Do you read descriptions in giveaways

Always. No exception.

I read them every time. There could be some important info like some weird region restrictions or hidden gibs. :3

To be honest, if I read a description depends on when I visit SG. Quick point spending at the final visit of the day, usually doesn't involve lots of reading. ;)
But the more I'm interested in a game, the more likely it is that I'll read it.

I read every single description of every giveaway I enter. It's just common courtesy.

You should always read it. One time i saw a give away that included a game that needed a VR. I don't think anyone read that

Yes, I do. Also, thank you for giving away Daedalic Entertainment games. I already have these games and also almost all of their games, but I still wanted to thank you. ;P

I do, but most of the people who will answer you on forums do so as well so your poll will be biased. Why? Because most people who bother visiting forums are more or less invested in community, looking for interactions with other members and so on. These people are willing to read countless forum gibberish, so a GA description is no problem. But if you look at it realistically - how many people do visit forums? Maybe 2-3k if we are optimistic. At most a few hundreds of actual regulars. And then you have tens of thousands of people who don't really care and just want a chance for free stuff. They will mostly not read GA descriptions at all and thery are in much bigger numbers ;)

Not to mention the bots ;)

I always read them, although if I'm too tired it's possible that what I read won't register with my brain

read the description? I don't even read the name of the game.

Read-the-description-bump!

I almost always read the descriptions, unless they are in a foreign languages or contain to many links to social media etc.

I always read them provided I understand the language for GA details, hidden GA and gifs =^.^=

No way. I don't want to be privy to someone else's propaganda :P
Just jokes, of course i do.

Very important to read them. Some people use bots and stuff I think, which I really am opposed to... I've found amazing groups, secret links, and other tidbits in giveaways. It's great to read what all they have to say anyway... some interesting reads, and a few I wish I hadn't read ... haha!

Even worse for me... people that I have to do rerolls for because they own dlc, and don't check. I make level 5+ or 6+ and still get this. It's pretty crazy! You'd think they'd know by that point, but hey... not everyone takes time out to do those sorts of things, plus there's the hide button beside the game if you wanted to remove it from your shown lists....

If somebody is giving something away for free, the least I could do is read what they have to say, if anything. At least scan over it briefly if it's short, and kind of the average sort of generic good luck, or leave a thank you if you win, but no comment necessary, etc.

That's my take. Some people who are AMAZING gifters in the community will blacklist people that do not comply with whatever they ask in the description. Won't bring up any names, but there's one in particular that kind of got me more into the spirit of reading them. Thanks to him, if he reads this! :D

Yes, I read the descriptions. I try to answer any questions that are posed also, unless they don't really apply to me.
However, I've noticed that I may sometimes glaze over the text if I am tired or bored, and not actually register what it says.

Yep, always read them, it seems the obvious thing to do. Spending a couple seconds on reading the thoughts of someone who is generous and giving you the chance at a game, really isn't much of a sacrifice. And also that way you won't miss out on whatever potential information the author could be sharing and will be less likely to run into nasty surprises, and of course there's the odd hidden goodie here and there =)

I always read them in case they lead to other giveaways, but I think I discovered a new way of dealing with bots thanks to you lol.

Yeah I usually read em. It is rare to see a link in them though. Or I just ain't interested in games that have such. :P

yes and if the giveaway has images, i will open it too :3

I always read the description and if it's interesting enough, I also reply. :D Everyone should do it.

I always read them, I find descriptions either just make someone seem like a nice person behind the giveaway, or there's information there that's important.

I used to enter every game I saw even if I didn't want it but I stopped after I won a game that I will never play and I felt bad because someone else could've won it and really enjoyed it. I didn't read descriptions back then and I really missed out, so I don't do that anymore.

I enjoy reading descriptions so much, that I won't even enter a giveaway if there's nothing written there.
Yeah, I'm totally serious about that!

It would be interesingto known how many people enter through those autojoin scripts or do it the robot way manually (just enter everything until they run out of points), because I always thought they were a tiny minority but lately my impression is changing quite fast :(

Bump for sometimes missing public descriptions.

Yeah, I read them most of the times since I don't enter that many GAs anyway. Like people have said before me, they could contain important information. Though I sometimes overlook them by mistake (since many GAs don't include a description).

yep. you never know what kind of stuff the GA creator might add in there like extra links or important info, plus... you're entering a GA for free, at least you could take 3-4 secs to read the descriptions, most times they are fairly short as well
