Have you brought your flame-proof coat? I have the feeling you might need it.

If you want to give away your unused keys in a private group, I suggest Cherry Poppers

?
That group is specifically made for long-time losers on sgifts who've never won anything yet. A charitable group if ever there was one.

Babecakes, exactly, which is why I said "?" - as in, "you say you don't wanna join a 'charity-like' group, yet this is precisely that."

Then you're just a stingy bastard with your time and energy. I've always done charity / volunteer work when I have time / energy left, and will always continue to live like that. I don't even see it as doing something specific, just a way of being.

If you were sorry, you'd not have been able to say you're sorry, as you'd bother trying to be that kind of person also. See the quandary you posit?
Comment has been collapsed.
So, basically, you're being sarcastic to insult my point of trying to be a good, sharing person, like it's naieve, or unenviable or something?

Apologies, I read your reply wrong lol. "Babecakes"? I like it. Though now you've got this awful song stuck in my head!

Yes, Cherry Poppers is more like a charity group, you can not enter any of the group giveaways if you apply as a "popper", but you could almost apply as a cherry if you enter 100 more giveaways without winning ;)
Anyway, you can always search the forum, there are some groups promoted.

^ this.
If you're just looking for a decent group where good people hang out, that maybe does giveaways too, as a side issue rather than pirely being a giveaway group, posting purely "who knows a good private group" on the site STEAMGIFTS would have sufficed, no?

It'll be hard to find a Private group though; many private are created because they play similar games together/clans/guilds. The best way for you to join or find a Private Group is to play common online games. That way you can make friends with people and create your own group.

?? You're missing my entire point.
My point is, if you're really just looking for a nice group of people that maaaybe do the occasional giveaway, instead of looking for a giveaway group and more shots at games, you'd not have bothered describing the group as a "private giveaway group" as hey, this is STEAMGIFTS. The "giveaway" part is already implied. You'd more likely have focussed more on actually describing the kind of group you were looking for.. As it stands, the only feature of a group we know you're looking for is a) that it's a group, and b) that it does giveaways, as it's all you've focussed on describing..
My insinuation is further backed up by your last line.. "Well if some of the Private Groups feels like I could fit in I would be happy if you anwer me. Deevo" < This is a request for an invite, you're asking for someone to invite you to their group, by asking people "if you fit in" with them, right after you've said, basically, that noone knows anything about you, since you claim to not be an active community member to begin with..

It's not about being a white knight. It's about community spirit and a desire to contribute.
If it is about being white knights, those people who gave away thousands of dollars of games must be god or something.
Comment has been collapsed.
Mmmm some of them do do it for less than altruistic intentions. Think, e-peenage.
Comment has been collapsed.
"Internet white knight"?
1) "White knighting" is defending someone from amorous advances of the opposite sex, to gain their favour.
2) "Gets you nowhere anyway"? Ok, so to you, doing something good for another, or sharing some of your own wealth, is only sensible to do if there's a tangible gain of some kind for yourself in it? That's quite pathetic and low.

Your "2" has nothing to do with my "2", whatsoever.
Also, my "2" was also influenced / inspired by your other posts on this thread.

Why is it something else in the 'net then? We're still all real, living, breathing human beings of flesh and blood.
Comment has been collapsed.
You said that you don't get the meaning of giving games to strangers. Talking about being a White Knight is just silly. If people are giving in order to feel like that they are missing the point. Gifting stuff obviously gets people somewhere otherwise they wouldn't do it

I guess there are 3 sorts of contributors,
1 : Has very much money and feels like he has to share it because other have not much
2 : Some kind of getting good karma, or paying for the sins or whatever
3 : ppl with some spare keys
I'm sort 3.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well you would know the best what kind of contributor you are, but its not only those 3 groups, there are for example people that aren't rich, but want to contribute and make people happy. If you want to give away your spare keys, whats stopping you :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You're quite wrong, nobody has "very much money" in fact I doubt anyone here makes millions of dollars or something. It just depends on HOW you use your money. Do you use it for yourself? Or do you only use enough for your needs?
Not so sure about the karma people, that one could possibly be true. Though I feel it would be better said as "I received a game, so to be fair I'll send a game back" So the though of "Receive and Give"
For the people with spare keys... well that's up to you. Though most of the time those are generally thought of as the people who ask stupid questions on the forums (I DON'T WIN ANY GAMES), (How come my contributor value is $30?), or (Why my game get deleted?). Pretty much the people who don't read the rules.
It is understandable if you don't give away games because you simply just don't want to, but don't really expect to join a private group that gives away games.

