One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Beginning back in the first days of Steam's existence, with Half-life 2, I used buy a lot of games, because I had a lot of time and plenty of money from a good job in the computer industry. Since the economy tanked in 2007, things have been very different. As one of the "working poor", making near minimum wage, I no longer have the money to buy the new games I would like to, nor to upgrade my eight-year-old rig. Neither do I have the free time I used to, as low paying jobs seem to tax my body much more than my old desk job. I also don't have much money at all in order to buy games for others, to give back what and when I can in good spirit of gift-giving.

So, I eagerly jump at any offer of a free Steam key for a game that has cards, because although a few pennies may not mean anything to you, for me they are a means of obtaining money to buy cheap games to do giveaways. I've also given away all the old Steam Gifts I had accrued before 2008. And it's not a penny a card, usually. Often I can make a dollar from twenty cards. If the cards literally do only offer a 1-2 penny profit, I typically spend a few more pennies and save the set to level up at Summer and Holiday Sale time, because the 100-gem cards one gets for crafting badges at those times produce cards that are worth 8-9 cents each, and inventory items as well.

Occasionally I even find "diamonds in the rough" via free game keys. One example from last year is Low Glow, which I got from gleam.io, and which is one of the most relaxing, enjoyable puzzle games I've ever played, despite being poorly marketed.

I put effort into the on-sale games I buy with the meager funds I earn from card sales. I pay attention to the Steam DB rating and reviews. I read a lot of them. I watch gameplay videos. I only buy cheap games that have a significant user base of people who say they are fun. Some day, I hope, I will get another good job, and be able to give more to others. It feels good to give people things. Until then, I volunteer to sell your "garbage" that you throw away, because to me and others like me, those cards and items have value and it is sad to know they are being put into the trash.

Respectfully, I remind you that there are many kinds of quality. And they are personal and subjective, not universal.

tell me, some leecher won a game that you really wanted, right?

You never know out of wich game you will find enjoyement and fun. I am constantly surprised by amazing hidden gems. Maybe it's a mechanic, maybe it's the art, maybe it's the story, maybe it's only stupid fun. This happened to me since the begining of my gaming years.

Some examples by decade:

• Draconus (1988) for the C64

• Titus The Fox (1991) for MS DOS PCs

• Fight of the Sumo-Hoppers (1996) for MS DOS PCs

• Clive Barker's Undying (2001) for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS

• Super Star Path (won here on Steamgifts) (2015) For Microsoft Windows

That's only a very small sample of them. I used to spend a lot of time surfing old pages like Home of the Underdogs, looking for lost gems of the past. Or experimental gameplay, who gave birth to World of Goo from a very simple proof of concept named Tower of Goo, wich I played to death.

So, no. I disagree with your points. The games must be explored. If you don't like it, you pass to another game.

Who you are trying to fool ? http://prntscr.com/eegssd

enter ONLY THE ONES I LIKE AND I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO PLAY.

... Yet i didnt thank a single one of the creators, who gave me AAA games, because i show my appreciation by giving away said 1$ trash and then create hostile discussions over the people who enter and win my GAs

There, its fixed

Oh, another one of those threads where "blah blah blah I disapprove and blah blah blah this is how you should spend your money and blah blah blah."

When someone else is paying my bills, they can have an opinion on how I spend my money. -_-

Please let us take your trash from yoooooooUUUUUU

Clever people activate garbage on their alts and then trade with their main to transfer cards :D

FOR TODAY IS OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY 🚻

13,362 giveaway enteries in the last year and you only enter good giveaways ... pull the other one mate. xD

the "garbage" games in my library are because i bought bundles that contained them. i never entered a giveaway or bought alone a game that i didn't want to play. sometimes games that don't look good to me but i get as part of a bundle i actually end up enjoying (for example, jamestown and shank) so i add everything from the bundle to my account as long as i don't already have it. i plan to give them all a shot, but the ones that never looked good to me in the first place will need to win me over pretty quickly.

But why do you give out shitty games?

In fact, in this site, I hide all games I don't want to play (like I have 40 active giveway right now).
BUT, I love collect shitty games too. (but not on steamgifts)

Guilty as charged. Do I feel bad about it? Nope. There's the odd gem in all the garbage that I won't have if I didn't pick up all the bundled 'trash'. I do slowly stop buying everything and checked if any of the games in a bundle interests me at all.

Here's more to your pile. I wonder if a crawler gets these first or something

You are talking about trash yet your giveaways are all trash.
