..not planing on gifting anything to others. So far.

Would that be ok for you?

I mean, what I actually want to figure out by starting this thread: Are people around here actually selfless, keeeping an + 1:1 ratio?

Or is it more about beeing a frantic shopper on steam and bundles sites and than gift the stuff you don't really want, reconsidered, and instead get the more pricy games you really want through gifts?

Where do you get the keys that you gift? Why do you participate here? Why invest time in ascending in this community, which isn't about some common issue or activity, but just wining and gifting games?

Is it just an outsourced branch of the steam community, where those people with noteworthy virtual capital already know each other?

I'm not big in internets/communities. The title of the thread is actually pretty precise. So excuse my questions if you think their're naive.

EDIT:

Since answers keep repeating and I guess most people won't read my other posts in the topic, I just wanted to clarify again: I'm not saying, hey I am totaly selfish and proud of it. I just wanted to know about the motivations of people and how that community works, starting with the reason thar brought ME here. Yes the title of the discussion is a bit provocative. I have my answers now and I'm pretty sure I WILL gift something here if I can spare it in the future.

So, thanks again for you understanding replies.

To those who call me a leech: I guess you call that people in real life as well. So I really don't care what you think about me and I really don't need your gifts.

Oh..OK?
If everyone that does not intend to give away would post that in the forum, we would be flooded by now.
Well...welcome to the 90%-95% and good luck with those freebies, it might take you more then you would expect

Like you, I also came here for the freebies. But I very much enjoyed the community, so I stayed and donated selflessly. For some of my giveaways, I did them to celebrate a circumstance or increase my CV. Nowadays, I give away games for fun when I have the funds.

Welcome to SG! I hope you enjoy it here. I am very much happy that you chose to come straight to the discussion boards, as that is where the heart of the SG community is. Those that choose to blacklist you for "leeching" should feel rather guilty for deriding your attempt to interact with this kind heart of the SG community.

Whether you want to be selfish or not, it's your prerogative. Being selfish isn't against rules, either.

Do what you like, just do it within to the rules.
