Hello!
So what most likely happened is I was going through my Steam library in efforts to keep it from getting bloated, getting rid of the games I don't need, as in the ones I don't play anymore/lost interest in/didn't enjoy and don't plan on giving them a "second chance", ones that don't work anymore (like for example MINIMAL from that sgtools list, actually), or straight up "meme games" that are often gifted as a joke and are, at best, garbage, and so the games sgtools shows you most likely got hit during that proccess, and considering there was a period of time when I wasn't active on this website (from 2016 or so until recently, you can see it in my stats), and all those games are from before that period of inactivity (2013-2015 I believe) (and in some cases of questionable quality but my subjective judgement isn't of any importance here), I'm inclined to believe I didn't consider the way I obtained them while going through my library, though I do remember playing them or at least giving them a go a long time ago after checking them.
Not all of the games I won were "lost" this way, but I agree a 5 out of 16 isn't a perfect score by any means and you are justified in being concerned.
Considering your giveaway, I can tell you that I have bought, played and enjoyed SOMA and Amnesia: The Dark Descent by the same developers, and do intend on redeeming Amnesia: Rebirth and playing it, as I have done with the rest of my "wins" (except for Clear Sky but I've played it a lot before I owned it on Steam so I'm fine for now), my Steam profile is open so you can look for them if you'd like to double-check.
hi,
im not concerned with the games not being played.
if you look at my profile then you will see i have won quite some GAs myself and havent come to play most of them yet though im slowly getting there. some of them, especially from my early time here are rather trshy games and i mostlikely will never play them till the end (i tried a few but meh)
if you think most of them were removed by yourself then i believe there is a way to retrieve them ... something with licenses still being connected to your account but i cant tell you how... im sure you can find it here on SG... or google
maybe try that out.
generally unactivated wins like here would be reason to get suspended, maybe not by me but someone else might report you for that, so i would suggest you try retrieving them in any case.
and if you dont like seeing them anymore on your account you can hide them or make a folder with games you dont like, so you wont get in trouble at some point for more unactivated wins
these are the games in question to make sure we see the same:
Minimum (2015-04-04 06:32:00)
AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity (2014-11-11 17:55:00)
Motte Island (2014-04-11 21:25:00)
Secret of the Magic Crystals (2014-04-01 03:45:00)
Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 (2013-07-11 08:55:00)
Yes, the list is the same I'm seeing on sgtools as of starting to write this message, 2013-2015 as I mentioned.
I agree that my methods are, well, radical, and it is more sensible to create different categories for games or utilise other methods Steam provides, but that's just how I do things sometimes I guess, and to be honest I don't regret it as I didn't ever miss a single game I got rid of this way. Honestly I would've just sat here not even knowing I deleted things I won here if you didn't bring this up. And yes, I know there is a very simple way to restore the games, it's fully automated through Support tab, already brought them back actually, so the sgtools check should return nothing unactivated now. So thanks for the heads up :D
youre not the first one to remove them "permanently" from your account as i read about a few cases of the same problem (removed wins) multiple times here on SG, which is how i got to know about that its possible to retrieve them.
any ways no worries youre in the clear now and i've sent you your key. have fun with it :)
btw... i add all of my SG wins to a folder so i know that i won them here... might be an option for you too when you want to remove a game again you will see that its a win
Thanks a lot !!!!
