But yeah, moving onto me, it hasn't been that long since I've signed-up here, but my found wasn't exactly new. I saw the SG links quite somewhere on forums and sometimes when searching for specific games in Google. Well, I always avoided because it didn't make much sense for me at the first thought. I thought of being possibly scammed so I stayed away, seen it "Definitely can't be legit." at the time. And plus I'd usually giveaway my games to my friends since I didn't have any community.

But then, some lot's of stuff happened, I lost three of my best friends, and now the last one is in army for another year, so I'm alone, also left alone with my extra keys. :P Well, I went and tried for G2A, for a while, and it actually worked up for some. I have Final Fantasy XIV and soon Heavensward too thanks to it. But after I got what I needed I got bored again, and selling and waiting was too boring.

So I went and typed in Google: "Steam Giveaways". So I checked through the first page and signed up on four of them (One being SG). SG mainly got me for the design, to be honest. So yeah, my first giveaway happened with a DLC. I didn't decide to stay on to be honest, but there were like some games on my wishlist I saw being given away, so I was like why not. But then I've learnt about CV system and more levels => more giveaways. So I used my last pennies on G2A to get a game, gave away.

But yeah, right now I guess I'm pretty much... At least hourly checking the site. Started up GD too, meanwhile I wait stacking for more points. So yeah, that is my story. What's yours? :P

I don't even know myself.

I've spent some part of my life thinking and trying to remember how did I got here, but I never seemed to remember. I do know that I started using forum like 4-5 months after i started using the site.

during the 2011 steam holiday sale's coal event, i got a copy of worms: reloaded. i didnt want it, none of my steam friends wanted it, and while browsing the forums a guy said that if you didnt want a game you got from the event then you could give it away on this website.

then i won cogs, and i've stuck around ever since.

Wow. Tough stuff that.

There's no option for those who don't know themselves and got here by friends. :(

It eventually stemmed from discovering bundles, it went a bit like this:

  • Discovered bundles in November 2012 and bought the Humble THQ bundle
  • Bought 2 or 3 more Humble Bundles in 2013
  • Curious if there were any other sites like Humble I ended up on Groupees and bought Groupees BeMine 9
  • BeMine 9 had a March of War $10 in-game coupon in it that I didn't want so I went to the March of War Steam forum and offered it for free
  • Some dude said he'd give me a bundle key for the coupon instead, I got King's Bounty: The Legend for it
  • Same dude asked me if I wanted to buy an Indie Gala bundle at happy hour prices, I didn't really know what it was and declined
  • I later googled Indie Gala and the bundle and went back to him and bought it with Paypal
  • Thought it was cool that said dude could get games so cheaply so I stalked what groups he was in to see if I could get a lead on cheap games
  • Joined Group Buys after seeing he was in it as it seemed pretty good
  • Stalked his profile again, saw he was a member here, checked it out and I liked the look of the place so I signed up

Was giving away spare keys in GOG forums, and thought there has to be a better way to give keys so it is not just fastest in gets the keys, so did a Google search with the intention to make a website if I couldn't find one.

I was googling something to do with Steam (can't remember what exactly) and came across a youtube video titled 'How to get Steam Games for Free.' Thought I'd have a look and one of the ways it said was through gifting sites so googled Steam Gifts and found this.

At the end i see that this site is actualy cool n stuff like that so i kept going
After a will i started to giveaway random shit like torchlight and other basic games that i could find in less then a doller
And then im here....hungry for Hack N' Slash (im not begging im just sayin xD)
But i enjoy this site its actualy grate if i may say
I hope all the new steamgifters have a good time and have better luck then me.

Tip : giveaway stuff...you will feel good and you get points to get levels(and trust me...i hate being level one.... trust me... be level 3-6 and then start a lif long way of winning giveaways).

A friend told me about it and explained to me what it was. I was like 'cool' and signed up, read the faq, entered some giveaways, won a game and decided I should give something away as well, so I did.

I have always been here.

I was asked to test the beta by cg because he remembered me from a few TF2 events we'd done. Plus, I am amazing, and everyone wants to have me help them with random things.

So, I was here.

I used to frequent the Terraria forums back in the day, One day I wanted to do a giveaway for Terraria, so I googled around for a website to use for it. Steamgifts was one of the first ones I found, and it looked good so I went with it.

I don't even remember...3 years ago was when I got back into PC gaming. I remember buying a few games before the summer sale then was pissed they were all 75% off. Hadn't used steam in years so I had no idea or had forgotten about summer sales :P. But I was searching forums of the respective games and I might have saw SG there. Either that or a friend, I'd ask but he passed away a few years ago.

I was being cheap one day and was Google ways to earn free steam games/cash. Steam Companion is the one I found first, but didn't really like it. Soon after I found SteamGifts.

all i remember is i had to get an invite code from somewhere. don't remember how i heard of it to know i wanted an invite code, but it didn't take all that long to find a code, use it to register, give away some extra games from my inventory and even win one myself!

It was during the 2011 coal madness. During that time I received all games of FEAR(a time before bundles, this was pretty good). I was so happy that I wanted more(even tho I never played because I fear), made a little Google search and found this.

I regret ever since :P
