I'm not the right person (I'm left-handed) but I'm interested in Psychonauts and my girlfriend is in Costume Quest so I can trade it for something if you want, check out my inventory..

Give it to your best gaming friend :) Why giving game to a stranger? I cant give you any "why?" so give it to your friend ;). He will apraise these good games.

you cant find 'right people' here try your steam friends

"How to do it safely and give them to the right people?"

… See? A couple people get bitten and it ruins it all for the rest of us!

You could ask who would like it and after seeing all the replies, check their steam profiles for time played/number of games. Find one you like and give it them.

If you do it that way, I'm just gonna put it out there that I'd really like Tropico. I love strategy games and I'd like to play it. I've been eyeballing it for a while now but I haven't gotten around to putting it on my (extensive) wishlist yet.

Well private (and known) groups are usually where you'll be guaranteed you'll be giving the game to someone who will enjoy it, it's one of the reasons i mostly do group giveaways only. Either that or you could create a private giveaway and give the link to those who you know are worth it, therefore the lottery will be only limited to those you want only.

Very high CV maybe?

Ask people to beg with reasons why they want it, and maybe make sure it is on their wishlist and has been for a while.

Giving them to your friends is probably your best option, or as previously posted a private giveaway with friends

Give it to really unlucky people. \Subtle Beg

If you don't want to give it to friends or put it in a group, I'd suggest to give it to someone that asks it gently, not like begging. For example, I'd be very happy to get the double fine bundle. But I guess you won't do that, so it's just a suggestion :)

As others have stated, either private giveaways or gifting it directly on Steam.

If you're asking how to find the right people, that's a different matter. If you you're in any groups with people that share your interests, that's a good place to start. If you frequent any websites, it's entirely possible that there are other Steam users (and possibly even a group) on that site. CAG, for example, has a Steam group.

Don't give them at all, kill all the beggars! Ppl only play what they buy(not talking about bundles) they rarely play games they won.

Make a puzzle or something, people that are interested in playing it will try to solve it. Other than that see if your friends need it or make a special rule for the giveaway (you might need to check the rule with the support before you use it on a giveaway though)

Hi there, my name is People. The Right People. You can count on me to relieve you of all this pain :D

1: Go into a Steam public chat of some sort.
2: Ask, "Has anyone played [game]?"
3: Wait for someone to say, "I really wanted to try it," or something along those lines.
4: Go to their steam profile, check their wishlist. If they have a lot of games on it, but not the game in question, pass. If they have the game in question on their wishlist, give it to them.

EDIT: If they have NO games on their wishlist, it's probable they just don't use the wishlist and you'll want to use your judgment to figure out whether they really want the game or not.

My usual suggestion is to make a puzzle that only the "right" people will solve. How you're gonna do that? I have no idea, who are the right people anyway? :P

Heh, if you want just the people who want the game, maybe you can try making a puzzle and say which games you're giving away in the start. That way only people who want those specific games or people who like solving puzzles will solve it. I guess the former are the "right" people and the latter either won't enter or will want to try the games out anyway. ;)

"You are the so-called right people. By right people, I mean people who really want my games, as a collector or player. I want people to be happy after receiving my gift. The problem of Steamgifts is that most of the time people, including myself, just bid any games available to use all the 300 points. Chances are we're bidding a lot of games we don't like. If you really want to play / collect Tripico Trilogy (It's a 3 in 1). I'll be more than happy to give it to you without the notoriously unfair lottery."

Well, when you put it that way, I'd like to grab the Humble Bundle, if I may.

The only thing i can think of is making a giveaway with CV of 30.01+ to avoid leechers and the ones who only gift bundle games...

you could make a puzzle for it?
itstoohard.com or something, and then post it here? usually people who use the forums are less likely to just use up all their points on everything on the front page and more likely to actually enter giveaways for games they actually want

Or just invite random people who said anything in this thread :D

Maybe the right people are the ones who have the game on their wishlist for a long time.

But then again there are some people that simply add every game to their wishlist.

Btw: somewhere in this thread, you mentioned an "unfair lottery" - if you're talking about the steamgifts system, then this is as fair as a lottery gets - everyone who enters has the same chances to win, it's totally (pseudo-)random.

I`m the right guy, trust me.

Just make them prove themselves worthy by doing a puzzzle or something like that :)

There are no "right" people, forget any "fairness" criterias - random is the only option, when you deny any personal responsibility for giving a game away, because if you chose someone personally - any people who also can be "right" ones will be out of the game. As for me creating giveaway, monitoring it ending, adding on steam or sending an e-mail is too time-consuming process, so I prefer to post game keys in random threads, so I deny any personal responsibility - game is won by people who are 'in the right place at a right time', not subjectively chosen - so they are indeed right ones, aren't they?
