Yes :P

Unrelated. Games don't solve death.

It's so sad if "your friend" will die without leeching games.

If poor man then obviously he would see the games for money to live

It's more like a filter to help prevent the abuse of the system. Otherwise people could go around creating fake accounts. If the limit were lower, also, it wouldn't be hard to bypass it by buying one indie bundle or two for 1 dollar. :P It's not that hard to get to $100 worth of games if you buy them on sale and through indie bundles really. Your friend just need a little patience. And if he were poor enough to starve, I doubt games would be his main concern right now.

let me say it again, you fail in regards to logic.
One of those things, food, is a base necessity for sustaining live. You can compare that with access to water, shelter, etc...

The other thing, games, is a luxury good, and as such, an incentive to not leech of the social services but actually go work and earn money. Distributing your money(including pocket money or small amounts of it) between different luxury goods is necessary because luxury goods are often not available in a amount to cover all demand.
So even though these games are digital, their perceived value is more comparable to the aston martin or bentley i would have in the garage of my house(rather than a old car parked in the street in front of my flat).
So in regards to basics(water, food etc..) everybody should have basic coverage, all true.
With luxury goods, access has to be limited in a way...as the supply is. The total amount of games submitted to steamgifts will not increase if expendable leecher-accounts can be registered en-masse, the amount of system abusers and pure leechers however, will.
I'd be all for allowing people to join the page with fewer games in their account...only then i would not allow them to enter giveaways with a value higher than the value of their confirmed public giveaways minus what they already won. would not really help his friend now would it?

Bah humbug!
