Multiple gifts in one giveaway.

Closed

I think it would be good if there was a way to put multiple games/DLC in the one giveaway officially. Would make it much easer to glance to see if you want to click to enter and contributors would have the cash value of all products credited to their total.

As an example I made this today: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/mkzY2/men-of-war-red-tide and other than the fact I wanted to do it this way(Men of War is great game, and Red Tide while not as good compliments it nicely and if you get stuck on MOW you can take a break while still being in the same engine using the same skills). I gain nothing and in fact only really lose things.

Anyone else do multiple gifts in one giveaway?

Would you if the site supported it?

^This.

Since the games you mention are also bundle games, it would have negligible effect on your CV, if that's something that's important to you.

+1. As it stands now, the only way to give away multiple gifts in one giveaway is to throw in the other games or DLC as a bonus. That, or, if you have a key that gives multiple games, make a giveaway with one of those games, and tell everyone that they'll get the other games as a bonus.

I guess the main part of the problem is that from the main list you can't see that the gift contains more. Also yu can't search for a game that is not the 'title product'. Also, I'm not convinced everyone reads the giveaway description.

Just do the one giveaway and make note in the giveaway itself that you'll also give the winner whatever else, it's what I do the occasional time I want to do a giveaway like that.

What everyone else said. It's a bundle game you're giving, anyways, so it's not like it matters in terms of CV

In this case yes.
In the future for me and others this may well not be the case, certainly if the option was available I think we would see more of it.

No, because then only people who didn't own either game would be able to enter.

Ah, very good point. I suppose the devils advocate reply would be that you most likely don't want those people entering. Using my own current giveway as an example I would be disappointed if the winner had Men of War already.

Seems like the overall tenor from the responses thus far are that everything is working perfectly as is.

I believe more options are a plus and this one is clearly something I would like. I guess I expected more people to be in favour of having more options and greater control of creating giveaways.
