Why did you join Steamgifts? (Giveaway different levels, minimus level 1)

I had a similar reason as you, I was giving all my spare keys to my brother, but it never seemed like he really appreciated it. There were some really nice games, but he never plays any of them :(

I then started giving out keys on a computer forum I'm a member of, where they had a thread for spare keys. Someone gave away their spare keys through Steamgifts and linked through the forum and encouraged us to join. It wasn't any games I was interested in, but I remembered the name of the site and checked it out a while later and started giving away some games... now I'm a casual gifter here ;)

I don't remember. It was a long time ago, a friend told me about the page and I joined, of course, attracted by the idea of free games. However, I did not win anything and I stopped visiting it soon afterwards. And that was it until... last November I think, when I suddenly remembered about it. And now I'm beginning to understand the philosophy of the site. :)

I joined the SG just for the "Free" Dwarfs!? key, then i gave a random key i had, got lvl 1, i slowly started winning, started feeling bad for not giving anything back to the community, started eventually making GAs. So, here i am.

Waiting for my cake day.

Bump, Great train.
At first I joined for the free games, but I stayed for the awesome community!

Bump for an awesome train! Regarding your question, I heard somewhere about this awesome site which gives free games. So I joined.

I joined for the coffee

I was told to join a SG group in the forum I usually haunt (since 2001 eek)
Got a few bundles and made some GAs.
Won a few group GAs too.
And so the addiction began. Sometimes it's as if it's not the game per se, it's the winning a game at all that matters :/

Concerning RL people you give keys to: Yeah, they take ages to activate and don't give feedback. Unknown people on the net can be nicer ;)

initially it was cause i wanted a DLC for a game and at the time i could afford it, so google results brought me here. DLC i wanted was not being given away so i left and didnt return for another year...

1year later i bought several winter sales gifts, remembered this site, and decided to return and start doing a few GA's and start entering into stuff... 1month after that i discovered bundles... been giving and winning ever since :D

I joined because I'm poor and wanted free stuff.
Since then, I've given away more free stuff that I've won (but my won stuff is better quality, so I don't complain).

^

Bump for a very nice train!
I joined for no particular reason, I was fascinated with the concept.

Thanks bump :)

First, I was like "Freeeeeee Games!"
but, now, i think it's more of a forum to me. I mean I go to the puzzles section with all that riddles and stuff to solve, then in the general to see what up lately, and people asking questions and such. Then, if I see a nice GA with a game that i really want, I join. :D
I now get it that SG is more of a community than a "faceless" give and take site.

You feel me bruh?

bumpity bump before bedtime ;)

It was probably because of the whole "AY ITS FREE!" Aspect :O but I enjoy giving away now and then, when my wallet allows me! Too bad my giveaways are region restricted, so many cool people I'd like to whitelist :(

I had multiple extra keys for some games and my friends either had them or didn't want them, so I ended up here.

As it turns out my first giveaway was for Torchlight 2 which one of my friends decided to buy last week.

Bump!

I randomly stumbled across this website about a month ago when I wanted to join a giveaway in one of the steamgroups I belong to, totally forgot about it after that.

And since this week I somehow stumbled across the website again, and figured it's a perfect way to get rid of double steamkeys I got from bundles/buying cheap 10 steam key lottery things, etc.

I never really expect to win anything, but I'm just joining the giveaways for games that somehow grab my interest... If Idon't win, nothing lost. If I do win, yay! A nice surprise ^^.

Hm... I got here by accident ^^" Didn't know what this is all about (at first when I saw the 300 points I was like: "Oh... They want me to pay for those, don't they? ><" suspicious mode on), but I've read FAQ, then won my first giveaway and then... Started reading forums and wanted to be part of this community. I still give games to my friends, they are not ungrateful, often they are the one sharing with me, but this community is important and I want to give something from myself.

Bump!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented here and in the giveaways. I read every story and I really appreciate your input. For everyone who entered, good luck and I hope you win! I'll do another one of these soon, if and when the finances allow.

Well, I'm not proud to say that I join SG to win some free games without any hassle. :|

Giveaway finished (except for the one I started late and ended late). Congratulations to all the winners. My appreciation to the guys who already activated and said thanks moments after I send the keys. You've been whitelisted.

Thanks again to everyone for participating in the discussion. I hope to do another soon enough. Maybe with a little show of gratitude to the blue heart club too. :)
