Can we just be fair ?

Agreed. I mean, if you don't want to play a game - don't enter a giveaway.

I'm curious as to why the amount of games someone has matters. If someone wants a game, then they want the game regardless of the other games they own.

lower contribution value if you want to see more people with less games win your giveaways xD

No one is stopping the people with say just 30 games from entering. Least going by your second sentence "Come on guys be fair let people that have not many games enter."

I only enter for games I am actually interested in. I'm sure there are many others who are the same. But there are many people who just enter for everything they can just because they can, or just because they want to fill out their list, or what ever reason they can come up with.

this is no different in concept to thought crimes.

I may be a bit guilty. I was doing this my first days here, but after my first win, which was a game I wanted for a very long time, I started signing only for games I wish to play. I find myself with over 100 points most times.

You know, maybe people want to try those games.

Must. Not. Leave. Comment. Here.

Everyone gets equal points so everyone gets an equal chance of winning whatever they enter. Those who usually have more games are the highest contributors so i think the system is pretty fair.

If want a game, i really want it, wheter i play it in the next few days or maybe just in a couple of month, doesn´t matter.
Btw. the more games u own, the easier it is to select the one, you´re interested in, imho.
Also, u can´t enter for games you already own - this increases the odds for all the other guys, right ?
So i don´t see the case.

btw. i play a lot of games offline on my notebook, so the shown up time, ain´t the real one.

PS: Sry for my poor english ;-)

most people with much games are Game Collectors, they just want as much games as possible.

"Come on guys be fair let people that have not many games enter."

Actually, anyone can enter. You seem to be confused about how this works.

I guess I'm in your 300+ category. I also have only entered for games I at least thought I wanted - though I have since realized that I didn't do my research on Shadow Ops. However I intend to play every game I won just as soon as I get the time to sit down at my desktop - which probably won't be until this design project is over. Hell, I already installed the ones that are worth running on my laptop (except Oddworld, I want to play that with a controller ^^)

I didn't start this converstation to fight or something like that. Just to say people help each other. It's a lot better when 10 different people have a varation of games and different when a single person have a varation of games.

Most visitors pretty much enter any/all games and because they have a very low chance of 1 out of 500/1000. Though it's wrong when someone trades off the games or regifts it.

If they win it, they should at least give it a chance.

Another one that wants to set in new rules.

World is unfair. Deal with it or perish.

The thing that irks me is when you find someone who has 20+ wins on the site over the course of many months and has never played any of the games they have won. It would be cool if your wins would be capped at like five or something until you actually play the games that you have won for a decent amount of time. Not sure how they would police this though

Bah, I think people with less games who just want to play them should stop entering giveaways because all they're doing is slowing down us game collectors.

I'll create as many giveaways as I want, and I'll enter as many giveaways as I want.

This site is about having fun and sharing and playing a metagame.

If you really want a game that bad, go out and earn some cash and buy it, not make silly threads on the forum.

If you're coming here seriously expecting to get all those games you want but can't afford, you're just wasting your own time.

Gotta catch them all

What a bunch of jerks!

I like to collect games, yes i have nearly 500 games(400+ were bought by me) and only played like 150 of them, i'm waiting for the day when i retire, so i can lay down and play untill i fall to the side on my own grave.

And if you are curious enough, i'm 20, that means i got a long freaking way ahead of me untill that happens, and it makes me sad just to think about how long it's going to take...

I hope you are happy because you made me sad now.

Fair? Lets talk about fair not based on who has the biggest library but who has the smallest donation count on their record.

Complaining about it doesn't help. This is a site for ANYONE to enter a giveaway so long as they don't have the game. As long as they stick in their library for themselves I see no problem. It's completely fair, this is done BY random and it's not like the people with a large library has an advantage over the guys with little games. Besides, how large a person's library is makes no difference, a lot of them purchased most of them and it's their money to do with as they please, just because they may have money to purchase the game still doesn't mean they can't enter a giveaway just to try and get it for free thanks to the contributors on the site. Even if they're collectors, they still want it, which is the whole purpose of the giveaway, to give it to a person that wants the game.
