Introduction


Playing Appreciated is a group for members that like to play games they win and for giveaway creators that like to see their games getting played. This sounds simple, yet requires committent and dedication from members by filtering out games they like to play from all group giveaways and when won playing those within one month. In return members will get higher chances of winning games they want and creators will know their giveaways have a high chance of getting played. The group has more than 1000 members and over 25000 historical giveaways.

Group rules


  • You need to set and keep your Steam privacy settings for My profile and Game details public (example);
  • You will play all giveaways you win via this group within one month;
  • When creating a giveaway it is recommended to include a small group rule reminder in your giveaway, something like: "This is a Playing Appreciated giveaway, by joining you commit to playing this game within a month when won.".

How to join


  1. Make sure you did not violate any SteamGifts rules in the last month;
  2. Comment one of the two options to enter the group in this discussion:
    • Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play. The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements. Comment with the name of the game before you start playing it and comment again when you finished playing it. Please upload some screenshots to Steam as well.
    • Option 2: Supporting the cause by creating a group giveaway of a game that you would like to see getting played by other group members within a month as soon as your membership request was approved. The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts).
  3. Press "Request To Join" on our group page;
  4. Wait for us to approve your request, we'll always reply on the comment you have made in this topic.

Final notes


More information and a FAQ is available via the Steam group. Current group giveaways can be found here on SteamGifts. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions!

I like the idea though probably I won't be entering the group GAs anytime soon. I only enter for games that I will play but still my backlog is building up, and I don't have much free time to play this month :( (also I don't "plan" on what to play, I just play whenever I feel like to :P)

Still, interested in joining to see how it will work out and maybe creating some GAs.

Invitation send! Ratio is not a problem, as long as you play the games you win within a month the group goal is achieved. ^^ Givers in this group are free however to make level requirements, but looking at our current giveaways you could join everyone of them. :)

I've invited you. I see that you are idling games - which is not the same as playing them. ;) Keep in mind when joining group giveaways that you will actually be required to really play the games.

I'll gladly accept an invite. Working through my backlog is something i'm striving to do right now. Of course, the best thing is to not add any more in the meantime by playing them too.

Hi Corinarh, your profile went to private while one of the group rules it that you need to have a public profile. Please change it back to public at your earliest convenience if you like to remain part of the group. Please understand that this is needed in order to check if you are playing the games you may win in this group.

Edit: Since you did not respond within three days, you have been removed from the group. Feel free to join again once you have a public profile again! Just reply on this comment in that case.

Alright, make sure it doesn't happen again please. You could leave the group when you want a private profile for a while and feel free to later rejoin then. :) I've send you a new invitation for the group, welcome back! ^^
