Creating giveaways for free games for 0 points

reserved just because

It has been asked before; I would like to see it happen but also not count as a giveaway at all for the creator, as in not a +1 gifts sent.

To be honest, the points could still be depending on the Steam price (or half of it), it would just be super great to have a way of getting those games from missed giveaways!

Here's what you are looking for:

yes, it should be added so no one suggest it any more.

There're many "YES" but only need one "NO"

Bumperino, why not?

I think it is a great idea to allow giveaways for games that have been free, but only if done in a way that does not add anything to the giveaway creators account. I think the ability to give away free games should just be used as a way to give them away in a fair way without having to drop the key in the community forum and let a ninja or bot take it.

I think when someone creates a giveaway for a free game, there should be a little warning message saying that this game has been free in the past and you will not receive any credit for giving it away. I think the giveaway creator should not receive any CV and they should also not receive an increase in the number of giveaways they created.

I realize this sounds harsh, but I feel this way because if you allow them to increase the number of giveaways they have created with free games, people will farm the free giveaways just to increase their number so it looks like they give more. This farming will cause the free giveaway promotions to run out of keys early and a lot of people that actually want the game will not be able to get a free copy for themselves. It would also cause the number of giveaways created shown in your profile to be fairly meaningless if people farm free keys to artificially inflate their numbers.

I think there should be no value won added to the winners account in any way. You can show the giveaway on both the creator and winners sent and won page for future reference, but with 0 CV and no increase in the number of giveaways sent or won.

I also think there should be a cost to enter so that people that actually want the games have a decent chance instead of having everyone that just wants to +1 their Steam account with a 0 point giveaway enter every one. I don't know what that cost should be, but I think 1 point is too low. I think any amount from half to full price sounds good.

I would love to see some Dark Souls, or ETS2 giveaways, but Digital Homicide games are "avoidable"

YES, i have a lot of unused keys that i could've give it away but unable to since the game is not available in SG.
It could be zero point for all that matters. I just wanted to use SG as a platform for the giveaway.
I've been searching for a giveaway tools on the net but most of them are rather unreliable or non user friendly so to speak even for gleam.
