The dilemma: SteamGifts and friends

either quit steamgifts or quit friends, its up to you

You seriously care about CV more than friends? .__.

I'm sure you aren't the only one, but no, not everyone are like that, not even close. (at least I hope so)

I don't have any irl friends on Steam so that makes it easier. However, I'll still gift Steam buddies the odd game if it's on their wishlist and I come across a spare.

I've actually only done it twice since joining SG, which wasn't that long ago, but I think I'll continue to do so.

Is it a multiplayer game you can play coop/team-based match/quest with your friend(s)? If yes, I highly recommend giving it to them to play together with you. However, you may consider the option of making a private giveaway to your friends only, but that does sound a little rule-breaking.

I only really know a couple of people that I really consider friends on Steam. Most of the people on my lists I have never met (and almost certainly never will). I've given some mates bundle keys I have spare, and I probably always will give them a key every now & again. Anything non-bundle goes on here or Playblink though.
