Do you enter every giveaway or only the games you want to play?

Personally, I only use points on games I'm interested in.

When I first joined here over a decade ago, I just did all games d:

every giveaway except shitty games which cost 50cv

I used to enter every possible giveaway I could enter with my points. But found good arguments for not doing it anymore, and now I only enter for games I really want to play. Wins got very rare since then, but why enter giveaways for games I will most likely never play? Just for a +1 for the collection?

only games I have interest in playing... I used to enter for +1s, cards, etc...
but now my account is poisoned with junk I won't play from old me.

some days I struggle to keep my points from capping out.

Obviously i will enter for the games that i will play. Already got lots of backlogs.

Just like many others I started entering any giveaway I could, but then you realize it's pointless so now I just join games I actually want to play, means I usually join 30 - 100 giveaways per month. Last time I won a giveaway was 6 months ago too.

Plus I once made the mistake of removing the games I won that I didn't want in my library, turns out they have to be in your library. So I had to get back over 50 games via steam support, one game at a time

I have plenty of points but limited time. It would also be inconsiderate towards the other entrants who would like to play it. So only the games that I know I will eventually play.

Only games I think are worth it and I'm interested in, and I'll eventually play. The "interest" was somewhat lazier in the beginning, but I never entered for games I didn't think were worth trying.

I only enter for games I'm actually going to play should I win them. A lot of people here like to say that they only enter for games that interest them but then actually end up not playing (or even starting) 90% of what they win.

only games that im very likely to play or curious to try out

only games I'd like to play or at least try because of existing interest in them. I don't see a point in entering a giveaway for a game you wouldn't play.

Most of the time, I am at 400 points.

So only games I am interested in and will play.

No point inflating my win counter if I don't intend to play the games. The lower your won/created ratio, the better in the community on various occasions anyway. I'm slow with my wins for personal reasons, but the intention is always there.

Only games I want, this is more fair and keeping games you won't even play is pretty useless

Just enter the ones, I will actually play and enjoy.

No point in reducing chances for others, especially since there must be people like me, who only enter for games they want.

And also I don't want games in my library that I will never play.

I mostly enter only games that looks interesting for me. But when giveaway has 50 copies or more - I enter everything.

Only wishlist games. I don't understand who enters every giveaway available on planet earth.

At first, I enter giveaways from my Wishlist.
If there's no games from my wishlist available, I check DLCs.
If no DLCs available, I just check available giveaways and enter those that somewhat interesting to me.

Only games that I want to play or games I don't know but I think that they can interest me (I discovered Sunset Overdrive like this, it was a good surprise, thanks again PainFoinmr!).

Long time ago, at my first years in this site, I entered in giveaways with 10 000 or plus copies of games that I would never play, just to have some wins as I felt sad to not win giveaways otherwise. But I still regret it to did this... 😓

First games from my wishlist, if none is available i pick games that have trading cards.

If I am not interested in playing a game, I don't want it cluttering up my Steam account. I have no interest in Steam cards, leveling my Steam account, or anything like that, I just collect games I want to play. I won't even activate games that are given away for free if I am not interested in playing them. So, I only enter for games I am interested in playing, but that doesn't mean it will get played right away because I enjoy playing a lot of different games and have been buying bundles for over 10 years, so I have built up a massive backlog of games that I want to play. I prefer to look through my entire backlog of games and play whatever I am most in the mood to currently play to give myself the best chance of enjoying it. Sometimes I will win a game and play it right away and other times it may take many years before I get to it (the game I am playing now I won here over 7 years ago). If the giveaway creator requests that a game is played within a certain time period, I will not enter those giveaways unless I know for sure that I will play it right away, even if it is something I am very interested in. I don't like the pressure of having to play a game within someone elses time frame because I may just not be in the right mood and if I force myself to play it, I may not enjoy the game, but if I waited until I was in the right mood, I might have enjoyed it a lot.

At the start I used to enter all. Got a lot of "trash" cuz of it but made sure I played most of it.
Then had a phase where I only entered for games I actually wanted to play.
Now I hardly ever enter for anything at all, I really have little to no interest.
I mainly come to the site for sensualshakti's bundle threads. Much love to him/her for all the work that gets put into those.

I only enter stuff that looks good or interesting, with the intent to check them out - not necessarily the reality. Definitely not entering everything, lol.

Only the games I want to play.

13 won so far.
11 already played 😄

I used to enter for games I am interested in when my library was smaller, now I enter every giveaway from group "old key, might delete" and DLC's I don't own. Usually, I create something in return for others when I win.
