Hey, I really like the idea of your group, too bad I haven't seen it earlier! As I have only two wins on this page (I only enter giveaways of games I want to play) and both were from mass giveaways ages ago (played one until it got shut down, didn't like the other one, but both already played), I guess I have to create a new giveaway to be join? Just gave away the stuff I found during cleanup, so I'll use this as a bookmark for the next time ;-)

Also adding to what NoSenses said you will also have to change your playtime info to be public on Steam to join. You can see how to do that in the 2nd chapter here if you don't know how.

Hello! I'd like to join. I can't apply for the option 1, bc I have not win a single game yet. But, I have a remaining game of a bundle and I don't mind to make a giveaway. My only question would be: A new public giveaway or only for the group?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the explanation. Right now, I'm downloading TWD: A new Frontier, That would fit the criteria of option 1?

Hello!
I come to ask a question about the rules. I am member of the group from 1 or 2 years and I just do some group giveaways from time to time, and currently I have a giveaway for a DLC of Euro Truck Simulator 2 that only adds cosmetic skins for trucks, and a participant asked how the group rules apply to this case...
I have checked the FAQ but I can't find anything in that regard. The only thing I can think is for the winner to play the base game and use some of the DLC cosmetic, and show it with one screenshot (although that is easily cheatable, but I can't think any other option).
Could some group moderator please help me? Thanks in advance!

You obviously didn't read the instructions because:
a) needs to be a group giveaway
b) the game has been given for free before

sory dude :)
I would like to join the group by using option 2. I want to giveaway F1 2019, if it's okay. Thanks.
Comment has been collapsed.
There are not many games I would like to play so I do not enter many giveaways lately ofc if I would enter something I like and if I win I would play the game
But for joining I would prefer option 2.

Hi yoshirules, you are welcome to join with option 2! Join request approved, welcome to the group! Please make the giveaway as soon as possible :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks I will. Are there any rules how long a giveaway should run? I cannot find it
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, you are free to set the duration/level any way you want. It just needs to have a winner in the end :)

thank you! here is my first will add some more later

btw if someone is and on my wl and a member in this group, the rules of playing within a month still applies?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for sharing!
No, they do not have to play it, however we will always double check with you if they are indeed a member of your WL (as there is no way for us to check/know that).
Comment has been collapsed.
@yoshirules, for people who win the giveaway from me who is from PA (not from other groups or my WL), I just gently remind them, especially if they thank me at the end of the giveaway with a reply that says something like "Please remember to play within 30 days because you won it through the Playing Appreciated group." This way if there's any question and the mods go to look at my giveaway, they will see it right away.
Comment has been collapsed.
You replied to the wrong person, I got the notification, not them :)
While it is very much appreciated we still double check everyone manually if they are in any of the other groups. A note/comment if they are on your wishlist or not on the other hand it is super handy (since we can not check that by ourselves) :)

Hi Nightxar, you are welcome to join by playing Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series. Let us know once you beat the game :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Its really cool idea, I would like to join as option 1 describes, I only enter in giveaways I am actually interested in, so pretty much I am sure that I have played all my winnings :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi insanity666, you actually have plenty of your wins that are still unplayed (don't have any achievements unlocked yet) so if you wanna join with option 1, please pick one of those games to play and let me know which one is it gonna be before you start playing it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Aghb4R, please read the "how to join" section on the post and let me know which option do you wanna join with.

Hello, MouseWithBeer. I was advised by NoSenses to contact another mod so I was wondering if you would take a look at my progress on this game. I was kicked from the group for not playing it sufficiently, but I have played it for 7 hours and the rules state I need only play it 5. See the discussion below for more details. Thank you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi, first of all someone else's application to join the group is not the proper place to contact another mod. Ther are plenty of other places.
I actually checked it out when it was still in the pending approval status and I couldn't really find any definite info how much achievement exactly you should have in 5 hours (I dont own or I have played the game myself). I believe NoSenses looked into it more than me and the rules so say you need achievements that at least 60% of the people got (according to the group website) so I do stand behind his decision. If you want I can take another look when I have time (I am at work right now).
Comment has been collapsed.
When I look at AStats I see that people with 4-6 more achievements than me have 18-40 hours of play. My achievements are probably slightly lower than others because I restarted my game a little ways in because I read a guide and realized I'd made my character all wrong.
so we took part of that time as idled
None was idled. I record all my games and so far for the game I have 7:01:03 of video (not including my first short run).
Does the 5 hour thing not override the minimum achievement thing? I feel like to reach that level of achievement I'd have to play at least 10 hours. It was like 2.5 hours of play before I got even a single achievement. Achievements in this game are incredibly slow to earn. I'm not really an achievement hunter.
Comment has been collapsed.
The rules state:
For games that are longer than 10 hours, playing it at least 5 hours would be sufficient (if you then still don't like the game, so be it and we won't make you play it any longer).
I would like to ask that my progress be reconsidered on the basis that I have played it at least 5 hours and the understanding that it is a sandbox game where you can spend multiple hours without necessarily earning achievements.

Good day! I would like to join the group via option 2, by creating a giveaway for the Wasteland 2: Director's Cut - Digital Deluxe Edition. Thank you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Meowderp, I saw you were not online since you were approved so I will give you 72 hours of time since now to make the promised giveaway in hopes you will come online and have enough time.
Comment has been collapsed.
No worries, real life comes first. Glad you managed to make a giveaway in time! Thank you for sharing with us :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I want to join, can I play this one?
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Su5Ps/suicide-guy-vr
I'd also like to create a GA for
Niche - a genetics survival game if that's ok
Comment has been collapsed.
It was public, I just unchecked game time recording. Sorry I'm kind of new, not sure if that's it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have a question about making a giveaway. I made a giveaway for BLACKHOLE: Complete Edition, but then I noticed it's for a Steam package that includes the game and some digital goodies, seen here.
I'm not sure if this is okay to giveaway. Is the Playing Appreciated tracker thing going to count the actual game playtime instead of the package or something?
Comment has been collapsed.
It is 100% ok to giveaway so don't worry about it. We havent had anyone give the complete edition out yet, but looking at the package I think it should just pick up the normal game as it did with people giving away the normal edition. And in case anything weird happens with it you can always let us know and it will get fixed :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh wow you are right, I am completely blind :D No worries at all :)

I took a look. You requested to join the group on June 18th but you didn't bother to actually comment here so it was rejected. I sent you a friend request so I can invite you to the group. But before I can actually invite you to the group you need to put your playtime on Steam public on your profile. If you need help doing that see the 2nd paragraph here. Once you do that and accept my friend request, please message me so I dont forget to invite you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry for the late response, I will just post here so it is noted down: invite has been sent and accepted already.
Welcome to the group!

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.
