Winners Not Playing Games Won

Well, I won metro LL more then 1 month ago and I only started playing it yesterday I want to play every game I won but I don't have the time for it.

Personally the games I won, I find most of them are good and I'm looking forward to playing them its just I don't have enough time nowadays also with dead space 2 I would play it but I want to play dead space 1 which I hope to pick up in the next sale :P

It's a pain in the ass for some people to install and play all their games right away if their internet is slow as shit.

I think the point system needs a drastic rework.
suggestion: points gained only 20% of what it is atm and maximum points you can have 150 or 200.
what do you think?

Because maybe they have other games they are currently playing? I mean, they have a lifetime left to play the games...

Who cares. But this happens because people are forced to activate games they've won.

As long as the game is added to their library and marked as received, I don't care when they're going to play it.

It's a gift, not a loan.

I don't care usually, but sometimes I do because I gifted a game because I think it's awesome and everyone should play.

Some people have hundreds of games to play, you know. It's called "backlog".

I keep a SG Backlog category in Steam to make sure I give those games a fair shot at some point. But as I really only got back into PC gaming a year ago, and now have ~360 games.... yeah it's going to take me a bit to get to some of them.

So, sorry if I haven't played your giveaway yet, but it's on my "to-do" list.

I couldn't if I tried. I'm still downloading a gifted game that I won about a week ago.

You do know not everyone has time to play them right away and some people have bandwidth caps or really slow internet.

I wanted to play the game I won, but it turned out I couldn't run it efficiently at all despite meeting the minimum requirements. Hate it when developers mis-list their minimum reqs like that. 5 FPS != minimum requirements for a game where reflexes are a factor. :(

Honestly I wish I could re-gift it so that someone else could use it, since I can't.

I rarely play anything right after getting it, but it doesn't mean I never will.

Still, I agree people shouldn't join giveaways for games they know they will never play. Let people who want to play the game a chance to win it.

I don't think there's much to be done about people not playing what they won. I do think that it would be better to limit more the giveaways people can enter. When the chance to win is 0.1% on average, people who want to win something will enter into giveways for games which are very low on their list. They can because there's no practical limit on the number of giveaways the can enter.

If people could enter fewer giveaways they'd select games they want more and have less reason to select games lower on their list. That doesn't guarantee they'll play the games, but it will at least make some people feel better. :)

300 points its too much points, they should limit them to 90 or 60, that way would assure people would spend the points in games they really want instead join every single giveaway...

Wait, people actually follow up and look to see if someones playing the game that they won?

Why? They will play it when they feel like it, I mean hell I have bought games and played them years later....I didn't realized I had to drop everything I am doing to play the game I just won O_o.

This all seems extremely stalker like also.

Dude, I buy games, and get games, and sometimes it takes me years to get to it. I have a large list of games I am actively playing, with an even larger list of games in my 'to play' category. 99% of the games I have will get played, but I am in no rush to just try it out and forget about it when I am active with others. I usually wait until nothing I have been playing appeals to me at the moment, and then I either go to my to play cat., or look at games I enjoyed in the past.

I trade the game I win for a game I really wanted.

If you're getting annoyed because people dont play the games they won and you have to stalk them, maybe visit a doctor or cuting the internet for a couple of weeks is the solution.Maybe it is annoying to see people complain about what others do with their games?Yes, they won it they own it, deal with hit.If you dont like it then don't put up stuff for free or make private ga's only for your friends but stop complaining about people you done even know.And also you finish a game in offline mode without having a second of playtime displayed.Think about it.Your whole post is a waste of time.

Losers not playing games lost.

I checked my winners. 1 of them played their won game 0.1 hours. 1 didn't play their game (Im not actually mad at them). BUT one of them REGIFTED it i think -.-

I love how you've played 1/5 of your library for more than an hour, yet, you whine about this sort of thing.
