Do You Post Back On Your GA Wins To Tell The Giver You've Finished The Game You Won?

I think I've tried only two games I've won here (don't judge me, I'm playing very little in general, took me 3-4 months to finish Talos Principle) and no, I didn't tell about it to the GA creators. Although I've received feedback like that from winners of my GA's and it was cute :)

I started to do so, but I'd do it to the people who looks like they would appreciate it. If someone looks like he wouldn't care then I wouldn't bother. I would also love it if people told me they played my games.

I don't, unless I know the GA creator on some level (ie. know they'd probably like to hear it) or if they've said on the GA something along "please enter only if you intend to play".

I don't usually do that unless I was VERY excited about both the win and the gameplay itself.

I still didn't tell the person I won Shadow Warrior (2013) from that I did even though I wanted to.. instead I just have a lame entry comment about the entries 24 minutes before it ended.

Honestly, I doubt a majority of people care either way.. or so I think.. but now I feel even less capable to leave that comment that I finished it. It doesn't look like I left any comments for the games I finished, though.

I did it one time. I think it's actually a nice idea :)

I do give feedback on my playthrough experiences if two conditions are met:

1) If the game left some sort of impression on me -- could be good, bad, or just something I found interesting.

2) If I think the person who made the giveaway would actually appreciate or care to read my thoughts.

I also tend to only enter in giveaways in which I think I will actually have the time or desire to play the game within a month or so of winning, as I feel it is kind of wasteful to just win games that I don't intend to play for a long time. I don't really mind if others are just collecting or entering for some unspecified time in the future or whatever, but I personally would not want to deprive someone who is really anxious to try a game the chance to do so if my level of interest isn't as high.

I don't do it just because I feel it will annoy the GA creator to hear back from a winner weeks/months later.

No, I doubt they would care.
I just go back to the GA to post a thank-you comment when I win a GA and the creator delivers the key.

it will take some time now

Sometimes, when I really enjoy the game. It would be nice if one of my winners did that.

Occasionally

I did it only once. It was a wishlist game I've won from Yunie and I wanted to say "thanks" for a second time.

I did once. Because I was expecting a meh game but i enjoyed it more than i thought. Also I have never tried only 2 of my wins.

I'd love to do it but as an achievement hunter it'll probably take me a long time to get through some of the other games I'm planning to finish first and then complete the games I won here. It will all happen but it'll take time.

If someone replied to my post about finishing a game they won from me like 1 year later I'd be more than happy to read that but I can't be sure of how others might react so I'd most likely avoid doing that so as not to annoy anyone here (even though I personally wouldn't think it's annoying or consider it to be a spam).

You're missing an option from your poll. Currently no. But that's a really good idea.

I guess even if you played it and enjoyed it but didn't finish. It's still worth a warm fuzzy back to the gifter.

Did it once (1 year after I won the game).

I didn't do it before, but i will try now. You've got a brilliant idea :)

Maybe I will try it next time.

I've absolutely done it and will continue to do so, excepting "mass giveaways" I only enter from my wishlist, and many are appreciative that their game went somewhere it was enjoyed.

I do, or at least that I have given it a good shot. In fact, one game I absolutely loved and rushed to tell the GA creator and thank them for a wonderful experience. One I had to tell the GA creator I could not run the game due to errors, and some I haven't started yet. I can't remember any instances of anyone telling me that tried/completed it, but I wouldn't mind whatsoever.

Rarily, but yes.

I do every time. It's fun, it's a way to check a game off my backlog, and sometimes the GA creator appreciates it. They don't need to answer or anything, but it's fun to do. I just did one on Friday!
