Do you play all the games you win on SG, or do you win/enter for games you know you'll never play?

"I only enter for games I know I want to play. I've played some of my wins and will play the rest as soon as I have the time."
Having time for all wins might be in the far future...
I plan to work on my backlog around christmas, but you know how plans usually work out :/

Well, the poll options are quite detailed xD

I only enter for games I know I want to play.
I've played most of my wins and will play the rest as soon as I have the time.

I think that's the longest poll question I've ever seen

I only enter for games I know I want to play. I've played some of my wins and will play the rest as soon as I have the time.

Picked that one, but in my case "some" is a pretty small number. Damn backlog ;_;

I normally enter wishlisted games so I will play them at some point! Out of my 10 wins, I've completed one game, half way through another, played a little of one and hope to put many hours into it and 100% it, one I need to start since I won it 1 week ago, one crashed when I first played it so I need to wait for a better update and the others... I helped to get CV/or noone entered xD

lol, my option ain't there. As in, "still hoping to get lucky one day" but I only enter those giveaways for games I actually want to play...

Good games I only enter if I intend to play them (aka wishlist games), but I also enter for bad games if they have trading cards just for the trading cards.. if I notice people in the comments who really want those games though, I don't enter.. should I feel bad about this behavior? :-o

I only enter for games I know I want to play. I've played all of my wins so far. maybe 1 or 2 couldn't play because of time

I've been trying (note the 'trying' part) to play games in order as i have won them, its a good way of choosing what to play, let the SG RNG choose the game, i only enter for things i know i will play so its not too bad, so far i've 100% most of the games i've played from the won ones and i hope to keep on it, playing through talos at the moment and the whole star challenges are giving me a headache :D

ninja edit: oh yeah, kinda forgot to add that i am a bit of an achievement whore so it takes a while to progress through the backlog depending on the game

I only enter for the ones I want to play and will play the games I win sooner or later.

As for people who win my giveaways, I don't keep track on who ends up playing the games. What gets me more is the people who enter the giveaways and don't even activate the games after winning, just regift/trade/sell/whatever them away. That's what has been bumming me out lately. Maybe I should up the level requirement on my giveaways to 5, maybe there's more honest people on that level.

Honestly, I used to enter any interesting giveaway and tried to enter as much small giveaways as possible, so after I won a few games I knew I dont want to to play, I decided to enter mostly my wishlist, even if that means I will sometimes have lots of unspent points. I will be much happier when I see the "you have won a gift" screen and realize that I won fallout 4, then to see that screen more ofter, get happy and then be sad because I won a crappy game

The thing I love about the GAs is that I have found out about many interesting games that I would like to give a try. I enter for games I have at least a little interest in (though admittedly I should make my threshold of interest a little higher) and I actually do intend to play. Personally, I'm more about the achievements than the cards so that's often a deciding factor.

I fully intend to play my recent wins (plus much of my additional backlog) in the coming weeks. I have been getting ready for some travel but once I'm settled in I'll have nothing but free time for the better part of a month to play my backlog. My intention is to play at least half the games in my library and the finish/100% at least half of that (so, you know, finish at least a quarter of my games) The time frame I have in mind is to accomplish this in about 3 or 4 months. I guess I'll see where I am at the end of March :P

I'm entering only into games that I want, and recently managed to beat pretty much all my wins :D

I haven't played in 10 - 5 are on "I will play" list and sadly 5 are on "maybe I will play if I will have too much time" list (there are few games - like AC:1 - which I wanted to play when I joined the site more than 2 years ago, but now I'm not interested in them anymore).

Even bundled games can make someone who wants to play them really happy - in last month I had one winner who won something wishlisted on his birthday and one who was happy, because game had subtitles in both his native language and english, so he will be able to learn it while playing. So I don't really "like" people who enters to only have +1 to steam or farm cards (esp if they already have few thousands games on steam).

I intend to play (or at least try) all my wins. There don't seem to be enough hours per day to get around that though.
So new year's resolution is to not enter GAs unless they are on my wishlist, and to not buy bundles unless they have wishlisted items.
That should help keep the backlog from growing too much.
(Although XCOM 2 will probably make sure it won't be shrinking for a while either, when that comes out ...)

As I said before, I usually only enter giveaways for games I have on my wishlist. If I haven't played them yet, I will :D

I only enter for games I am actually interested in. But as I do have a life (and SG is addicting as hell) I don't play as much as I used to. I'll play them all - each and every win as well as each and every game in my library - sooner or later.

I used to enter all group giveaways because I didn't want to waste my point unused. I used to spend all of it and prevented it to reach 300. Until I won a non-game, but a documentary video which I regret joined it. I watched it though, and it contains NSFW thing -_-
Since then, I only entered for the game I want to play and sometimes featured giveaways.
Well, because of it I won Shadow of Mordor which turned out to be a great game. I entered the giveaway without knowing the game at all.
It is my top priority of games I have to finish. If I was as picky as I am right now, I guess I still don't even know about Shadow of Mordor.

Some featured giveaway I won still untouched though, especially those without cards. I guess I have to take a look about it and maybe write a review.

What a vote! It's nice to see detailed options.
I voted to "I enter for games I know I won't play (library +1 and/or card farming), but I've played some of the the good games I've won."

I tend to manage my wishlist very tight, either favorite franchise or localized ones or games I already have in other platform to remind me to buy someday. The reason is to prevent my friends on Steam from gifting to me(it was some burden to me because I tend to repay their good will, it has no end only remains empty wallet, hahaha) and I don't like Steam's spam mails. So it does not have many indie games nor early access. Because of real life, my backlog becomes longer and longer nowadays. :(
As a level 7 member, I haven't played even all my giveaways through yet!
Anyway, I have enjoyed giveaway games to people who may(may not) want until now, so I shamelessly enter games I know I may not play though I try to play some of them.

It's hard to know for a fact you'll like a game with out playing it. I've always thought I'd like something, or at least find some humor in it's awfulness in some cases. Pretty sure I've played everything I've won, at least a little. I know I've not played all the games I actually paid for though lol

i enter everything and only win the games i want to play.

it's magic <3

View attached image.

I only enter for games I want to play, mostly from my whitelist and the rest are games that I didn't know before but I find them interesting. The "problem" is I already have a huge backlog and maybe it's not realistic to think that I'll be able to play all the games I have on my library, but I want to believe I'll be able!
Anyway, my intention is to play every game I've won here although I don't know when I will! =)

At first I entered for everything, and got a few games I didn't really intend to win, and a couple of bad ones (that's my fault / noone's) - but then I realized that I really should enter for games I WANT to play, or at least try - since then I spend much more time with 300 points than not. I plan to play the vast, vast majority of my library (So far I found like 3-4 terrible games and a few that I couldn't get to work, or was just way too boring - but I plan to play every single one)

I played some of them but my wins are good for me so i will definetly play them in future. And i might add Murdered Soul Suspect is pretty high on my list so maybe after i am done with Don't Starve's new dlc i will play it.

Well, the intetion is there...
Hmm, out of 57 games I won:
Completed: 5 = 9% (ouch)
Completed previously off steam (and wanted to have them on steam as well): 4 = 7%
Tried but didn't like (won't play again): 5 = 9%
Played (more than just tried, but didn't finish, either on the backlog or a game with no real ending): 7 = 12%
Tried (and added to backlog): 11 = 19%
Yet to try: 25 = 44% (Q_Q)
