Why do people say thanks in giveaways?

Why do people say thanks in giveaways?

To thank the creator of the giveaway for creating the giveaway.

Why do people say thanks when you give them your kidney? I don't get it. Most of the thanks in giveaways are meaningless though, people who are really thankful says something other that ty, or thx

Why do people say thanks when you give them chance to win???

When poeple around you starts asking why is somebody thanking someone other for doing something nice you know we're living in a very sad times.

It's the polite thing to do, someone is giving away something for free to a complete stranger

Because it's the right thing to do?

T.Hanks!

Lest's be honest, the only reason is because people think they are having bigger chance to win. And it's not free , you get a game like free and the creator get better cv. Better CV means bigger chances for contributor giveaways where there are given much better games. It's all a buisness. One more thing, the crerators mostly giveaway games that they were free, or almost free (bunch of humble bundle). Rarely people giveaway good titles, really worth, most of the thime just crap.

You're saying that you're grateful for the chance of winning a game. It doesn't help your chances of winning at all (as far as I know). But it's just showing you're not some asshole that's like "OOOOOH FREE GAME!". Because these people really don't have to give shit away.

It stands for "thanks for the chance"
Express appreciation to the owner of the giveaway.

I like to express my thank you IF i have WON a game, then i show my excsesive thank you to the game giveawayer. it only makes sence to do so. But thanking for the game being given away is a good thing, i dont think its wrong but reqieres far too much typing and not realy worth it if you dont win, which i dont realy, for a good long while now. Increasing chance by commenting is something a idiot must have thought of.

Nothing alters the odds, the FAQ says so, so, that's the stupidest thing I've read today.

There once was this amazing thing called manners, people used to have them. It's nice to thank people when they do nice things.

they're canadian

Tanks?

Because that's the least you should say to someone who is giving a gift. You're given a chance to win a game, so you should thank that.

Why do people not use the search feature before making topics like this one?

I write a comment in a GA in few cases

• I'm in a good mood
• I have something more to write than "thx"
• I solved a puzzle (mostly this one, i don't even join half of them, but damn puzzles are sexy)
• I won a GA (always)

I don't think anyone thinks that. But people do like to keep their comment to giveaway ratio pretty close.

There are people who dont do things of which dont benefit. They asks themselfs why other people do things of which dont benefit. And their conclusion is always wrong.

I only really joined steamgifts to give away a few things - there's been some sad times in my life recently and giving stuff away makes me feel good :) - I like to read the comments even if it's just the perfunctory 'thx' and les be honest - it doesn't really cost you anything but a few seconds of consideration :3

If it's a short giveaway, I say thanks if I remember. I don't bother if it's a weeklong one that will draw 82 billion entries, because come on.

I say thanks because I'm not an immensely rude troll and if people are going to give me something for nothing, it's the least one can do.

Why is someone not going to take some time saying "thanks" while the creator of the GA is spending real money for us? I'm that kind of person I think. You don't have to be ungrateful you because you have bad luck ...

Because it's the polite thing to do?
