some people make giveaways under the assumption that the games are offered by the site, and not their responsibility. new users fall victim to this mistake in particular.

its just a bad game, and people should read FAQ

People think the giveaway is fake....well there's a lot of those among high value public giveaways created by new users. A lot of new people, for some unimaginable reason, think they will receive a game when they create a giveaway. Those are most easily recognized when someone who joined <1 day ago creates a 3 copies of Dishonored/CoD Blops 2/Skyrim giveaway.

Ah. Alright, thanks.

Regular users/contributors of this site are sometimes suspicious, and rightfully so, when people who recently joined (like the same day) or don't have the game they're giving in their Steam inventory.

Reason being some people create false giveaways for few reasons - either they think this site works by posting what you want to get and not what you're giving away, they want other people to spend points so there's less entries in other games or, and this is what I think is most often, they create a false giveaway to get extra points.

You can see how the games like Dishonored (worth 60 and more points) are the perfect things for any of those three things, right? This site really calls out to the best and worst people :)

Read the FAQ!

Because Dishonored is such a hard game to master and reading the FAQ is very helpful.

Win a couple of fake giveaways and you'll get the idea behind such comments.

This is a fake.

The FAQ, etc tells you how the website works. Obviously these people have not read it, hence the comments like "Read the FAQ"

Hey cousin, how you doing? :)

I'm not sure if this can be related to this topic (and yes I've searched the forums for this) but I'd like to clarify if the keys from the Humble Bundles (Ex. Humble Bundle w/ Android 5) ok to be Steamgifted here. Based on what I searched it depends on the TOS but I couldn't see any mention of it there. The reason I ask is I always see bundle games being gifted here. Thanks.

If people think making giveaways gives them the game, why do they enter giveaways?
then again people might just think magical copies just spawn.

because people are suspicious and apparently far more willing to believe the noob is both an idiot and trying to rip them off somehow(make them waste 60 free points I guess?(points that those same people complain of having too many and always being stuck at 300 anyway))
than to risk those 60(on what is at best an almost sure loss anyway even when real) and believe he is actually giving away $180 of stuff(cause its not like there aren't people here who've given thousands, and even if there are they don't start out as noob gifters they pop fully formed with $31 already sent and confirmed).
so they rifle through his steam account and post multiple questions about its legitimacy.

:P

(to be fair apparently at one point some idiot(s?) once came here and somehow thought the site generates codes or something(and I suppose there was probably a troll who did it intentionally for no reason at some point)? but still.) so there is some small president, but is it worth it to assume?
lets look at the results of calling something fake:

if you're right: basically nothing happens.
you didn't enter anyway right? so none of your points are even at risk, the creator almost never checks back and reads your comments, most of the entrants don't either, (and for those who do: if it was so obvious they could come to their own conclusion easily enough without aid) ect.

if you're wrong maybe you chase away a new gifter that was giving quality games.

What baffles me is that they don't want just one, but THREE copies of a game.
