Good idea to have an option to set your own time limits on redeeming prizes that you post?

there are millions of reasons why users can't do that... if u can, good 4 u, but u're not everyone

The person entering would be able to see the time limit and redeem accordingly?

"How hard is it to check within a 24 hour period anyways? All you have to do is login once?"

How hard is it to give winners a week to redeem their game, so they can take their time to manage real life stuff, like jobs, family, friends, social life ?

"the person who posted giveaway can quickly do another."

As the amount of giveaways you can make is limited by the total number of received giveaways (correct me if I'm wrong), very few people making giveaways will encounter the problem of not being able to make more giveaways, and even if they do initially, it's only for a rather limited time.

Assuming they manage things like that, wouldn't they at least check their email once a day for messages not regarding Steamgifts?

Depends, really. Not everybody even has interet access all the time. As an example, I used to work on renaissance fairs during weekends as a student job - that's 4 days straight without Internet :)

If that were the case and you entered a giveaway knowing there was a 24 hour time limit to collect wouldn't that be your fault if you couldn't redeem?

To play games on Steam you have to connect to the internet.

This might surprise you, but people can survive for a couple of days without even using Steam.

Just an option, not everyone has to set it to minimum.

Just because it's optional doesn't mean it serves a purpose.

Yes, it would be my 'fault' in this case, but that's hardly the point -
why should a feature that has very little benefit (see above) but potentially inconveniences a lot of people be implemented ?

To make things more exciting, also more prize circulation.

There wouldn't be significantly more prize circulation. I also fail to see how having to rush to redeem a game you've won q1ualifies as 'exciting', really.

An option that is
a) unneccessary
b) inconvenient to the average user
c) prone to lead to a lot more work for support

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Nothing to resolve if not redeemed by the time limit posted.

Just say this option was enabled, Zoth would set it to maximum time limit allowed. Nothing wrong with that.

Option to set to 24 hours to 1 week. Not mandatory 24 hours. All up to person posting giveaway.

You keep repeating this over and over again. The mere fact that it's optional does not negate the disadvantages.

Please don't get butt hurt. It's just an option. Nothing is forcing you to minimize time limit from 1 week. ;)

... This shit's still here? The answer was no. No a thousand times. Because you're too mentally incompetent to get it, I'm going to quote ZothOmmog again.
