Yes, it's been done many times before. Now it's my turn to help those who have felt the backdoor burn of Lady Luck. She's a fickle bitch, so let's see if we can sway her odds a bit.

And let's be real: public giveaway odds aren't in your favor with hundreds or thousands of entries. Join some public groups, maybe find some private groups (as long as you have giveaways to contribute), and watch the forums for giveaways.

Giveaways all end on Nov. 3rd, at midnight. Now, on to the giveaways!


There are four games to give away, and a couple more may be added soon. I will limit the total number of entries to each giveaway to 10 entrants, so everyone has at least a 10% chance to win. If there are less entrants than 10 for a particular giveaway the odds of winning will be better for those who entered.

  • Darkest Hour: A Hearts of Iron Game

3/10 Entries

  • Men of War: Condemned Heroes

3/10 Entries

  • Naval War: Arctic Circle

5/10 Entries

  • The Showdown Effect

7/10 Entries


Rules and Requirements:

  1. You must have ZERO wins. Zip. Nada. Zilch.
  2. You must have at least 1000 entries to giveaways.
  3. You may enter the giveaway of your choice, after meeting the above requirements.
  4. If you have a multiple of 1000 entries (ex. 2000, 3000, 4000 or greater) without any wins, you may choose to enter a number of the giveaways equivalent to your multiple of 1000. So, if you have 2000+ entries and no wins, you may enter two (2) giveaways of your choice. 3000+ entries and no wins = three (3) entries of your choice, and so on.
  5. You may qualify for extra entries to giveaways. If you have given away game(s) and meet the above requirements, you may choose to enter an extra number of giveaways equivalent to n/2 (rounded down) of your number of giveaways. (Ex. 2 giveaways = 1 extra entry, 5 giveaways = 2 extra entries. If you have only 1 giveaway, you still get 1 extra entry.) I will review your giveaways to confirm. Private/group giveaways with 1 or 2 entrants won't meet the cut.
  6. Check your reputation on SteamRep.com, because I will be doing so too! If you have friends that are scammers, hackers, or otherwise bad people with bad reputations, and they represent a sizable portion of your friends list, you won't be granted entry to the giveaways. If, however, you have one or two with marks against them, and I have discussed it with you, you may be granted entry to the giveaways.

YOU WILL NOT SHARE ANY OF THE GIVEAWAY LINKS WITH ANYONE. IF YOU DO, YOU AND THE NON-LEGIT ENTRANTS WILL BE BLACKLISTED. A REROLL WILL BE REQUESTED IF YOU OR A NON-LEGIT ENTRANT WINS.

The rules are strict, but fair. Okay everyone, LET'S DO THIS!

While he could, he tends to ignore most bundle games. He only goes for games he really wants to play.

True.

Even so, I'd like to applaud Felldrake for making this giveaway. I hope some unlucky people will finally get a win. )

Nice of you for doing this, but rule nr 6 is stupid in my opinion. What if there is a guy that meet all the requirements, and he is a very nice guy. But lets say his brother cheated and got a VAC ban, then you think that his rep is "tainted" because they are friends on steam, and he shouldent be friends with his own brother on steam. What is this, scientology?

I'm glad you have an opinion. Rule #6 is to prevent the unscrupulous members here from entering. I'm more concerned about a possible entrant having a lot of people on his friends list with VAC bans, scam tags, and friends that are scammers. I'll look at each entrant and use some common sense in my appraisal of their friends list. Your concern, while valid, is not how I will process entrants. I will amend the rule to reflect this.

After looking at your profile, you have zero ground on which to stand to complain about my rule. Take your self-righteous indignation elsewhere.

I did not mean to come out all whiny, I was only saying my opinion on it. I have seen this rule on several occasions and I think it is stupid to judge a person on something what an acquaintance of that person have done in the past.

I did not say that I wanted you to change it or remove it, just what I thought about it.

Altough after you editet it, it is much clearer and makes more sence, just the way it was written before made me believe you would just dismiss a person based on maybe one random friend in his friendslist.

And what does my profile have to do with anything? I was not trying to join your giveaways.

  1. passed
  2. .... well. that's it! Right now i feel even more unlucky than before. ~720 entries

Thanks, and I will!

The next time I do something like this, I'll do a range of entries below 1000 so relative newcomers to SteamGifts have a chance to snag a giveaway rather quickly.

A cutoff of 500 entries might be reasonable, although most "unlucky" groups have a cutoff of 1000 and/or 3 months of active membership.

May I enter for The Showdown Effect? I've only got about 1,600 entries, 1 giveaway, but I hope that's unlucky enough. My stats say I should have won almost 3 times.
