Am I a leecher?

Thanks for skyrim

only if you feel like one. their alot of people who don't do giveaways, or do giveaways in a different way, with out using this site. but i really dont see a reason for and inferiority complex here.

I see what you did there

i think you should sue all those dirty scumbags, that give away games and discriminate against you. LEECHER POWER!

I see most of what you did there.

Power to the people!

Just create a giveaway of Secret of the Magic Crystals and prepare to meet only love towards you 'till the end of time.

I see that you put in some kind of hidden message, yet I can't figure it out. Doesn't make sense; an acronym that I don't know apparently unless I missed something.

Generally if you spend a long time as a part of a community and benefit from that community you should want to give back to that community in some way.

Challenge accepted

Thanks for Skyrim~!

Generally I don't mind 'leachers' as long as they are respectful and courteous and don't try to force their way into groups they shouldn't be in. The only thing that bothers me is through things like the free trial of IGN prime (which is over), free promos, holiday gifts from the Steam Giveaway, and extra keys from bundles for games you have/don't want means that most people should have a chance to either make giveaways (or in the example of the last, give them on the forums since giveaways for single keys is against the rules). Instead some people only think about themselves and use these games for trades. :x

My theory is that leachers are like mushrooms, feed them shit and leave them in the dark. Cough me Cough

i was under the impression that this community was here to give people who can't normally buy games the chance at getting a game. seems silly to have a "YOU MUST CONTRIBOOOOOT" thing.

I got 3 of them -.-

I've won a single game. When I got a key for a game I'd never play, I gave it away here instead of trying to sell it or trade it. Why? Cause I won a game already and the site would be dead if no one gave stuff away. Should they force it? No. However I do think more people should give and take equally rather then take, take, take. Thats whats wrong with the world, too much taking, not enough giving.

Damnit! I can't figure out which mistakes are clues and which aren't!

Hmm.

So... close...

In all seriousness, there's nothing wrong with not making any giveaways (unless you've already won multiple things, keep entering, and not making any, then that can get frustrating). If your courteous and don't actively beg for games then you're fine.

damn i see what you did there dang puzzle if only i knew what it was to bother to decipher it

If gifting were made obligatory, then it wouldn't be gifting. Just sayin' ;)

"leechers" is kind of an inappropriate name, but in general (steamgifts, life, etc) it is nice to try to 'give back' something, especially if you receive. Otherwise without some sort of circle, there would end up being nothing.
Worse here, is if people actually bother to criticise a giveaway for whatever reason.

"Leecher" is just a general name for the person who only gets and do not give smth. It's not bad, it is why this site was made for. To give a chance to "donors" to share with leechers :D

I dont like the word leecher. I know few people who can hardly afford games. One of them got an unusual and he just raffled it and gave it away. However he could not even buy the games he wanted, but I gifted him few. I prefer to give to someone who can hardly afford instead to someone who has 500+ games. I dont approve collecting games. That is why I also dont absolutly approve giveaway groups. What is the points of group with 100 people, each of which has 400+ games and they just giveaway one -another. I can hardly get it. Im not trying to offend anyone I just want an explanation.

I myself had 2 games for 2 years and when I joined steamgifts I could not afford games to giveaway. Yes, I was leecher. But I was willing to give and I was one that would play the games he won. Which is more than just adding to 500 games library with 10 games played total.
