Birthday Celebration: Internet-🎂s are a lie! (2018 Edition)

Introduction
... Actually the Birthday Dog gif at the end should have been at this point, just look at it and act like it was right under Introduction...
Main event is over, there are still unanswered questions however, if you feel like getting some minor games for free.

Riddle me this

• Question 0 - It's found on 2 giveaways that ended before this event began. It's been quite some time and no one answered correctly yet. The answer is literally written in this thread tho (that's hint #5). You can answer this question/puzzle in this thread. Altho it was written in 2 different giveaways and answers there will be valid either way. See here: Chatter Section - Wells Soundtrack
• Mystery Question I - This is a question only a true Final Fantasy fan can answer, if you can find it that is.

Riddle me this - Notes

• Ninja Question - Games Category on Steam for me that says 24k+... happy hunting for titles in that. Oo (leaving this here, altho no one even tried to answer the ninja question as it lasted, trying to guess a game that is going to be given away seems too hard, even tho i'm giving away a series of games, but yeah - too late people!)
• Questions 2-28 - can be found on each giveaway ending in June and are part of this event. It's always the same question, but the answer may differ from giveaway to giveaway. You can see where to find each question on the table (notes section).
• Mystery Question II - can be found on one of the giveaways (not noted on table, happy searching ^^).
• Bonus Prize Hints

Planned
Planned were a lot of giveaways but to make it simple: at least 1 unique game every day and copies of some games (most copies in May, most value in June).

Timetable
This event runs from 16 May to 15 June (technically starting 7 days earlier due to start date of the first giveaway). May offers mostly lower value games and June offers mostly higher value games.

All times and dates are germany-based, see this for reference: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/germany

• Giveaways end mid day (12:00 on a 24h clock), doing all checks and giving out prizes may take from several hours (especially inside the week) to few days. On occasion manual (!) winner checks and prize delivery will take several days, especially when running into the support ticket limit (20 per 24h).

This thread will stay open until all questions have been answered or all bonus prizes been awarded, whichever happens first. If any questions are left unanswered, they will be answered by me at that point. Hints for the remainder of questions may be dropped, every now and then, after official end date (15 June).

Rules
How to participate in each of these giveaways?

1. Follow the general 2 rules of SteamGifts:
   • no multiple wins
   • all wins have to be activated on your own account
   • these will be checked via sgtools.info for every winner prior to giving a prize.
2. Otherwise it depends on the nature of the giveaway, these are planned:
   • Public: Meet level requirement, that's it (will be level 2-only for all of May).
   • Group-only: Playing Appreciated group, with level requirement ranging from 3 to 10. See this for more info: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/playing-appreciated (link to apply is found on the right side).
   • Whitelist: Additional people might be added to whitelist in case the 5 minimum entries weren't fulfilled around end of giveaway.
3. Bonus Prizes - Questions or Puzzles might be asked that award Bonus Prizes, how to get them:
   • Have a public profile (that includes the new sub-option, change it in your profile here: https://steamcommunity.com/my/edit/settings)
   • Answer a question or solve a puzzle, then put the answer/solution in the comment section of where you found the question/puzzle (thread -> thread comments, giveaway -> giveaway comments, et cetera).
   • Don't edit your comments, your answer will be ignored when finding a winner.
   • Answers outside SteamGifts will be ignored likewise.
   • Accept my friend request on Steam (DaichiKurosawa on Steam), after 24h of waiting or being ignored/blocked, i will choose a different winner (wait time might be longer depending on how much time i have and how many correct answers there were).
   • There is a list of prizes you choose from. If getting a copy of a game (you already own) i'm not responsible for when a key doesn't work anymore, as you are supposed to activate it asap (as fast as possible) after receiving it.
   • If i'm out of bonus prizes, i'm out of them! There were about 33 bonus prizes when this event started.
   • Every person can only win a single bonus prize, this is to make it fair due to "easy" questions, that can be answered by anyone.

Additional Notes
While i don't expect it, everyone is free to contribute and do their own giveaways pointing back to this thread.
I will try to include all giveaways active & past that were dedicated to this thread in a table (after mention & link in your giveaway, leave a comment with link to giveaway, to be added in table).
Massively reduced my wishlist lately and you will now mostly find stuff i enjoy in there, if you... you know. :P

Updates/Edits

2. Update (18 May): More sub-titles added to thread (Riddle me this, Riddle me this - Notes) also "Question 0" and "Next Questions", another rule added to 3 ("Answers outside SteamGifts will be ignored likewise."), which should have been obvious from the previous rule already. End of Timetable written in bold, put into list function and added more text. Comments are read on a daily basis, new giveaways & winner curation (of question/s) coming over the weekend, still too busy today for more than winner checks and prize delivery.
