Most people who enter developer giveaways if not ALL giveaways have a high chance of not even playing the game, people just keep entering the first giveaway they see to brag to people about their massive number of steam games and pretend to have bought them, if you're one of those people please just stop entering random giveaways, especially developer ones. Give the ones who actually WANT the game a chance because I've met plenty of people who just win games for absolutely no reason other than bragging. Post on whether you agree or not, it would help.

EDIT: You can also post your feelings about your actions since people seem more interested in doing that XD

EDIT: If you're discussing about the games you BOUGHT and never played then that's simply your own wallet problem and I'd advise just saving up for when something interesting gets released, but feel free to post anyways to make this topic more lively :P

EDIT: Try to be at least a little mature with your posts, I'm getting bored of reading stupid posts like "UMAD?" or "dude deal with it" leave that for when you're at school enjoying your youth with friends.

EDIT: Too much complaining about the "people don't play games right away they play them later" this post is about the people who NEVER play the games or just go and re-gift them for the sake of contribution values. And yea I am SORT OF getting carried away with the edits...

is one of those games that you play 10 or 15 minutes while you are waiting for another game to download or something... probably fun for a while, what is the damn problem?

yes, this is the reason because no one need it, winner will play this only some minutes =S. less than 1% will enjoy the game.

I think that at least for developer giveaways the developers assume that only a small percentage of winners will play the game. That's why they give such a large number of games.

I find more interesting the face that some of the people who win these developer giveaways don't even acknowledge getting the gift.

I dont think this is really valid as chances of winning anything to brag about is slim. I have a decent collection although Im sure its small to alot of people, but I did buy all of these games (on sale of course)

Once you have grown a bit, you'll realize that others may have different drives and joys in their life compared to yours. This doesn't necessarily mean they're better than you nor beyond you. Also, meaningless "issues" are meaningless.

No, it's not an age thing.

I only enter giveaways of games that will play, SOME DAY, that include the ones from developers, and not entering the ones with lower entries but I know I won't play them. BTW I would like that nobody judges me when and in which order I play the games on my library.

It's about me! (no surprise in that)
Name:WHY THE HELL SHOULD I TELL YOU!
West Bridgeford, Nottingham, United Kingdom (Great Britain)

uuuuuh i like pie. i dont have many hobbies aside gaming. my favourite games are terraria, realm of the mad god and global agenda:free agent. i hate school (who the hell doesn't?) my favourite passtime aside gaming is watching TV (beats going into broad daylight) and that's about it also im 13 years old yay! (didn't reading this bring so much joy?) also if you know any good steam games tell me about it in the comments or something as i do usually view them once a day and i'd prefer if you recommended a FREE game but anything will do i suppose, now go waste away on something else :)

Stalking my profile and pasting it here really doesn't mean anything to anyone, aside certain older people who just hold a huge amount of hate towards kids, everyone has fair rights to be on the internet playing video games, acting like a 2 year old is the only reason I'd hate anyone on the basis of maturity

When the developer giveaway end, we will see a lot of regifters. Yeah, I hate that too. Idiots who entering giveaways only because they want to regift them, and if they don't want to, they won't play the won games anyway.

I still prefer the "idiots" who redeem the games rather than re-gifting it

Where is the maturity in complaining about people entering to win a game and then not playing it? If I personally enter a giveaway it is because I want the game. It does not mean I will play it right away since I have a back log of games. However, there are people you buy/win games to collect them just like non-baseball fans buying baseball cards just to collect them. How many "idiots" have bought a number 1 issue of <insert comicbook title> just to seal it away without reading?

Well, just because I'm a nice fella, I'll tell you my secret plan to win those developer giveaways.

1) Buy a collection and keep it in your inventory (2K collection will be perfect, 150points to join).
2) Wait until there are about 2 hours left for the developer giveaway.
3) Create a giveaway for the 2K collection (see step 1)
4) IMPORTANT: Set the giveaway as public, with no contributor value and only 1 hour (or around 30minutes before the dev giveaway ends, so people have time to quit as much giveaways as posible to get those 150p back)
5) See in glee how 6-7k users join your giveaway
6) Enjoy your improved chances.

The ONLY downside, is the amount of dosh needed to buy a collection (if available). But what's that compared to the feeling of the first win?

Epic plan and all but where are you getting the 2K collection? And if you don't actually have it then you're as good as banned..

Nope, first time you'll get suspended, which isn't permanent. Maybe after 2 suspensions you'll be banned. At least... if you don't break any other rule.
