...giveaways, and just plainly refuse to buy?

I mean, I've entered in countless giveaways for Nuclear Throne. The game isn't even expensive, in fact it gets dirt cheap during sales.
But I just refuse to buy it, I'm adamant about winning it.

Am I the only one?

Yes.
No.
Never thought about it.
What is this?

Witcher 3. I am absolutely interested, so I've entered every GA I've found...but I'm not quite interested enough to spend $20 to buy it.

Last few months it has been Stardew Valley, which I almost got during the Winter Sale (but opted for Rocket League + 3-4 smaller games instead). Project Highrise also looks amazing and SG has been flooded with giveaways, yet I've lost...I swear at least 60-70 of them recently, including a few that had 20-30 entries in total. Bad bad luck with that one haha

Well. I had similar problem with Nuclear Throne - near 200 entries but in the end some nice friendly folk decided to shorten my suffering so... There is hope in the end of the tunel. There is. Yes.
I also didnt want to buy Mordor game but i've given up on trying when price bug happened. Yes.

That would be Borderlands 2 Game of the Year edition. This game just doesn't want to drop with the price largely enough. Ironically I come to Steamgifts chasing three games, got many others instead :D.

Several actually. Some games I won't buy unless there's a good discount, while some other games seem interesting, but I'm hesitating to buy them based on their reviews.

The Deadly Tower of Monsters.

I am sadly waiting on that.

a lot. mostly games that haven't seen a good sale price yet or games i don't consider worth actually buying. either because they are most likely going to be totally shit or because i'm in no hurry to try them out.

the recent humble monthly had a lot of these games. ofc i didn't manage to win shit.

I entered for Overture 278 times before I finally won it. There is still hope!

Mostly old Humble Bundle stuff, though other bundles have exacerbated the issue.

Mirror's Edge, Medal of Honor, and Crysis 2 are the immediate ones to come to mind, but also most of the Deus Ex games.

I just can't pay $5 per game when they've been sold all together for $1.

I think, there are only 2 games in steam I really would love to play (atm): Xcom2 and Vampire: the Masquarade — Bloodlines. Not very common games to win here, i know :)

Currently Dracula: The Resurrection, I have episodes 2-5, just need the first one to start playing the series!

I've had a number of games like this over the last 18 months but slowly but surely I seem to win them eventually, but this one is proving elusive!
