It was a constant state of nerfing and adjustments for months. I think the system is working pretty well now. Contributor giveaways are baller.

i think nerfing his point generation and keeping his cap to 1 would be great though :)

^ this. If giveaway aren't group or contributor, your chance of winning is very small.

i think OP thinks he/she is important lol (cuz u know soooo many giveaways created)

Perhaps you should just stop entering giveaways for games you don't want. It's not a bad thing if you're maxed at 300 you know.

Why would you do this? I don't enter for games I know I won't play because there are people out there who may really want that game. Is it really so hard to exert just a little bit of self-control?

You're funny

how do you enter in every single game? i mean... if i am right everyone can only enter in 5% of all games in average. or is my math wrong?

humans are weird motherfcking creatures...

For the betterment of the community. I don't want to limit everyone else, I think it would be good for the community to limit everyone, including me.

I don't think it has anything to do with self control, just that he has a very exclusive list of games he actually wants. Perhaps a better option would be to further research some of the games that regularly appear on this site to see if he might actually want to win them. That way he can feel better about spending the excess points on things he does want.

then enter less giveaways

You get 5% of the value of all new giveaways in points. This means that there is no way to enter 'any giveaway' at 'a constant, endless rate'. You can enter 5% of all giveaways and then you'll be out of points. I don't think that's so bad. Most of the people who are overflowing with points are those like you and I who have hundreds of games in our libraries already. Most of the giveaways that go through are things that we either already have or don't even want. That's not true for someone who hasn't been on Steam for years collecting games from sales and whatnot.

There's games I really, really want, there's games I kinda want. In this situation, I see no reason not to enter giveaways for both, same as the other 99.9% of users. I could intentionally gimp myself by staying at cap and only enter for my most wanted games, but that's all I'd be doing, intentionally gimp myself, while others do what they do now.

Yes please.

The pointless generation

I agree, but bundles and sales wont go away. I feel it would be good for the site to adapt to that and introduce some point scarcity.

I kind of like that, but I think any sort of nerf would do. More scarcity = users more picky about what they want.

I guess it depends on your preference of games. For me, preferring lower cost indie games, I'm swimming in points.
