Offer a free game, be called a thief.

I need to learn more languages.

I'm really sorry to hear about that. The fact that the person was skeptical about getting free stuff can be understandable due to the user being new on Steam... However, saying that a game is crappy after being given to for absolutely nothing, that's a fucking huge jackass move. I'm just glad that you aren't letting it get to you too much...

I once was messaged by a user about how they had invited a bunch of their friends to my group and that he was wondering if I would give him a free game for his "work". Obviously, I told him that I didn't usually do that, but that I would make an exception.
I showed him a list of games I could give him from TremorGames.
Almost immediately, he said "could you give me a TF2 key?"
I said that no, I wouldn't give him a TF2 key.
"Okay, then CS:GO"
No.
"Gmod?"
...Do you think he understands the meaning of "no"? Better get a translator to help us communicate Beggar -> English. Finally, he picks a game, so I tell him to message me some other day to claim the game (I had to wait until tremorGames sent it)... at this point, any and all motivation I had had left me, and I didn't really care to give the game to the person... However, I wasn't about to break my "promise". When I say something, I usually intend to honor it.

Luckily, the days passed and the person never messaged me again. Either they forgot, or they didn't care enough to claim the game.
I ended up creating a giveaway for the game here on Steamgifts. Good ending unlocked, +1000 XP.

Hey, I am really sorry to hear what happened :-( I hope you'll be ok with "Hey, I lived up to my own personal standards of offering friendship but it wasn't well-received. Their loss not mine."

Seriously, not everyone in this world is gonna be best buds with us - we can only attempt to bridge a "virtual" gap... some will cross it and become strong bonds. Others? Not so much... it's just life as we know it, right?

Lastly, have some virtual Momo hugs {{{hugs}}] wonders what fresh new hell/formatting issues those parens will cause!

Ah, another member for my whitelist. Welcome aboard, m8. Cheers \m/

Sorry to hear that. His lack of understanding and compounded with the fear of getting hijacked resulted in this incident, as far as I can see.

I appreciate your awesomeness

To be honest mate, you're better off without him

life...

Yeah, I can get the point where people are wary of free stuff. Especially on the internet.
But complaining after you get something for free is ... always kind of weird, unless it's clearly meant as a joke.

Still respect for not just giving up!

It's unfortunate that he jumped the gun but I can understand his concern about attempting to steal his account. I get those almost daily. Complaining about the games though? That was pretty asinine of him. Sorry that you had to go through that.

Being a guy with a good heart, I had to immediately add you to my whitelist :) I'm sorry about the guy though, he's just a major dummy.

I feel you. I gave this guy CSGO and then he messages me back saying, "this game sucks."

D'aww, that was terrible of him to behave like that.
Ask yourself, 'what would Batman do?'

Well people did really have some trust issues
But just ignore him
He's not only have some trust issues but also "can't say thank you very much" issues
(Ignore the image's subs xD)

Solamente trataste de que el se sintiera bienvenido en la comunidad, no tienes por que sentirte mal...

Trust no one.

Thank y'all for your kind words and cuties. There's hope left in the world :)

You are a kind person. He is a douche. Hopefully karma or something, will set the balance in your favor.

and he basically accused me of being "one of those guys" who was trying to steal his account, and unfriended me.

you cant blame yourself for that. some people really have no idea how to differentiate a phishing link from a legit link and they go paranoid that they'll lose their account.
the action was also fishy for him, since youre a random guy that added him to give him a free game.

"well, those games aren't very good after all, are they?"

that's funny. its that type of guy who doesnt buy any games, dislikes indie games, and plays only AAA 60 euros games. shouldn't have given him anything.

not every human is capable of thinking straight .

Given the huge number of steam scammers who love sending phishing links I "kinda" don't blame him for the behavior.

Edit: But after receiving the games, no matter how "shitty" they are, they are still games and he shouldn't have acted that way after finally getting them.

Welcome to the real world. People can be terrible but at least we got nice people like you LucasKane that help make it better.

Dont be sad, it's because people steal a lot of shit from each other lately on steam, not his fault as well as not your fault

In conclusion:

• he

  1. Go 2 or 3 free games
  2. Got on your small private group
  3. Was shitting on admin
  4. Got a new games_seed - friend

• you:

  1. Lost 2 or 3 games
  2. Got suspended by steam (probably - he could report you)
  3. Got sad.
  4. Felt obligated to explain everything
  5. Needed to say SORRY to qsshole
  6. Still feel sadness .
  7. Maybe even a sorrow.
  8. Got a new leecher-friend

Duck him!!
