It seems like a lot of people enter giveaways just so that they can win something instead of actually caring about the quality of the game. Is that true or completely wrong?

In general, I only enter for games I think I will like and play at some point. Sometimes I'm wrong and I might end up not liking them so much, but when I enter I do think it's a game I'll want to play. Now and then I'll enter for some other ones, such as when I'm trying to complete a bundle I didn't buy as a bundle. Entering for things I don't really want lessens the chances of other people who may really want them, so I try to avoid that.

I'm picky. There's very little left of my wishlist on here so I only enter if it's something I really want to play in the future. My games filter is crazy long.

I enter a lot of stuff mainly because I'm poor and also because I don't want enough games to pay for all my 300 points.

I'm picky, moreso now, before I had a boom of entering things (but always if I was at least a bit interested in it), nowadays I just enter some things here and there.

I use my points liberally, but only on games that I think I might enjoy playing.

I only pick giveaways of games I know I would like to play, at least try. Also if there is more than 1k, 1,5k entries I run away shouting and waving my arms.

I was like that too, then I saw a Serous Sam HD giveaway with 1k+ guys and tried my luck. I won.
Then I started running down my street wearing only my underwear while commemorating.

I enter for games I won't, or games I am interested in but unsure of.

Just entering whatever might be played even if it is a game or two in a bundle (because indie bundles... some are near shovelware quality)

I enter for whatever I'm a little interested in, but if I have a lot of points I will enter for games I'm not so sure of, if only to put the points somewhere because then if I change my mind, I can put the points towards a different giveaway.

I have been a little confused lately as to whether I should enter Humble THQ Above Average giveaways just because I want Saint's Row as I already have the other games. There are naturally a lot of separate SR3 giveaways but those cost 40 points compared to the 6 from above average >_>

Sadly most people enter everything whats possible and we get Revelations 2012, Bad Rats and SotMC giveaways with 300+ entries. I was picky at begining and entered just wishlist games, but now i usualy enter everything i don't own and isn't multiplayer-only (mostly because of the odds and i like most games anyways).

At the end of the day I gotz 0 points. Infact I normally have 0 points. Fuck you points. Your gonna die. :P the only giveaways that I have a chance of winning are probably for shit I don't really care about. Bundle games are the only games that hAve a decent amount of entrants. Lord just make giveaways for postal games XD. <----- I would spend all my points on that ;)

I filter out almost every game and only enter in a select few games I'm entered in. I can't even see the games I don't want.

Usually I tell my self if I'm even ever going to play the game if I win it since I have a huge backlog, then if no I skip it and go through more pages.

When I first joined I pretty much entered anything because the chances were so slim(even slimmer now) to ever win, but after a certain amount of time(even though I never won them lol) I started to just entered games I am interested in.

If I ever did win something I didn't want I'd try it anyways. I hate when I see people COMPLAIN about games a game they won. (Faerie Solitaire is where I saw a lot of this) really annoyed me...

I only enter in the giveaways of the games I like / I know I`m gonna play them someday. Anyway, most of the time I got 200+points.

ps: oh, and dev ones

I used to enter every possible giveaway, but I've become much more picky. Heck, most of the time I'm sitting at 300 points with potential points being lost.

I bet you learned that since you are 'Graves' and you learned about your huge burst with q-r in early-mid game.