I do not make a lot of money. Gaming is the one luxury I can justify spending money on because of how much fun and enjoyment I get out of it. Other people have their own luxuries, whether it be books, movies, etc. I know some people can't afford this luxury so when I have a few extra dollars, I can either buy another game for myself or I could use it to give to others who may not be as fortunate as I am. One doesn't need to be a millionaire just to give something away to others.

You should create your own private giveaway group.
Make it a requirement for members to give games away every week. That way, you can enter private giveaways yourself.
Don't tell anyone I told you this.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think you understand how people who give to charity actually think. They don't think of it as "spending extra money" they merely think of it as giving things away for the sole benefit of the person receiving it. THEY DO NOT EXPECT SOMETHING BACK.
You're making charity sound as though it's a liability or something that you do just because you have extra stuff to toss away.
Comment has been collapsed.
I see a difference.
real life charity is about saving ppls asses and helping them to man up their life etc.
Internet charity is about "oh some of the kids which don't want to play outside want free games, lets help them"
thats how I see it, it may be a very unromantical view but it's mine.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not just humble bundle and other "bundle sites", there are many live streams that are tossed in the forum for certain charities, I'm sure you can also give money to other charities online.
Think of it this way, Charity is voluntarily giving something away while expecting nothing back in return. That could be in the form of money, games, clothes, pretty much anything that would benefit the user receiving it.
Comment has been collapsed.
lol, why? Why is money different? Money = what you worked for, your effort. And if you got it without working for it, then what's the harm in sharing some of what you've got?
Comment has been collapsed.
Why do I feel the urge to hit you with a stick... multiple times? You just basically said:
I will not give away games because I do not like to and I do not understand the meaning of buying games for people whom I do not know, but I still want to join a private giveaway group... Also, you are not active on the forum, which ruined even the least chance of you getting into a group of some sort
Comment has been collapsed.
I have a feeling it's not just strangers on the internet who want to hit you with a stick. shrug
Comment has been collapsed.
All the best, doubt you'll get any invites this way.
it's better u goto some open groups, get to know ppl on chat and then drop the link to private giveaway on chat..
Comment has been collapsed.
You shouldn't be on this site, or at least you shouldn't win anything with that mentality. I'm sure all those giveaways you enter are from people you don't know, but you don't see the meaning of it.
There will always be causes that may be deemed more worthy, but in the end, people have the right to do what they will with their money. I enjoy gaming, and I understand others may not be in the same position as I am when it comes to purchasing games. Even people that can afford to buy their own games appreciate when something nice is done for them. I give because I want to spread joy to other people, though in many ways still a selfish act in that it makes me feel good when I give away games.
To be honest, I thought this was a troll until I read some of the OP's comments. I was looking for a private giveaway link in the post
Comment has been collapsed.
Umm, I guess I should appreciate your honesty, but you aren't going to get into any private groups like this. You basically said you aren't active and you don't give away many games, so why should you deserve a place in any private group?? Most private groups are dedicated to either communicating with the other members of the group or giving away games, or even both at the same time, and you're not good at either of those...
Comment has been collapsed.
I said that I'm not active in the forums, because I didn't know (until now btw) that there are ppl I can diskuss with. I would ofc communicate with the group.
Well I guess I failed at the description, at least some ppl here know me now, even if they may not like me :D

Greetings,
You have never heard from me in the Forums, thats because I'm not active in it. I'm searching for a private group, I may not have the best game keys to give, because I don't get the meaning of getting games for other ppl which I don't know(+ having not much Money because I'm a Student), but I want to give the spare keys I got to real people. Even if the Games are not the greatest it should be possible to write thank you after you recive it. Feels like alot of Bots are in the public giveaways.
Well if some of the Private Groups feels like I could fit in I would be happy if you anwer me.
Deevo
