You know what makes me mad.

What makes me mad is when i like a game and someone says it sucks @>@>@>@ rage mode ( JK )

Ah yeah, that's sad. If I enter in a giveaway, it's because I want to play the games!

I won Dungeon Defenders from a random giveaway on the Steam forums, and haven't touched it hardly at all. I entered for the other game being given away, and feel like a total douche for getting this one. LOL

I think 2 of the 3 people that have won my giveaways haven't even played the game. It's a shame really.

What makes me mad is when my owlet is not moist.

Oh, I've just checked the three games I gave away. Maybe I shouldn't have done it, --, --, 1.7 hours. But still, I hope they'll be played at least some day in the future. :-) I'm a fan of old games, so I believe you can have great fun even with a game that has spent the last ten years hidden in your library. (Hmm, I think it might be time to re-play The Gates of Skeldal (1998) once more... But I have to play the games I won, first. I don't want to make anyone mad. :-))

Maybe they will play it, but don't currently have the time to do so?

HULK SMASH!!! I've won portal and havent even played it yet. Waiting til my new computer is build first.

I know what you mean. It really is annoying. Only one person out of four played the game I gave them, but only for 0.4 hours. And the first guy didn't even redeem the DLC!

I always play the games that are gifted to me ... ALWAYS!
Until I finish them XD ... at least the bigges part of them XD

I gave away HIB1 (which imo is the best HIB) and the person who I gave the games to played it for like 20 min in a week. I unfriended out of disgust :(

Hey, have you played every game you own?

Also, not everybody has 113 hours every 2 weeks for video games.

Just checked, OP won Portal two months ago...only has 30 minutes on it.

This guy gifted me Half Life 2 and Episode 1 a couple months ago, and I feel so bad for not playing it, but I really want to wait until I have Half Life, so I know what's going on and such. :(

Out of my 100+ games in my steam acct. The games I really play are like "20" or less lol. And seeing these days we have some big titles out like Skyrim or MW3 or BF3. I really can't blame them to pushed back our giveaway to play later. And some game are just not your taste after you tried it. I just bought Saint Row: The Third cuz it looks cool and have some positive comment. I tried to enjoy the game for about 5 hours or so and decided I'm not the guy to play it and go back to Skyrim :P

this wouldn't happen if the site didn't give so many points

Your basing the entire thread on the assumption that the person you gifted hasn't played it at all. Not everyone digs having steam in constant online mode tracking usage statistics. I update my games once a month or so, but beyond that I leave steam in offline mode because its a pain in the arse when there is an update to tf2 or one of my other games twice a week.

Also, people enter a giveaway because its just that, its an opportunity to get something for free. Just because someone wants a game doesn't mean that they dont have the willpower to hold off playing a game they might have wanted for a year so that they can focus on school or work.

• My 2 cents anyway.

tl:dr
Calm down, shit happens.

Many people actually pay for games and then don't play them for a while, maybe never.

Though, a good solution to the OP's problem is to only gift games that are totally awesome :D

I will only enter raffles on games I want, most people just blindly enter raffles to get as many free games as they can, I just want games I think I will play alot.

I won Portal 2 quite a while back, and only got to start playing it this week. I was on an out of town trip for work that kept getting extended, and my laptop couldn't handle the game at all. I felt pretty bad that I won it once my trip was extended.

Someone cant play because of study and\or work. My friend gifted me Limbo, but i cant play now because of upcoming exams -.- I think there are always reasons not to play the game right after you get it.

Well I have a backlog that is pretty long. Unless I win a game I want to play right now, it goes on the bottom of that list.

Lol OP is such a hypocrite. He won Portal in a giveaway a month ago and has only played it for 18 minutes.
