keep that mustang in your garage don't enter a mustang lottery.

This made me laugh :P

The thing about most giveaway sites is that they condition the users to win games, not necessarily "games I want to play".

SGifts does nothing to dissuade this opinion outside of a FAQ that not many people do read (same applies to FAQs all over the internet and irl - they're nice pamphlets designed to be disclaimers moreso than rules). The win bar only tells you to expect it received, and doesn't remind you to activate the game. To cut it simple: There is a dearth of reminders, anywhere, on this site for new members. You are expected to come in and follow the same directions, and memorize them before entering even your first giveaway. That is a fucked up process. People don't design products for the masses while expecting intelligence. That's why Quora has moderation issues in order to keep a public site intelligent enough for its community. That's why every app, even simple music players, have mandated tutorials everyone needs to go through at least once.

If SGifts wants to change this mass opinion, then they'll have to publish the rules somewhere where every user will find it easily (preferably only one mouse click from the front page), and there will have to be many more mods (and shadow mods) to enforce these rules without relying on support tickets from the community.

It's frankly embarrassing that so many of you don't get this, and instead choose to laugh at the issue at hand.

He is or from competitor site or wants to regift games to rise contributor.

Don't like don't use, cant be simpler.

Why doesn't he just stick to Playblink and Galagiveaways instead of bitching about the SG rules, which are clearly laid out for all to see.

If you don't like the terms and conditions, steer clear.

Caveat ballbaggus.

"The pure pleasure of winning is mostly fun for me, not playing the useless games that are mostly listed there"

What.

Cut off his balls!

What's the point of this calling out??? (Anyone who knows the text and himself)

If your got nothing better to do fine, else just ignore it. The hate spam on this forum is insane, admins should ban this crap.

lol

If I could talk to this guy face to face I'd give him a piece of my mind... I'd tell him how stupid it is to put an equal signs right after an opening parenthesis, making it look like a smiley face, especially when he says "it's like" right after that, which is essentially what the equal signs would mean.

I'll never understand why people break the rules on free sites where they have the ability to earn something for doing nothing.

wut? if u dont want to play the game, why bother enter the steamgift?
if you already owned the game why bother to enter the steamgift? give chance to other who want to play

"cant enter into a giveaway f you own the game already"

because then everyone would just enter the big giveaways and sell the games O.o

tl;dr

Wow

Some people are just... arggh!!! >:(

Haters gonna hate.

I found it quite funny!

what competitor websites? galagiveaways? hahahahahahahhahahahahahhahaa

I hope no stupid teenager ever loosens my account.

:(

Funny he calls CG a teen, the site where he is crying on is mostly kids.
