I'm not sure I feel like contributing anymore....

Welcome to the internet. Where everyone is anonymous and can be douches

i agree 100% u should want to play what you enter for and be grateful for people giving away games

Sadly you can't call out people. I would be funny to bash that asshole in the forums

I usually tell the winner of the giveaway to enjoy the shitty games I give them. :p

"Most people at least sent me a "thanks" reply"

"If everyone else is a rude leech"

As you said yourself, there are good people in this site. Its not because of 1 bad apple that it means everyone is like that.

also, you can always do giveaways for a group, with persons you know that are not rude leechs.

If they say the game is shitty, then don't give it to them. If they report you the SGifts mods will understand

Welcome to the internet of trolls

That's why most people stick to private and/or group giveaways.
EDIT: Sorry, not most. Just a lot.

Yep, this is bound to happen at some point. Higher contrib requirements, group giveaways for people you know are nice and decent human beings, and difficult puzzles to reward those who really want the game are some possible solutions, but of course aren't fool-proof either.

What did you expect from people...you didn't know there were assholes out there

Check their profile before you gift... then add them and talk to them a bit

Don't let a few jerks ruin it for you. If you feel like taking a break on giveaways then take one. Give it some time, and see if you change your mind.

I'm sorry you had to experience that. I'm one of the leeches (for now) but I'm a polite leech and I only enter for games I want to play. So not everyone is like that.

Maybe you'll have better luck with contributor only or private giveaways? For the record I'm grateful that you've kept yours public till now. That I know of. (Can you even see private giveaways in profiles if you're not a part of them?)

add me on steam

Private forum giveaways tend to fend-off most antipathic people. Public giveaways are really unpredictable.

For the record, Garshasp is kind of shitty. Mostly in the sense that it feels like it was never quite finished.

Still, pretty lame to say something like that about a game you're being given for free.

You are such a nice guy, thank you for sharing something good!
I think these games aren't shitty, but that loser is a real piece of sh*!

If that happen to me, I would ask for reroll. Sorry to hear that. The worst experiences gave me public giveaways but there were 3-4 group/private/chat only I made and the results were kinda disappointing too.

Don't quit just because some as$ said your gift is shitty! He's just 1 aS$. I know if I would ever win anything I would be so thankful I will stop raping the enter giveaway button all the time.

What a jerk! I really don't get why people would enter for a game they think is shitty :/

I understand your point, but.....this is the internet and a site for Free games so it will attract leeches and trolls in droves. Honestly its nice that anyone has said anything positive. Don't let people spoil your generosity, but if you really feel like its not worth the headache then best of luck to you.

and again... and again...
i get your point, but in 'real life' it isn't much more different. When you try to do something good for some stranger, you might get kicked in your b*lls for the things you didn't do like they wanted you to do, however you actually did something good and they should be thankful anyway...
I think that focusing on the bad moments to decide you'd stop gifting is just wrong... you said yourself you got more 'thanks' replies than you expected... then why not hold on to these?

I had a similar experience when I gave a key away on the forums. That comment alone (and a few other stories) made me step away from public giveaways. Now whenever I get the money I'm going to do group and private giveaways.

I know how you feel, but if contributing makes you feel happy keep doing it, just not to random people.

Don't let a single jerk to change your view on all the people. This guy who told you that... he is just a ill-mannered boy.
