Reasons to Give?

there is none. if you believe in karma you get karma, if you want to make someone happy, you earn the pleasure of making someone happy

The creator gets none of them. In the past he would get the same 5% but it was turned off due to exploits, see the 6 Valve Complete Packs.

A giveaway creator can only receive the thanks of the community.

Well, say you win a game. You get to give something back to the community :) I giveaway games I know I won't end up playing or are on sale cheap so someone else will get something for nothing and I get to be a wannabe Santa Claus.

I just like to see thanks lol. is that a weird reason?

It's steamgifts.com you know?

Not steamgivemesomethingbackformygiveaway.com :P

Cult personally goes down on you.

Making giveaways: you are doing it wrong.

We are just insane. Beware it can be contagious.

Spare copy,...need attention,...think he get something back,... there are 1000 possible reasons.

makes someone over the internet happy.

Pleasure of giving.

If you don't enjoy making someone else happy, you have no soul.

I make them because why not.

Out of the good of your cold, black heart.

Correct. The creator of the giveaway does not receive any points. Upon a successful giveaway, your feedback is updated to reflect the value.

My lawyer said that if I could prove some acts of philantrophy my line of defence may be being a modern Robin Hood. He insisted on helping kids in Africa but appearently they don't need games.

Yes, giveaway makers don't get any extra points. We give because we like giving.

it feels good.

I give so i can join giveaway groups I can leech afterwards

I give because underneath my Vulcan facade beats a human heart.

Sharing is caring. If you care for us, you share games with us, you give games to us. That's a nice reason.
