[Group idea] DLC chasers

Not necessarily a problem although that made me think that way we would have to make a rule that each month everyone would have to giveaway not the same thing. Like if Humble Bundle made another software bundle with dlcs for 1 dollar, and again steamgifts would be flooded with it ;p

The problem could be for you, since such bundled dlc from tier one - I personally just buy them and skip buying a soda that day ;p If it was from tier 2 (like in Humble Bundle, indiegala, bundlestar system), I don't see a problem. If its worth would be below 2 dollars (unlikely but..), you could do two copies giveaway.

I think the tie is right, steam is now doing weekly promotion every weak and its really easy to buy cheap dlc on steam http://store.steampowered.com/search/?category1=21&os=win&specials=1

While looking through your profile, I noticed I should've put Pinball FX2 on this - this game has shitload of dlc's...

just decided to write it down as one of the things since its easier to find dlcs for people who subscribe to this.

Biorąc pod uwagę że masz więcej gier niż ja, napewno masz takie same braki w dlc jak ja. Zrobiłem sobie wishlista z samych dlc i wyszło mi 1700 pozycji ;p

I've used to participate in few giveaway groups in steamgifts like Elite Giveaways and Reborn and just copied it a bit, but still thinking this through. Just came up with the idea after i finally made my wishlist to contain only dlcs so I wouldn't miss any giveaway of that on steamgifts and the number was 1700...

I have similar feeling. At this point, I don't even feel like starting the game unless I win/get cheap all the dlcs first, since I feel like I am playing an incomplete game...

it really feels like all developers/publishers decide what will be a dlc and what will be in a game way before they even make the game. And almost all indie creators puts soundtracks as dlc...making almost 50% all games steam games have at least one dlc.

12 people (more or less) in, there is a chance we could reach a 30. When we do, I will notify you :)

definetely if someone is giving away a game for a game that is for free on steam, it would be best to make everyone subscribe to the forum group and make note that they need to install the main game to join, or perhaps erase the "Don't show DLCs for games you don't own" alltogether for best results.

I would be bit disilussioned as well if I were you, but same as you - most of my wins come from group giveaways. Thats why I would love to have you in the group once I get enough interested people.

I don't think it would be that hard ;p I stalked your profile for recent games a second ago, you have Civ6 that comes up with new dlc every month lately, then dishonour 1 had several if you don't have them already and more than few of your games have soundtrack dlcs , like Headlander. If you were to wishlist all dlcs, I think you would do it in 5 minutes and got 50 or more (Rocket League alone would make it easy).

thats actually a big pity. I will explain why I would encourage it - when you enter a group info on steamgifts, you can check out its "wishlist". You can then check how many people wishlisted specific DLC and if the number is bigger than 5, you can feel safe that your giveaway will count in the steamgifts system.

Its simply convenient.

Definetely a problem I stumbled myself more times that I am proud of. Thats what motivated me to wishlist all the DLCs - if I see a DLC giveaway on the main page, but I don't see it in wishlist page, its probably a dlc I already have (I sometimes rush entering giveaways so I can use up all my points before their reach 300p) and can immediately put hidden status on it.

Not gonna lie though, wishlisting all those dlcs took me the same amount of time I needed to binge watch tv series "Black Adder".

I have 3273 games and 922 DLCs, but I decided to wishlist all DLCs (and only DLCs) I don't have and that number reached 1783 (And I still from time to time notice I missed some, so I'm sure I missed around 200 dlcs). Seriously, I could literally have almost 1:1 ratio to game:dlcs at this point in my account if I bought them all.

But the industry won't change, DLCs are here to stay.

Could've also added Stardock Entertainment (Fallen Enchantress, Sins of Solar) and Avalanche Studios (Just Cause series) there as well as they like to make a list of cosmetics to increase their profits, but I knew that the list was long enough as it was ;p

thanks for pointing out this group. I shall post in there to see if anyone would be interested. Great idea :)

Do we make a waiting list, or will you select some people based on SG and Steam profiles, or how will this go, just curious?

I think with steam giving weekly specials every week now, its the perfect time to try such group. Just need to be patient and stock up.

As for sales - yes, this is what I hope we could achieve - I want people to have easy time doing it. Although at this point all I can come up with is ask people to subscribe to a thread in group forum and post any new finds.

I have mad respect for that. Invest in your university so you can have a 10k monthly job..unless its philosophy, then do what you love ;p

Thanks for the bump :) Number 300 of games felt right and achievable. With the amount of 1 dollar humble bundles and free crap we take for steam trading cards, its actually pretty easy to create several +100 game accounts now in matter of seconds and for 5 dollars max. As such, wanted to limit to users who definetely have a big incompete dlc list. Even at 249 games you have, I am sure the number of dlcs you don't have for your games could easily reach 100.

at the very least, each time you check your wishlist on steamgifts, you will not miss the dlc giveaways that usually have bit less entries ;p
