I would really like such feature, people not always giveaway games they already own or don't want.

I would question this, but I've actually given away games that I wanted haha.

But nah, I don't think we should have the ability since, for most people, it'd be pointless.

Roll a dice before making the giveaway.

Why don't roll a dice on a list of your friends then instead of creating private giveaway?

Isn't the entire point of this site to have a place that you can trust to ramdonly choose a winner for your GA? You already have the means to control who enters and who does not. I'm sorry but I see no point in your suggestion, if you want the game than just get it, or do as it was mentioned above if you want luck to decide, what you proposed would open so many exploit opportunities and overload the site with pointless GAs.

sure, ask your friends to join, make them refuse the game and take a print reroll untill you win your own game and free cv
10/10 would laugh again :D

Winning your own giveaway shouldn't actually give CV since you kept it in the end. So yeah, it's pointless.

So you want credit for giving away a game that you don't give away? Really? Stupid idea, if you want the bloody game keep it.

You did, it was ensured by site. You don't get cv if there's less than 10 entries anyway.

  1. Create 10 fake accounts
  2. Enter your private giveaway with all of them
  3. Ask for re-rolls until you win
  4. Get banned for having mutiple accounts
  5. ...
  6. Profit?

Flip a coin, you'll have 50% chance of winning. Way more than every participant in your giveaway.

But, what if I want to prevent myself to enter my own giveaways: will I be able to blacklist myself?

If you also whitelist yourself you'll be able to see the giveaway.

To themselves you mean? You can just activate the gift yourself if you want, entering your own giveaway beats the point of steamgifts. I'm not sure how it goes in the new site, but I believe in the old steamgifts the minimal number of entries to get CV was 2 or rather one more entree then number of copies given.

Yep, it was 2 entries, now raised to 10.

Agreed with OP here, that would be a really nice addition.

As long as if its the giveaway maker that wins that they don't get any CV for the giveaway. But if you want the game, either by 2 copies and activate one or just activate the one you are thinking of giving away.

I don't want the giver to get the game and get CV for it.

If you want the game for yourself, just keep it. If you want to give it, give it and there is no need to try to win it for yourself. If you are unsure, think about it some more and then decide. Putting up a prize, but then trying to win it yourself just isn't gifting imo.

No, this is stupid. Yes, I did giveaways with games I didn't have, but entering this giveaways by myself... Wait, I have found a picture.
NSFW!

I do this all the time. I create a giveaway that only allows one user, I enter it, and then I win and activate it!

I kick ass at it, too! I've won 846 times!
