Ever had a Giveaway you REALLY had hoped you would win?

the "Steam Complete Pack (Past, Present, Future)"

Spec ops the line giveaways. I enter all of them. Maybe i'll win one someday.

Why don't you buy the game if you really want it?

arma 2, then i bought it, now i want arma 3 lol

That would be red faction guerrilla, which I indeed won. Then it turns out the game glitches like hell with current gpu & drivers. Still lots of fun though!

Yes, but not on steamgifts, it happened on gameminer.
I bought bundlestars' bundle with Knights and Merchants. My friend played with it loong time ago, and highly praised it, made me genuinely intrested. But I rather give it to him - better to re-live the great moments of childhood. Then 2-3 hours later I found it out actually I have won the very game I gifted :)
Similar with FLY'N : I was really thingking about buying or not buying a groupees bundle only for this game. Then I decided I won't buy it (offer lasted a few days more) - the day after I won it, so I didn't had to buy the bundle :P

The ones that are region locked / not available in my region.

a few days ago :(

bought a mice and that shop had a giveaway running for a few days where you get a ticket for each $10 spent there. it was ps3 with red dead redemption, and i lost. i really wanted that game :o

ever since then i dont like giveaways that much (:

Sure - x-com: ufo defense ;)

Papers, please. I regret so much for not picking it up on the summersale!

Steam Greenlight Submission Fee.

Well, I enter only giveaways of games i'm interested in... so i'll ever win something my answer is yes! :)
Anyway I'd like to win Portal 2 so i could play with my friends.

yes,yes i did like every giveaway i enter

I really wanted to win a BRINK giveaway over on GG, entered it and won it - it was sweet :)

nope, I do not win

Quite a few from the wins list, most recent being hitman absolution. When i see giveaways of certain games, i always think "i hope i win this eventually", and sometimes it does happen.

giveaways of games that are on my wishlist.

Bad Rats.

Quake 4, Warhammer 40000: Space Marine, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Surgeon Simulator 2013, and Mortal Kombat Kollection.
These are the ones that I really wanted to win, and did.

Most AAA games i don't have and ofcourse skyrim

ones for my wishlist games (most of which occur very rarely)

barbie dreamhouse party and the powerpuff girls.

I both lost on those giveaways :<

Skullgirls and its DLC.

Finally got the game via trade, though.

Yes, 2,692 of them...

Nah, just kidding, just Watch_Dogs, because the game is currently VERY overpriced. Will wait till pricedrop.

Currently, I really really hope to be lucky enough to win To the Moon or Batman: AA / AC.
I want these games soo much, so I get pretty excited everytime I see such giveaways :D

As for why I don't just buy them instead... well, a game won is 100x more fun than a game bought, of course! :P
