A very disappointing result of gifting

I won King Arthur not long ago and just haven't gotten around to playing it yet, but I really want to. I have a busy schedule so it will just take a while to have 3+ hours to really get down into it. Also, it's a large game, and I don't always have space on my computer. YKNOW?

Yeah it stinks, but I can't say that I'm not guilty as well. I've only played 15 or so minutes of The Ship and I've still yet to start ARES, but I blame most of that on the fact I have over 10 games to play due to Steam sale, haven't gotten to Just Cause 2, Dead Space 2, and quite a few other games yet as a result.

you ever thought that people might have other things to attend to? maybe they will play it in a month or even later? make contributor giveaways if you want more honest people in.

Well, acording your way of thinking, I am buying games I dont want, because I have not yet played them

Dwarfs!?

0.7 hours on record.

Yeah, I'd say I got the same result.

PLAY THAT GAME BRO! I would've redeemed it myself and played it if I didn't decide to screw over your minds! D: I like that game. :P

Ya i hate it so much! Theyre just stealing your chance to won game u want.
Then they win and trade it or sell... Its so retarded (no offense to disabled people)

Don't forget kids:
The more games you have,
The bigger your penis is!

If they add the games to their account, they will probably play it sometimes.

Same here. :(

I gave away only 2 games and saw what you say, I had more giveaways planned, but i thought it was pointless

I didnt played some games i won too...i have a huge backlog and cant play every game i win in no time...i won ghost recon future soldier and only played a hour or so(ok, its really not good and im lazy, dont want to plug out my xbox pad to play :D)...or Assassins Creed 2, that i will play when i played ac1 again...same for fear 3, need to play fear 2 before(the first one i played enough times :D)....some other games i never played too...

I will play this games in near future, when i have time :D ...

You waited just a month? I have a game I won over 6 months ago that I still haven't gotten around to. And it could easily be another 6 months before I get to it.

I intend to play all the games I won, but I have no time limit set. That would be silly.

I won 3 games, but I have too many other games to play, I haven't touched Nexuiz yet, but it doesn't mean I won't ever play it.

I don't understand your point of view. So if people aren't playing your game 100 hours/2 weeks - then there is something wrong?

Do you want to make someone happy? Person got a game - person is happy. He or she can play it later.

You want to make happy yourself. You want to control others - play my game or you are (put the text in). Don't push the others. You aren't their master btw.

I won EYE Divine Cybermancy a while ago. I haven't played it yet - i want to complete some other games and then switch to EYE. Is it wrong? Other people can be busy, on the holydays, away from their computers for some reasons, can be ill, can feel themselves to make some other things before playing their won game.

You guys have some serious disorder about the definition of giving, sharing and generosity.

As above said: If people added their won game to their library - they will play it anyway. And remember that you made them happy :)

So wait, you guys rather the winner start the game, play it for a minute or so then to play it lets say 3-4 months later and beat it? I have won games that I have not yet opened, I will get to them, I rather focus on a couple games at a time and beat them then to play 50+ games for 5 mins each. I only enter ones I want to play...doesn't mean I want to play them over all the games I am half way through.

Also stop stalking people, its creepy, check if they added the game and thats it, kinda nutty to keep checking back to see if they played it...I have no clue if the people who won my games played them , nor do I care even a little.

I won Stranger's Wrath a few months ago but I am still waiting for the devs to update it and patch the HD version in. As of right now the game is laggy and has some bugs. That's why after trying the game out and reading on the forums that "a patch was coming" I decided to wait.

I am thankful I won the game but I just wanna get the most out of it.

But yeah I understand your pain. Once I was complaining about my Steam freezing when I tried to enter one of those random keys people give away on the forum. I was sad because I "could" have won the game. Some guy added me and offered me SMNC invites for free just to be nice, I declined because I didn't really like the first MNC but I decided to give him a Witcher copy I got on xmass just because he was nice to me and he said he was interested in the game.

Months later, if I check his profile he hasn't even installed the game :/ I had other games by that time so I wasn't gonna play The Witcher myself but if I knew this would happen I would have kept the gift for myself and played it later.

Damn I type too much, and no one cares about the story.

I won 11 games in the 3 weeks that i'm here. You think i could have played all of them as soon as i got them? With the Summer Sale being around at the same time?

Eventually i will play these games, but because I WON them, I get to decide when that is, i don't care when or even if the people that won my giveaways are actually going to play them, that's none of my concerns, it's their free time, their decision.

People buy games that they play months or years later, if they do it at all. Why should the games that were won be different?

Just belive me. bigtomas1, barash, rad1game, JWall and bon3s are gratefull that you made this giveaways and they won these games. What did they said when you added them in steam? I bet that was something like: Wow, thank you MidnightRave! That's awesome!" ^_^

At least they didn't trade it... that happend to one of my gifts the guy is banned but it feels bad when someone do that.

It's not that, maybe the winners are already playing other games and don't want to take a break from them so they don't forget the story. That's what I do, I never play more than 2 or 3 games cause I can't concentrate enough on the different stories, I like to enjoy them one at a time. When I played more than 2 or 3 games I just got so frustrated and anxious that I stopped playing them all, this happened to me on the first summer sales.

The number of games on their steam profile makes them poop all over.

Life tends to get in the way. And you might already have a massive backlog of games that you want to get out of the way instead of playing new ones.

You know, I didn't even check how many players actually played games I gifted until now. I am not giving anything else here D:<

My game backlog has gone up to 57 games and they will take a year minimum to get through.
