"Why would anyone give something to a stranger for free?"

For CV.

But how do you know that the members are giving games just for the sake of giving and not for the purpose of leveling up and getting more games through high level GAs?

Because I'm being gifted games from other strangers?

It's like a working relationship. Well, it should be.

Thanks for the chance :)

After the first time you give something it feels great.

Good post, Khalaq. Cheers mate.

Gaming has been my passion since I was about 4-5 years old, it wasn't until last year that I started donating to charities through Humble Bundle purchases, then I discovered this site and I stopped activating every single key since I knew I didn't have the time or the interest to play them all and started giving them away, it's better that someone else has fun with them!

Now this year SG accepted region locked GAs so I gave away Witcher 1 since I loved it myself and wanted to share the love, I also donated to another charity, so I can honestly say that my gaming experiences have helped me a little bit. It's not a lot, but it's what I can do right now, and that's enough for me and it's more than what I've ever done in the past :]

I'll side with the cynical ones and also assume this is just some PR stuff. Another example that I feel is not staged is this video. Yeah, yeah, that one covers a basic need item while here it's just luxury shit but I like to think the principle is the same. And like the story in the vid with the guy that got back on his feet and returned to the store to "pay back" the generosity he had come to know that's how I hope people that win giveaways will come back and create more giveaways for other users when they can.

I gave a stranger a gift and now I'm bestfriends with them <3

I think I'd feel creeped out if someone did that to me. But I"m just a grumpy old man.

I've been on both sides and whenever I can, I like to give something to a friend or a stranger. It just brightens a day, and makes everyone involved happy. Doesn't have to be a AAA - just something you like and want to share; or something on their wishlist.
