I guess what i'm trying to say is I don't get it. Why give things away if you paid for it? What does the user giving away the game get in return for giving it away?

I'm not saying its a bad thing but I just don't get it I guess. I can see developers doing it to get some players to tell friends about the game but that's it...

So they don't have generosity where you're from? o_O

0 anything. The one who receives the game gives 0 anything (anything tangible at least). The gift giver gets the satisfaction of giving something away. That's really the point of the site.

I don't know if they get anything back except for good morals of being a nice person. As for a poor student from a third world country, even though I didn't win anything yet, I'm appreciative of the fact that at least I can have a try at having something.

I'm not sure completely how the levels work since I'm new, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with giveaways. I've given away two games in my 2(?) days here and it's just the goodest feelings making peoples happy. Or something... I don't know what I'm saying any more, sorry...

I do it because I know it makes people happy, and I like making people happy. That's why I give away a game every Sunday in my group. I give most winners something from their wishlist. If they're happy, I'm happy.

Why even ask this question it is a simple answer.

Just because they can.

Not all people want something in return for giving,if that is how the world worked it would be a bigger shit hole then it already is.Giving is different for everyone.

I give back because i like to give and it makes me feel good,also i usually give away games i really do not want and someone else might want,it keeps my game collection from getting fill with useless junk as i do not collect virtual items
