IF anyone would like to redo this with all the fancy editing or cutting it down please go ahead, i just wanted to get it all out there and I have no idea how to edit it and make it look nice.
Edit: I shortened it! if you it is still too long then i will have another go at it.

this rule would be hard to implement tbh

Oh sod off. tl;dr so I skipped to end. I have about 30 games in my queue, I'll play them in whatever damn order I feel like, and wont be dictated to by some butthurt donator who demands you play his gift RIGHT NOW OR ELSE. As for playing WITH the gifter, really? You want to try and FORCE people to do multiplayer too? I bloody hate it most of the time and would go out of my way to make sure you never wanted to try and push that rule on anyone ever again.

There's already a rule against trading your winnings away. Doing so will result in a ban. There are other reasons people may not immediately play a game. I, for example, got a ton of games over the holidays. I probably won't get caught up enough to start playing any new acquisitions for at least a couple of months. Real life concerns can also interfere with gaming (obviously). Trying to force someone to play the game immediately is unworkable, really. This has been discussed here before. I appreciate your intentions, but it's not a realistic policy, I'm afraid.

hopefully a new rule:
Spend atleast 1 hour playing your newly gifted game within the week you got it.

I am against this addition, frankly speaking.

good idea except for the fact that all steam dose is track how long a game is turned on, not real playtime. and this only works if a game has multiplayer, which in all honesty, are not the only games being given here.

I have a bandwidth cap with astronomical overcharge prices, so I often can't even download let alone play a game right away. Not to mention rl stuff; do you really expect me to play a game during the week I have to hand in a big assignment? Please don't assume that everyone is in the same situation as you.

"Spend atleast 1 hour playing your newly gifted game within the week you got it."

That's retarded tbh. You can't dictate what people do with their time. People have different lives of their own and the amount of free time each one has is different from person to person.

Holidays, work, other games, game crashes when started, not enough HDD space, too low FPS to play, broken gamepad, the game is actually too difficult, boring or bad (sad, but still possible), waiting for RL friends to get the game so we can play in co-op with characters with equal progress.

Not necessarily related to my SteamGifts winnings, but I personally "suffer" from the following with some of my games: low HDD space, other games, work, too difficult, too bad, waiting for RL friends.

tl; dr:
Courtesy, yes. But don't try to measure it, it won't work. If I launch a game to let it run in the background, is that being courteous? ;-)
