Have you played the games you've won?

I don't enter for games I don't want to play. But.. backlog and being busy keeps me from always getting around to them in a timly manner.

I won 3 games , and i played ALOT of 2 of them .
The 3rd 1 is in the w8ing list , cause i got couple games i really wanted to play recently ... and couple more today :)

But yeah , i only enter for stuff from my wishlist anyway , so i play / will play If by some miracle i win something else :)

Tho most of times when i check a GA of a game i really wanted... some guy with 3 thousand 17 million and 96 game won in :x

I am actually plan to play games I win,that means I am not entering giveaways for +1game count or cards.

I couldn't even play the games I bought yet.For example I started playing tomb raider which I bought a year ago.And I still didn't played most of my wins.Every summer I hope I could finish it but no.

Steamdb says I didn't played 73% of my games(Sh*t)
I could try to finish them,or I could run couple of miles :)

View attached image.

I only enter for games I'm really interested in. Yet I don't manage to play them. Especially the last couple of games. I just have not enough time to play all the cool games that go on sale, are in bundles or I win here. So it's not only the games I won here, but also the ones I actually payed for. And I don't spend any money on games I'm not interested in. I should actually stop buying games until I have played everything that is in my inventory.

I try to but backlog, plus everytime II try to game, people around me (family) give me shit for doing it, so I play games veeeeery slowly.

Some. I have huge backlog. But I only enter those I want to play/try out.

All the unplayed games I won here are now on my "To Do" category of my library.

I feel like it is a duty towards the others who entered the giveaway and didn't win, because it would be a waste if I don't play them;
I feel like it's the same concept of regifting: why did you enter if you didn't want the game at the first place?
Leave it to who could like it, am I right?

On the other hand I'm also a collector, so I enter most of the giveaways I can.
: P

Needed a sixth option for, "Ack, my hard drive is full!"

I have no respect for people who only enter GA's for the sake of winning, rather than entering GA's for games they actually want.
I'm sure those who do that are relatively few though :)

I try to play and finish every game I get, sadly enough it's not that easy given how much time I spend in classes and studying, too many great games to play, too little time :(

I try but my harddrive is pretty full at the moment so I need to get through some of the stuff I have installed first

The problem IS.....i've never won one

I'll leave it to my grandchildren

I tried to blacklist all giveaways for games that I won't play if I win, but damn, that's too many.

I'm not so lucky so only won one, which was dont starve and since it was pretty hyped when it first came out, ofcourse I had to check it out :3

I've only won one game but I haven't played it yet. This is mainly due to backlog and not having a lot of free time but a friend is going to give me a backup so I will hopefully play it soon.

Aha, you noticed... After their first few wins, when the excitement of actually winning a game has worn off, many people around here stop even installing them. Oh, if a game has trading cards they will "play" with idle master, maybe that counts...

I remember being shocked to see someone with several achievements in all their wins, i.e. they actually wanted those games, and installed them, and played them! Shocking because it's so unusual. I suggest not giving away any games you love, or you'll just feel bad when you check the winner's playtime next year. :)

It's discouraging when you notice someone who's won dozens or hundreds of games, and never installed a single one. And yes, there are people like that around here. They may feel bad someone's noticed, but they don't even pretend to feel bad for doing it... Pure greed...

I guess we shouldn't be surprised, when so many people are using a script to enter the giveaways. They don't even know what games they are trying for, it's all done automaically, with a fake "thanks!" comment too. Why should we be surprised when they don't play a win - they didn't even want it.

I think at some point most people stop trying to win everything, and just try for things they'd play. A lot of people stop entering giveaways entirely. Good luck with the backlog! :)

I make a focused effort to play them, though I've had a few where I only ended up playing for an hour or so... =/ and felt rather bad about having won a game that I 'thought' I would like, but really... really didn't. That has only happened twice though.

I try to play what I win, but I admit some of the games I've won have been just sitting in my library. Not because I'm not interested in them, but because I never found the time to play them... yet!

But one day, eventually, I will play every single game I own! I swear it! :D

Yes, of course.

(What's backlog?)

Few days back won my first game. I'll play it after I finish Binding of Isaac's Platinum God achievement because for some reason, when I stop playing game for few days and play another one, I don't want to get back to old one.

I'll be honest, I do have a huge backlog, but most of the games are ones from bundles. There are a bunch of newer AAA games that I still have yet to play, though, but I'm definitely going to be playing them. I like to leave a lot of the bigger games to play later on.

As for playing what I win, I have played, or been playing, most of them. Some games, like Alien: Isolation, I'm saving until I get through another AAA game or two that I have installed, to save myself from having too many bigger games to try and get through at one time.

I try to play every game I won but it's difficult.

It's actually fun to try out games you'd normally not play/buy.

But there's also the tons of bundle games, and sales, and life tells me not to.

I have no time even for games that I bought so... I played only few of them.
