I'm one of them. (I'm actually aiming for 4000 entries before my first win.)
Watch your estimated wins on your profile. When your estimated wins are equal to the number of actual wins +5, then you know you're unfortunate. Even with a 50/50 chance of winning, there is no guarantee that you will win. The only way to be 100% sure you will get a game is to: a) buy the game for yourself with your own money; or b) be the only entrant in the giveaway.

@honglong17 I hate people like you. You should be grateful that you even won a giveaway or there's even a giveaway that has 25,000 copies

Why hate him? He won, tried it, disliked it.
He could have bought it, tried it, disliked it.
Its not like you are going to know 100 percent you like a game until you try it....

I like these threads, they help me sleep knowing my estimate win is four and I've win 6!

thats nothing. besides your estimated wins are .2 so odds say you shouldn't have by now anyway(it'd take on average about 5 times this if your odds remain consistent(of course odds aren't cumulative so you could win the next thing you enter, you may not win until 2k more entries)).
(I've entered >1k without winning and feel pretty normal doing it.(my estimated wins are about 1.5 so a bit less lucky than average, but close enough))

This.
I stopped with all the big giveaways even if i really like the game. Everything what goes over 700-800 entries i leave, and it works! Won 2 great giveaways yesterday.

You gave away garrys Mod + CS S
thanks for that, but see? 2723 ppl entered. That means that each of them had a 0.04 % chance to win. This means (math ppl, pls don't hate me, i know that the following is not quite right):They need to enter 2500 of these giveaways.
So better enter forum giveaways, hidden giveaways, private giveaways, developer giveaways, group giveaways, contributer giveaways or anything but no public giveaways
PS: watch my wins...1 public, 2 group in which anyone had to contribute, 2 contrib, 3 hidden (private), 1 forum contrib, 2 devs.
just 1 out of 11 is a public win...

Just leave if you're going to give up then. Less whiners for us.

Keep entering and there is a low chance you might win, It's random.

I have entered 128 giveaways now and haven't won 1 yet...
Is the winning chance really that hard?
