Who finds it annoying to wait half a week or a week before being contacted by giveaway creators?

I try to make it end when I will be at my PC. But due to not always knowing my work schedule as far ahead as I like to make giveaways sometimes. But even if I work I still send it the same day it ends. At most is probably 6-7 hrs after ending.

"Wondering if people ever get annoyed for not being timely is not being rude just because there is a 7 day grace period for reporting, but taking the full 7 days actually is." => I don't understand well, are you saying that taking 7 day to provide the gift is rude ?
When you talk about "being timely", you should simply stick to the rules, who just say that gifting a game in the 7 days following the GA's end IS timely.
You have the right to be someone with not much patience, but you have to understand that the site rules prevail your personal desires.

Was hoping this was hiding a private giveaway, seems not... Oh well. :)

Who finds it annoying when you buy a game for someone and even a year later they have never even bothered to install it? :)

I mean, why not try to win games you actually wanted to play? :)

I got PC access problems so i ussualy cant do the proccess instantly of contact with giveawayer, get key, insert key, thank for the key, check the box, end the buisness. Need time, luckily no problems so far. Sounds annoying as you say in title but what can ya do. Thank you for mentioning this concern.

Is it just me or does this rant sound like "I want my free game and I want it now. The guy giving me a free game is a @#$%^ for not giving it to me now"

Also, before you make statements like "I usually send key or gift within 1 hour of giveaway ending, a maximum of 5." please remember that everyone will check your profile! Example, everyone would be checking mine now!

I don't really mind. According to the rules, they have a week to send it, but that's mainly the time frame due to it being able to be marked as Not Received after that time. Personally, I wouldn't really mind even if it took more than that. Even if someone sends the game after a couple of weeks, you can still change the feedback to Received. Sometimes it's not easy to log in here daily or someone might be on vacation. Whenever it's convenient for them is fine for me, too.

In case you haven't realized YOU ARE CALLING OUT!!!!

That's just 20 of the 27 games you've taken from here I only listed the ones under an hour.

Point being: You almost never play any games you win here, so what's your hurry?

And in fact: Recent Game Activity: 0.5 hours past 2 weeks

You don't even play ANY games at all on Steam in general, so again what is the bug rush to get the game before the allotted time is up? There's no rule that you need to play games you win for some minimum amount of time, but if you don't really play them, there should be no rush to jump in to that new game...

Well, I am tired and done playing with everyone tonite.

Bed time.

Enjoy you chance at the game, if you do not already have it.

No. That would just be very silly.
I win something for free, I'm going to be happy about it. I won't rant because I want to get it NOW.

What I don't like, on the other hand, is when a winner takes his sweet time to claim his game...
BUT. I am understanding, so I wait patiently. There's no need to rush, really, when you think about it.

Steamgifts is known to be haunted and whenever any giveaway ends, the ghost of Hillary Clinton locks the contributor in his bathroom, therefore delays in gifts delivery. Super inconvenient.

I like to schedule my giveaways to end when I'm at the computer (like now, one just ended 44 seconds ago) but once or twice something has popped up and delayed it.
I don't really mind, I shouldn't complain.

You wot m8?

Who finds it annoying to be added, messaged, and have your wall posted on by leeching winners within 30 minutes of the giveaway ending?

Actually I find more annoying sending a game to the winner and never receive feedback. Btw i also tryied to add him on steam and he hasnt accept yet.

Maybe he has a life actualy.

Seeing someone annoyed about being annoyed about something not really annoying like waiting to receive a free game annoys me more, but that's just personal preference.

yes its a bit annoying, but then i remember im getting free games so deal with it, and be thankfull!

40 minutes to go.

I am surprised, only 30 entries so far.

Must not be a popular game, unwanted by those who replied, or missed due to seeing red, lol.

Good luck to those who entered.
