What's wrong with people?

EVERYTHING

I like potatoes.

First of all, multiple accounts are forbidden and prosecuted.

Secondly I do not think that anybody should dictate how others gift. And what is more I would not consider giving away games as an investment.

Multiple accounts are forbidden.

And you don't have to "invest" your money. Just stop making giveaways and stop complaining and invest your money in games for yourself.

You know what would be awesome right now? Pancakes!

This site is not an investment.

Translation: Why do people only make giveaways where I have to compete with a lot of other people instead of setting the contributor limit to match my contribution.

Mostly because people are giving out of the spirit of giving, and not for a give/take reward system. Both have their place.

SG isn't about getting the games (actually for most of us it takes waay to long to actually win what we like)
It's more of a community with puzzles.
I think it's more of a giveaway-site for friends who share private links / or groups in many cases.

Since giving away doesn't only depend on the WILL to give away but also on monetary factors it wouldn't be fair to make those WEALTHY enough to giveaway more eager to win even more games. What should be "penalized" is to have much money and not giving away anything. The system is fine as it is because groups are created for those who contribute much to the community and, in those groups, giveaways have fewer entries and, therefore, bigger chances of winning. Excuse my English.

" those who are invested lots of money in this site"

invested

INVESTED

I'm the only one who think that "investing" in this site is not the smartest idea?

It's this attitude right here which is why I don't visit TF2R anymore, it literally got to the point where everyone who made a raffle demanded that the winner had positive rep (IE had made a raffle before) which really defeats the point of giving and sharing our favorite games (and unloading extra humble bundle games)

Bah! A pox on your "noble" values. I'm here for glory and swag!

Thank you for calling yourself out by making this topic.

What if people really don't have money and would like to play a game too?

is wierd.

People should really stop investing... It's horrible and tragic.

well,there are alot of games that have like 500$ limit,so they have a better chance of winning

Your post is just as strange to me as those asking for contributor giveaways to be abolished. There's a great system in place. Whoever wants to give away a game can decide what the contributor requirement should be, within reason. End of story. If you see your contributions to steamgifts as an investment, (imo) you're doing it wrong. Feel free to do steaminvestments.com, though, and best of luck.

Edit: I'm giving you the benefit of doubt, so I sincerely hope you've activated your won copies of Cthulu saves the World and Jagged Alliance. It's been less than 7 days since you won them, so you may well have gifted extra copies. If you haven't, it seems you forgot to read the terms accompanying your "investment".

Because this site is in the spirit of giving...choosing to contribute is a personal choice and just because someone doesn't give away any games doesn't mean they are a bad member of the community and they deserve a chance to win games too...

Well, ther'e plenty of contributor-only giveaways, so I really don't see why you think contributors aren't being supported. And based on what I've heard, multiple accounts are bad, mmm-kay?

People with multiple accounts don't really gain as much as you think, they still have to activate the game on the account that won it so they'd just end up having a few games on each account which is silly. They would have to log into a different account to play a different game.

I don't think there are as many people that do that as you think, I also don't think you understand how this site works very well.

I hope someone makes a private $250 cont giveaway for any game from your wishlist and posts it here.

I'll give you a couple of days to activate your Jagged Alliance and Cthulhu Saves the World copy, if they are not on your account, I'll simply report you for regifting. So much for investment.

So, you sayin' people with multiple accounts have better chance to win? Of course they have, that is why it isn't permitted.
