The End of Steamgifts

The end clicky

This is news?

SG, now 99% more group giveaways.

How can that be a bad thing? People are more likely to win in group giveaways.

People tend to make threads over the smallest stuff

Stats.

Sad but true.

I can make out three of those as Steel Storm :x

I can see me at the top :)
(I'm not sure what the point of this thread is)

I get it. Groups can be a bit Elitist and exclusive. Seems to go against the idea of giving. That said, if that was not the case there would be a huge amount of winners that are just, well, Vacuums to the community. Those that take, and do not put back. Which is fine, but would slowly kill the community. Groups are a way of adding extra effort, to get those people that contribute, who have specific sub-communities that they want to give too. Though yes, more often than not, when looking at winners of gifts it primarily falls into the "I'm in a group, and I've won over a dozen gifts, and have given little to nothing out." To me, this can be kind of sad.

The system isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean it isn't the best system available. Its a balance that is fueled by the users. If you take away the groups, you may take away any emotional connection to giving and receiving. Isn't that what this site is about? Community. Groups directly feed into that. Community. The fact that this site is not rampant exploitation is nothing short of amazing. It has flaws, but is still a benefit and a generous contribution to the community. (Speaking as a person that has never won anything in a group)

I don't really mind, I'm more into SG just for fun. I honestly don't think I'd ever win anything but I've only been in Steam Gifts for about 1 or 2 weeks xD

and guys now think about why there are only groupgiveaways and private giveaways.

Just because of those stupid leachers...

LOL Like you would have better chances of winning if those would public giveaways.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......

Good thing I joined 40 groups.

I AM HERE TO WIN GAMES

I see it, I understand the OP's meaning, however..
This is a free service to get free games from people who -have- spent the money on it. It's hard for me to imagine ever getting upset when all the effort it takes to possibly win is clicking that mouse a few times. My advice is relax, man. Give your thanks when you should. And find better topics to talk about. I think I'm in a total of one group, and that's S.gifts on Steam. I still don't find any reason to complain about members of groups helping the other members.
All in all, though. Good day and good luck to all contestants.

PS: And as it's a lot easier to get invited if you -ask-, try letting others know you want in!
PPS: I want in!

Could care less, but like the new contributer giveaways as it helps those that give also get.

Because we are all slightly greedy :)

Let's ignore the hundreds and hundreds of public giveaways over the last week and focus on group giveaways coincidentally chain ending.

Note: Giveaways only pop up in this list when the giveaway is marked as Received.

Im just going to say that some privates are puzzles that if any newcomer would check the forum can get in on. Shameless plug for my giveaway here

You can't be serious... I see plenty of public giveaways too and I hope it stays this way!

where is the gigantic head of the dead girl in the red sea?

I sometimes throw out a private giveaway link in chat.

The End of Leeching. FTFY

JOIN ALL THE GROUPS!
