What it felt like to win a high value game for the first time

I won Lords of the Fallen a few days ago, I was really really happy then I realized it was free so mod delete the GA I won..... I then turned off my pc and went for some basketball.....

Your poll is broken m8.

I won this high value game on SG: No Man Sky

Yeah, not won anything of significant value on SG yet. Trading, however, has netted me some real beauties!

I saw the e-mail about a received gift first and my first thought was 'wow, these phishing guys are pretty convincing'

Had great fun playing Civ V after winning that last year, but nothing will beat feeling really down and logging on to a fallout 4 win, really just turned my whole week around. Going through a bit of an unlucky phase right now but im hoping to be lucky enough to win unbox in the next few days hehe :))

Congrats on Payday 2 as well. i bought that during a steam sale but never played it for long. Its great fun though

I have had some nice wins, but truthfully...the space cat gives me a buzz each time I see him. I generally enter for some little indie games, like the rpg maker games, hogs. Lot of those are on my wishlist so will put points on them using the wishlist page. If I win, am really happy :)

I felt like i was 10 years with christmas

I got two really nice games outside of Steamgifts (BL Pre-Sequel and Pillars of Eternity) but for reasons I haven't played them yet - I was really, really happy and astonished that somebody thought I deserve them, and because of that I feel bad for haven't played them properly yet, but I still know that it was a good choice from them because I like both of them.
On SG the best win of mine would be ... I think Ori and the Blind Forest, because I could play it pretty soon afterwards and it was a really good-looking game that really catered to my tastes with hard platforming and stylish, cool graphical style. I still feel warm and fuzzy if I think about how happy I was playing it, and how grateful I am for getting it :)

5days ago, 100% odds at "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" xD

I think I was more excited about the first few wins than any ever since, regardless of "quality"
But I don't enter GAs for games I don't have an interest in.

Felt really good when I won Rocket league when I first started out on this site. Enjoyed it for a while, then I realise I should stop entering as many GAs as possible unless I really want to play the game. So now I only enter WL GAs

My first high value was Doom last October. Scared the CRAP out of me as I NEVER expect to win.
In the middle of a Dark Souls 2 session when I get a friends request. So I minimize and see we have a similar group in common. When the guy said congrats, I was confused until I went and looked. Almost crapped my pants when I saw that I won Doom. AWESOME game, but it's proven that IF I can get a new job I need a new pc finally.

payday 2 was 1 dollar a few weeks ago...

My first win was Skyrim, so I mostly felt relief at finally having won something. Of course, it meant that my status as "Most Unlucky Person on SG" was tarnished, but still,...

Firewatch few days ago, I'm actually playing right now

and BOI

I've won a fair number of good things here on SG, but then again I try to enter only for games I really want to play.
My absolute best so far has been Planetary Annihilation: TITANS

Giving away really good games is more exciting to me than winning them. I only enter wishlisted games so I rarely enter GA's much less win them. Plus I also have a huge backlog and often stare at my library trying to convince myself to play something new.... but always end up back in a sandbox title like factorio, rimworld, etc. I wish steam had a feature of 'launch random library title'... I would absolutely use it since when I start a new previously unplayed title from my library it takes me about 2 hours to select one.... that is probably sad but still true.

I was like "WTF ??? I can't believe in my eyes !!" when I won Payday 2 (just like you :D ). I still remember that night when I randomly entered a GA that was nearly ended, then 20 mins later the winning notification appeared like a charm xD

I won Sunrider Academy recently and was pretty excited. I've read that the two other games in the series are actually kind of interesting. If you're into that kind of stuff.
