I wonder if the difference is because this is a high profile, desirable game, or because this giveaway is region restricted whereas yours wasn't? The latter leads me to suspect that whatever region was blocked has a lot of auto-Enter thing users.
I would guess that since I gave away a "trash" game with low points requirement, the auto-joiners were a larger percentage of the overall entries, compared to this one where more real humans might see it from their wishlist etc.
But I have done many of these tests, typically I expect 1%-2% entry in the hidden GA.
I did an "olympics" a year or two ago where I did the same experiment in different regions (NA, SA, EU, RU/CIS, Asia) and results were not too wildly different between regions. The "best" had only 4% entry rate. But again it was with "trash" games that I could afford to buy 10 copies of. :)
I do wonder, though, if your use of an inexpensive game may have skewed your statistics. Just because, for example, I would have never seen that giveaway - I only ever view my Wishlist and Recommended giveaways. And thus anyone like me, who sticks to those two filters, would similarly miss your giveaway, and thus you'd mostly catch auto-joiners and such.
Awesome to read about these experiments, really interesting to see wether they confirm or destroy my preconceptions. Do you have a thread dedicated to that?
Thanks for the chance!

Thanks for the previous giveaway, and extra chance! :)
Also, wow, I think this is a staggering display of how few people actually read the descriptions (or don't use auto-Enter things).

The entries are actually shockingly high on this one... compare to https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Fgz3f/burst-into

Wow, that is shocking.

That's pretty sad.
