Or maybe not. Library size isn't the answer to stopping leechers, giveaway value is.

If more people give away stuff with a minimum requirement the leecher proportion goes down.

It really is that easy.

best way is to filter bundle games from current value of library should stop leecher meaning only nonbundle games are marked towards 100$ min on steamgifts

If it was lower people would just create multiple accounts and register.

im afraid i agree with this one.

i agree with you cuz i am one of these cases

As much as I agree with you, decreasing it would just maje matters worse

If that's giveaway website - why don't you like to give away much?

Very much agree.

+infinity Honestly some of these high and mighty people calling othes leechers aren't much better (due to how they get their stuff via price glitches and abusing region price differences)

For a site supposedly about giving away stuff, that mindset certainly sticks out like a sore thumb as it suggests it's more about flaunting one's wealth than any real kindness.

big words from a... leecher (there I said it)

We already have a problem with people with multiple accounts. No need to increase the risk. Also don't forget there are tons of phishers and bots who would love to be able to join the site and post spam links all over the place.

If you want to lower the minimum value, then can you give an idea on how to prevent this problem?

having participated in a very few giveaways > and losing quickly interest (stuffs thrown around anyway)

the more you have the rather you'd not partake, but make a giveaway yourself

the point of websites like this is to force people to give stuff so they can get other stuff that they want 100$ min is very easy to reach with couple crap bundle games can make 10 accounts with 5$

The main reason for minimum account value has nothing to do with leachers or not, but to help stop alt accounts..

I doubt really

Jesus christ people! People on this site are always complaining about other people not being thankful for they get. Well if you limit this site to people that are practically rich and are able to afford tossing $1000 at steam games than you're going to get even less thank yous than your getting now. A majority of the people who are truly thankful are the people who get the games that can't afford them.

Steamgauge puts my library at a little over $2000 but if you exclude all bundles and free (even some I got before they were such) I am most likely under $250 (probably right around 200 - IDK which ones might have been bundled after I got them).

wait a second... if your all games get bundled at one point, does cg kicks you outta here? :O

lol

+1 the bundles exclusion actually makes it hard because that game you bought 4 years ago for $60 doesn't count at all because it was bundled a week ago.

Gotta agree, although I think games that were in a bundle should add at least some value, especially since I'm sure many of us have purchased games that were later put in some bundle. Seems pretty stupid that all the many games I paid about $10 or more for, are worth $0 according to SG.

Another point is look at the info for the person that started this thread. Looks like all his giveaways, or attempted giveaways were from free giveaways through other sources. Then if it was increased to $200+, looking at his Steam library, he may not even be able to be here himself.

well, you wont find them here, as you need 100 dollars to join this site

Just add a AAA game on free wekend in your library!

Bingo!

Let everyone in

Yeah, lets open the floodgates for bots/phishers to come in, great idea sarcasm

Drama queen much?

I wasn't here 3 years ago but maybe the limit was different back then? Or maybe you had 6 games with high enough value?

3 years ago the limit was a mere 50$ which is easy with Humble Bundle Games

exactly

Actually, it's Steam that does. And since SG get this info from Steam...

So I've certainly spent my fair share of coinage on Steam.

Not the OP, but giveaway creators have the option to set a CV requirement, I don't see the point in making it a sitewide rule. Some people are fine with giving away unconditionally. Like someone else wrote, the account value rule is there to make sure fake accounts are locked out and I think it works just fine.

Problem is that if for instance there wouldnt be any limit, site would be flooded and there would be like 40 k entries for no cv giveaways and such, would make the site overloaded with spammers/beggars/etc. Just check out WishAGame steam group as to why its not a good idea to lower the entry conditions
Its hypocritical, yes, but I believe its still the lesser evil solution to keep things reasonable to a bare minimum

yet it requires 100$ steam library

The funny thing is, OP can't even enter those $30.01 giveaways. Specks, logs, eyes, etc.
