Well my birthday is coming up on 12/25, and it's usually a drag. To cheer myself up, I'd like to do some giveaways for the community, but I'm curious what kinds of giveaways are most popular/exciting to everyone. For example, if I have $50 USD that I wanted to spend, how best to share that with all of you? Also, be sure to comment as well (a) so I can add you to my whitelist and (b) if you have any particular requests or suggestions for titles (otherwise I'll just pick something that I want to play or have played and love).

Edit: I just want to say how awesome everyone is, and also that as I have been whitelisting y'all, I'm both humbled and inspired to see how generous a lot of YOU ALL are. The numbers on your profiles show lots of time, money, and quality invested in this community <3

What kind of giveaways does the community prefer?

View Results
One single awesome game (new/sought after/expensive)
A couple good mid-tier games
Lots of giveaways of lesser / varying quality/price

HI! I, too, think it helps to give something away when I am tempted to feel self-pitying.

I would suggest a good quality title that is very seldom given away. Like, Secret of Mana.

Uhm, hello Jesus? Just kidding. Sorry...

Can't decide between "a single expensive game" and "good mid-tier games".
"Game" has one winner, but "games" have several winners. Think I'm gonna go with games.
Like people have said, I guess the community wishlist is quite a good aggregate.

What you could do, but requires much more work on your side, is create a specific group ("whitelist group"), add all peeps from your whitelist to it, and through that you can see their most wanted games. Like I said, much more work.
Another idea; pick a user at random that you've whitelisted, go to their wishlist, check their #1 pick, go to the community wishlist and check the first 10/25/50 entries if it is in the community wishlist too. If not, pick a new user at random.

As have been said a million times, I think a couple mid-tier games from the community wishlist/your personal favorites would be best.

I don't know when the sale will be or if it ends on Christmas or what, but I definitely recommend making the giveaways in the time range of the winter sale to save yourself money and potentially be able to give away even more. :) (But also be very careful with Steam gifts if you go that route).

I don't really have any personal recommendations. If one cheap weeb game could be thrown in there, I'd appreciate it. :P Also, someone mentioned Kynseed, which looks like a fun game I think quite a few people would enjoy.

Happy early birthday! I hope it's full of enjoyment. :)

I believe a good AAA game which you really loved or want to play can be a good giveaway. 😊
