When was you last non-bundled giveaway, and how well did it go for you? Did you get as many entries as you'd hoped? Was the winner happy to receive his or her gift? Do you plan on creating another giveaway anytime soon?

I am hopeful that this thread will prove inspirational to those who are considering making a giveaway. It can be quite fun! D For myself, I am in the process of setting up some more giveaways, but haven't pulled the trigger, yet.

I hope the person ends up playing the game, because Dominions 3 is a darn fine game!

My last couple giveaways were spare bundle keys, but right before that:

3 wks ago I held two giveaways: (yes, I know these two are marked as bundle games, but I bought them on Steam for bulk giveaways)

one for 2 steam gifts of RooGoo with just over 900 entries and 3 steam gifts of 3SwitchD with just over 900 entries, all people were grateful and said thanks.

However, the last REAL marked giveaway ended a couple wks ago and was a special private one of Skyrim LE. It had 21 or 22 entries at one point but a few people withdrew because they had won a game while waiting (and the giveaway was intended for those who'd never won a game and had contributed to the site), so it ended with 18 entries. The winner was thrilled, obviously. XD

I do have many more bundled and non-bundled games waiting to be given away. I am just waiting on the right moment. My internet is acting up again >__< plus, I wanted to do a private puzzle giveaway like my most recent one a week ago, since folks had fun with that one. Just waiting on the right thread to appear to make the special link within and then wait and see who finds it, like last time. And then, in the last couple hours, make a puzzle thread to give small hints for folks to find my comment to enter :3

It was three days ago, I got 13 entries (which is pretty good for a chat giveaway), the winner thanked me so I hope he's happy, and the next GA will be today, in a few hours. Join the chat and you'll get to vote. :-)

7 months ago, and my last GA was 4 months ago. :s It was Two Tribes Pack (or Two Tribes BUNDLE :P). I expected more people to join. :P Maybe because it was during a big sale, people would rather spend their points in better games' GAs. I sent the gift through email, and the winner activated it, so I didn't talk to them, but I guess he was happy... Who isn't happy when they win a GA? And I've been wanting to make more GA, but it's not a good time. :s

Personally less than 24hrs ago, but on SG one week ago. I had over 50% of the members of the group enter so I was quite pleased. I will say though that for year I've straight up given away more games than made GAs.

Few days ago I suppose. Does this remove the 30$ max contributor value from bundle games?

Nope. All you get from bundle games is $30.

Not true. You get a portion of all bundled games value as CV, but it's capped by the value of non-bundled games.

I don't give bundle games. Waste of time and resource. Doesn't give you any CV in return.
Answer to your question, 5 days.

2 Months. The winner has only played for .2 hours, so I don't think he liked it...

It really sucks because there were 1200 entries.

About three months ago, and it was Final Fantasy 7. I think Fortix was the last bundled game that I gave away. I don't know, because I don't go looking for asterisks when making giveaways. And I'm pretty sure that the folks who win games from me appreciate it. Most of them, at least. And that's all that matters.

I'll be making another one soon enough, once I get to feeling better. I just don't know what it will be yet. Hopefully I get a Steam wallet card for my birthday. c:

Something like 90%+ of my giveaways are nonbundled. And a lot of the ones that are currently bundled, I gave away before the game actually appeared in a bundle.
