Hey guys,

I really wonder where you get all that money for your giveaways (or, where you get all those gifts) from oO?

I mean, I would love to put up giveaways also, but I don't really want to spend money (I would gift things that I got in my inventory, but I gifted those things to friends).

There are people with a gifts worth a few thousand bucks - are they just really nice richfags?

Just wondering ;)

Spend $1 a month for games for other people. It will be more than enough.

Some people spend it on booze and destroying their liver, and it MAKES THEM HAPPY.
Other people spend it on games, and gift those games here. THAT MAKES BOTH THEM AND RECEIVERS HAPPY.

What's not to understand? No one FORCES them to gift and donate, they CHOOSE TO, because IT MAKES THEM HAPPY.

Don't be naive. 500$ is mostly worth between 125$ and 250$. Don't forget to factor sales, which are where most people get games for gifting.

$125-250 is still a lot of money in a week. You cant even match that amount in 10 months

I joined a bit over a month ago, my profile has a weird error regarding the join date. And I don't have a job. Why be so agressive?

Also I never said it was a bad thing.

I give away:
Leftovers from trades, games I bought on Steam and acquired through an Indie Bundle later so I don't need them anymore, impulse purchases of cheap games during discounts I'm not that interested in after all.

Not really most people who win aren't disadvantage. I mean there are some but I would say the majority is not.

Some of these guys are probably involved in gaming in some way, and earning money from it. Developers, reviewers and bloggers, forum and server owners, etc.

Just so you know, the amount of developers and such giving away games here is extremely minuscule. The overwhelming majority of giveaways are created because people have bought the games specifically to give away here, or have decided they don't want them, or bought them on impulse, etc. Most people have some sort of disposable income, some choose to spend it here. That's really all it is.

I didn't give away much, but every single game I gave away here, I bought SPECIFICALLY for giving away here.

If i had a job (currently finishing school), i would likely put a part of my savings into buying games, which means i would buy gifts aswell.

Right now the stuff i buy is a bit of money i get from here and there to go out sometimes, rather than waste it on drinks and smokes. I waste it on games (shame on me!).
