If a game is being given away with a lot of DLC, and I already have the game, but do not have some or all of the DLC, can I still enter the giveaway?

they don't have to specify, they can request a reroll without posting in the description that you can't enter if you own any of a collection

I have one of the games from a bundle that has been put up for a giveaway, can I still enter it?

  • Only with the express permission of the person doing the giveaway, as it is so wasteful to have the duplicate simply disappear into the aether. If the giveaway description says you can, you can, but otherwise assume no and if you are feeling bold, ask the giveaway creator to mention their feelings in that regard in the description section.

Do creators actually read the comments section of their giveaways?

Do you read the responses to your threads on forums?

Yes, but I've never read any of the comments when I make giveaways.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Also given the fact that comments in giveaways don't show up under your replies, they would have to think to go into their giveaway to see any of that. Many people don't.

Some do, some don't. Mainly due to the fact that replies from giveaways don't show up when you click on "View replies"

Some do. I read all the comments in my giveaways.

Reminds me of a question I've always wondered... How do you check if someone owns DLC or not? The site doesn't seem to prevent me from entering for DLC I already own, and also by default lets me enter for GotY-style games even if I own that release myself.

If the creator doesn't specify his/her intention I usually enter but with the thank you message I add a note that if for him/her is not ok, he can reroll. (he can reroll anyway, but I prefer to tell him anyway)
