Wishes table - Detailed how to participate

Personal Space:

We made the following changes:

Naughty List is updated the moment the monthly ticketed giveaways end, meaning if you win a shared giveaway in the middle of a month, you won't be added to the Naughty List until the current month ends, meaning if you won a game in the middle of a month you don't have to worry about missing the group exclusive ones.
Shared / free ticket giveaways are not locked by Naughty List anymore, you can enter those giveaways if you're on the List, however they are still expected to be played and they will add you to the List.
We are testing a new set of giveaways, these are exclusive for donors and they are extra runs of those giveaways that got the most entries on the previous month, this way users have another way to spend their win tickets. All the giveaways under this modality will be reruns, so no game will be exclusive to donors, they are getting a second chance instead.
Backlog penality is changed, previously you could not play backlog while having pending wins and if you have played all your wins, you got a -1 ticket penalty. Now it works like this based on your steamgift wins playrate:

<50% = Backlog not allowed
50%-75% = -2 tickets
75%-90% = -1 ticket
90%-100% = No penalty

How to make a wish:

Give me the name of a game you want to see being given away (add the link to the store too please!!)
By preference, have a retailer (example: Humble Bundle, Fanatical...)
By preference, unbundled game
By preference, low region restrictions (check SteamDB)
By preference, no Early Access, bad reviewed games or shady/dubious content
You can still wish for bundled, region restricted and/or early access, but those have less chances of getting selected

You can upvote other people wishes to give them more chances to be selected

How ticket works

There are two types of tickets

ENTRY ticket : Allows you to join one giveaway for each ticket you own. Entry tickets expire every 1st day of the month.
WIN ticket : Allows you to join two giveaways per ticket, Win tickets will only be spent if you win a giveaway and they carry over months.

Getting a ticket

Once you have at least one valid ticket you can request to join the group, there are different ways to get a ticket

Getting a wish granted gives you one (1) ENTRY ticket for the game you wished for exclusively
Granting a wish to another member by creating a group exclusive giveaway for that game, will grant you one (1) WIN ticket for games with value of 1 to 15 P, two (2) WIN tickets for games with value of 16 to 30 P, and three (3) WIN tickets for games with value over 31
Finishing the main story + reviewing / uploading 5 screenshots of a a game you won on steamgifts, will give you:
- One (1) ENTRY ticket for short games (2-8 hours)
- Two (2) ENTRY ticket for medium games (8-15 hours)
- Three (3) ENTRY ticket for long games (15-25 hours)
- Four (4) ENTRY ticket for very long games (+25 hours)
- If the user decides to get 100% achievements of the game they will be granted One (1) extra ENTRY ticket for games that fall under Short and Medium category, and Two (2) extra ENTRY ticket for Long and Very Long. The review / screenshots also becomes optional if they get 100% achievements. The extra tickets are only awarded if the completionist time ends in a higher HLTB category from the above ones.
Requesting a permanent pass will give you three (3) ENTRY tickets permanently. Meaning if you want to join more than three giveaways at a given time you will need to get a ticket in any other way (see above). At the end of the month when the new thread is open, you get them back and can use them again. Please check the FAQ regarding permanent pass eligibility.

For playtimes to qualify:

The game needs to be played within the current month to qualify with no previous playtime (idle time is okay).
For backlog games you can submit them if you meet the playrate criteria at the top of the thread
Times are based on HowLongToBeat primarily, any other source will only be considered if HLTB provides not enough information

How to get out of Naughty List?

Once you win a game in the group you get added to the Naughty List, how to get out from it? By simply beating the game you won in the event, so is up to you to decide how long you want to stay there, this is done to give others the chance to win as well and because we want to see our giveaways being played. You are not allowed to join any other group giveaways as long as you're part of the Naughty List, even if you still have valid tickets!!

All giveaways end on July 30th
