What would you say the etiquette is for joining giveaways for packs when you own some of the games? Do you only join them if you own less than half the games? None of them at all? Only one?

What's the forums general feeling on the subject. I'm currently looking at the Dawn of War franchise pack. I already have all the DoW games, and the base DoW2, but not either of the expansions or any of the DLC available, and I'm not sure if I should join. I do really want the expansions, but I'm not sure if that would be greedy since I already have a couple of the games included.

What would you do in the situation?

In that situation, I would leave the giveaway alone TBH. Usually, it is up to the creator of the giveaway, or your own consience. But in that situation, which I am pretty much in, nearly exactly the same, I would not enter DoW Franchise Giveaways, and I haven't been doing either..

Usually it depends on how many of the games I actually own from the thing, depending on how many there actually are. If I own half, then I aint entering, if I own a few, I might enter. But ultimately, clear it with the creator of the giveaway first.

If you just had the Dawn of War platinum, I could see you entering. But you have that and the DoW 2 base game. There's plenty of giveaways for retribution and chaos rising.

It is not against the rules to join such a giveaway although I consider it should be.

I personally don't do it.

I generally avoid entering packs where I already have something unless the giveaway creator specifically mentions being fine with it (and even then I exercise some discretion), or if what I have is only a very minor part of the pack as a whole. If my winning means anything of value goes to waste I'll leave it for someone else.

I would not enter that if I was you, I would only enter it if lets say I had one of the games.
