Ugh... this has bothered me since I joined this site. Why can't I just click an "Enter Giveaway" button next to each giveaway on the list on home? Why must I have to click on every single different page for each and every giveaway I want to enter -- seriously! Maybe I'm just really lazy, but when I want to enter like ten different giveaways while browsing through the list of them, I just want to not have to spend an unreasonable amount of time just entering in them. A simple button next to each giveaway on the home is all I ask.

Please don't do this. Please actually say something useful about the game or giveaway and just not spam thank you.

Or the giveaway could have twelve seconds remaining, but painfully slow internet causes me to miss my chance.

If your internet was that slow, then having the button on the home page wouldn't help you. It'd still have to process the entry

But it wouldn't have to load the page for the individual giveaway first, so it might actually make the difference in that scenario.

People might actually have put something they want you to read in the giveaway description, perhaps? There could even be some vital information there, which will invalidate your entry if ignored.

Maybe there are some interesting discussions in the giveaway thread?

You may even, God forbid, wish to show a little gratitude to the giver for the opportunity to win a game they paid their hard earned cash to provide?

If you think the time it takes to enter [or perhaps, more appropriately, leech] a giveaway is "unreasonable", why not do everyone a favour and employ your oh-so-precious time and effort on some other more efficient website or activity?

I made a giveaway for Fortix and an other private.
The private was linked from public and some forum post. Ratio between these two 1:10 entries...

Show gratitude? Hell man what you're talking about? He is surely PAYING to be here and be part of these giveaways!

Could use steamgifts plus or whatever it's called, helps a bit with that.

Because this is a website about a community of people giving gifts, not just a free game dispenser. Going to the giveaway page allows you to see what the gifter has to say in his description, along with reply to or thanking them if you feel so inclined.

at the risk of ridicule, you're the kind of sg user i really dislike. you take giveaways here not as a nice gesture but as a right, as if theres some soulless machine dispensing 'free shit thats yours for the taking', and not an actual person who doesnt HAVE to, but chose to, give something away to people.

..and you bitch and moan that there isn't a quicker way to bypass even the tiniest acknowledgement of those people.

you've given something away, which is why im being more polite than id like to, but it still doesnt excuse your attitude to the site and its gifters.

I think you just answered your own question. Also, what's an unreasonable amount of time? I can enter 10 giveaways in 25 seconds. What can you do in the extra 20-30 seconds you would save? While making this thread you could have entered more giveaways. You need better time management it seems.

What, you type in all giveaways saying thanks? If you think , you're only thanking some 1 because they're giving "the game you want" , not cause they're actually "giving something" , cause in ure prespective every single giveaway would deserve a apreciation...
For example this humble waves, you gona thank em for giving something they dont want ? Ofc there's ppl who actualy kindly put some effort into it, but most of it it isnt, simple as that...

I only enter the giveaways of the games I want. Why would I enter for something I don't want? I don't need 100s of games in my steam library. My real peen is big enough where I don't have to worry about my e-peen.

Fuck it why not just an auto enter ability to every giveaway either on your wishlist or with a certain CV requirement?

That would be pretty awesome, maybe limited to two entries at a time though.

As I've said before, there should also be a script to get the games that users win to play themselves. That would be the ultimate time-saver.

Just use the "SGS bot" to automatically enter multiple giveaway instantaneously from multiple fake steam accounts and rig it to win every single time, you lazy sod. So many free games, so little time... :)
