I remember the SteamGifts user-made rule that one could not buy Fortix and could only win it in a giveaway. When I finally did, I completed the game on a single playthrough and then gave away 5 copies of Fortix myself :)
Ah, those were the times...
And have a happy cake day. I fought hard for years to at least get a digital-only western Yakuza 5 release. Look at the series now. Some things do change for the better :)

Oh man! I'm blacklisted? Was it because I reminded you it was your cakeday? 😭

Nah, not because of that ;)
Before you ask: I don't discuss blacklists in the forums. Sorry :-/

While my account may be as old as you, I've only really been active on SG for the past year or so. In that time I've met some really nice people, won some great games, and gave away lots of games that I hope made people happy. I only ever look at my Wishlist and Recommended lists, which is an easy way to hide all the shovelware you speak of.
Hopefully you can find that spark and joy on SG again. :)
And thank you for the giveaway! :)

well, that's just unfair, there is nothing wrong with public GAs. I just did a few recently, hell.. the years i've been here, i have never had problems with public.
besides, there needs to be level 0-1 GAs. see if this site gets a few more active users

Edit: I am not in a bad mood, I am really not :D I even bought Yakuza 0 as a giveaway to celebrate my half decade :)
So, today is my 5th cakeday. I registered on this site on August 15th, 2013. 5 years ago. Time flies.
At first, i was totally overwhelmed and it did take some time to figure out how this site works. I had way less money then, didn't know about bundles and it took really long to climb the ranks. Leveling up felt like an achievment.
Oh boy, how did that all change!
Now I am earning a decent wage, am an expert deal and bundle hunter, my library exploded and collecting games has become a habit. A kinda meta-game in itself.
Leveling up means nothing anymore because there are hardly any games left for me to enter.
My experience with SG in those years? Well.. Meh. The site changed. Shovelware or however you want to call it floods the site. It's logical, because in this SG is a mirror of the current state of PC gaming in general and Steam in particular.
Quality of SG users has also declined. There are still a lot of jewels around but it is harder to find them in the puddle of mudd. There, I said it. And this saddens me. Anyone still around who still remembers the OddLama and his giving sprees?
Well, here is an obligatory giveaway which is very likely to end up in the hands of a leecher with many not activated games who only does region locked giveaways, can't say Thank you and will insult me when I don't send the key within minutes after his win and who will resell the key and claim I never send it.
Public giveaways nowadays. Only for masochistic people.
Edit:
SG community never ceases to amaze me, not even on my cakeday ;) (Pictured comment was posted on my Steam profile mere minutes after this thread went live. Must be an alt account)
Edit:
I wanted to give feedback if the winner was of the category I cynically described, but I can't give this feedback without calling him out, sooo...
Edit:
Unfortunately I had to delete the giveaway :( I bought the key from Voidu and the store page didn't mention a region lock because I bought the key with a european IP-address. But if you visit the page from outside of the EU, you get a warning regarding region lock. Which I could not see. Duh. So my key is EU only and I only found out about this after the original and the re-rolled winner both could not activate the key :(
Edit:
Here is a new giveaway for all your troubles with the old one, this time it should really be a ROW version.
