Why do people do it?

They put up a gift they will never ever deliver, what is the point?

Case in hand..

http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/QQATh/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii/page/4

Said he bought a pre-order key from a romanian key selling site, which is legit, but the site had said they would deliver the key on release, but this guy said he had an email from them. Funniest part he was "told" to not use the key until release or it won't work... how shady was that. Another reason for a suspect gift.

Obviously a couple of us went out on a quest to disprove this obvious fake gift attempt, and we did and not only did he remove his proof... which is this http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=21b96on&s=6 ... he then said he had the key and someone would be happy...

Yeah didn't turn out that way and obviously thought oops this might not be smart since I already tried to give away betas and region locked titles in the past. Or he finally figured out that even if you contribute you don't get extra chances to win anything.

So yeah , what is the mentality of these people, do they get anything out of this for themselves like gratification? Or do they just want to get suspended >.<

Yes, be careful here.

And answering to your question. Well, many people have too much free time I guess.

people try to break the rules all the time, as long as they think they'll have an advantage of some sort and they can get away with it.

I think it's totally fine to post about such incidents, I find it actually amusing - but the OP is breaking the SG rules in the process, too.

Cats are meant to be furry, this reply makes no sense. I like cats anyway.

There is. It's called suspension.

Wasn't calling anyone out, it was an one example out of many to go along with the question. So no need for the quick assumption there :)

^ This. The individual giveaway pages are already usually flooded with people calling fake, even when it's not. No one wants to see every other thread on the forum being a thread for calling out a fake giveaway.

Some put up gifts to try to get subs to their social media.

Some put up gifts thinking it means they'll get that gift.

Some are just trolls.

Yeah I know that someone never added those titles he won on his account either. He smelled of dodgeyness.

Well my friend won a gift but has never received it and since then he hasn't returned to Steam Gifts. This is kinda sad though because these types of people are just killing of their own community....

When I go home people'll ask me, "Hey Hoot, why do you do it man? What, you some kinda war junkie?" You know what I'll say? I won't say a goddamn word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand that it's about the men next to you, and that's it. That's all it is.

My up-most respect to anyone who correctly identifies which film this is from.

You want to leave? You want to go off and fight the war? All right. All right. I won't stop you. I'll even put in the paperwork. I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.

Oh, you actually did it. O_O

I actually had to google that one. I'll leave it for others, but I'll say I like it much better than BHD.

Because some people are just total idiots (like the ones I met today on this site), but the sad part is, they think about themselves how awesome and better they are, making themselves a kings (even they are just another walking piece of sh*ts of this planet.) :(
