Add a quick giveaway button for games we already own a copy of that we want to give away.

Open

Basically, in our "owned games" list you could add a button next to the games that would just link to the "create a giveaway" page and automatically fill in the "select a game" portion of the giveaway process.

I only suggest this because there are A LOT of games on steam and it's really hard to find the game you are trying to giveaway as I can personally attest after trying to create a giveaway a few minutes ago and deciding to give up on it because I was looking for the title of the game I was trying to giveaway for about 10 minutes after realizing I was about 500 items on on a 5 item per page scroll of over 2000 possible choices.

I then came to the realization that I already personally own the game and went to my games list to see if what I am suggesting was already a viable option.

I have made a quick mock-up of what I am describing here: http://i.imgur.com/UwR17wr.png

Also I feel a little stupid after searching Google images to find a gift box icon to use for that mock-up after noticing there is one here: http://i.imgur.com/vyy67nf.png

Also, being able to show images in discussions rather than just a link to them would be another suggestion of mine. :p

Thank god for that haha. I figured it was probably already in the works considering it's a pretty common thing for forums.

As you type the name of the game in the box, the selection narrows to what you've typed. Is that not happening for you? What did you type that gave you 20,000 choices?

Well I have multiple games I plan on giving away but the one I am referring to in this post is "The Culling of The Cows."

Well, that explains it all. This game is/was a free mass-giveaway (by indiegala I think).

So no giveaways here- It's not in the list.
