bundle game gift give aways woth 20% of price but entering still cost full price points why?

Also why would we have to get discounted entry prices lol , if you think about it then your chances of winning a game are even lower.

that would be correct

Sorry for going entirely off-topic, but would you mind telling me where you took that profile picture? :)

I'd prefer to just be able to enter a giveaway multiple times. That way if it's something you really want you can just dump all your points into it for a better chance of winning, and that gives better odds on other giveaways for their participants.

never thought of in that aspect as i was just sorta thinking out loud and i was mainly curious,though i think the odd of winning would be easier if the points giving where a lot lower as people would be more selective as to what they would enter as it stands now with the points i earn i am able to enter on average 10-20 games a day depending on price of them

now if you was only allowed say 100 points a day that would increase everyone odds of winning as then i would choose only the games i really want not just ones i really want and ones that i normally would not bother with but want because i have the points and the risk is low if i do not like it as in most cases within a couple hours i will have earned about another 20 points to enter another decent game and the fact that i have unused points and do not like wasting i enter games i may be spark my interest and what not and may want them but they are not by far my first choice so i enter then,thus in t he end making it harder for those who really want that is just how it works people who can enter for free tend to enter things they normally would not bother with if it is free and easy

so really if they want to make it easier for people to win they would need to give out less points

then i miss read it a bit

none the less it is not a big thing for me but i think i will not be giving away to many non bundle games as i do not have a big game budget to start with so i usually only buy games i really want and well just giving my games that i will not use to someone that will is good enough for me

so at this point i do not think i will earn a big amount on the giving end since i have no retail keys to give just those bundle ones i have listed but giving is always better then getting :)

I run out of points a couple times a day.

I think giveaway of a lesser value do contribute in raising points, as in half points, tenth of points, etc.

We just cannot see them but they're here.

what if you bought retail after it was bundled though?? i know they say they will retro it but what about after it has been bundle?

i guess maybe it is an apples vs orange kind of thing lol

at some point most the good games will end up in bundles

but what can be done as if they say wait so long to release the bundle end of it,then people would more likely hoard them till then

so far i think it is fine the way it is for the most part as the whole point is to give not to worry about what you are getting

after all i know i will not be giving a ton of games and will more likely never hit those elite give away steam groups

but at least when i give something i know someone will have a chance to enjoy something i would other wise never play and might increase my odds of winning by joining some that are for people who contribute

How about to read the FAQ?
