Only 1.6% are "Not Received".

To add, there are many fake giveaways created to buff a users contributor rating. Making them fake too.

Maybe, but there was the huge one for Galactic Arms Race (which I think is responsible for the second biggest spike in January 2013). Could there have been a developer giveaway about twice as big as that one? O_O
I have heard that back in the murky past, bundle game giveaways were banned completely; maybe that was the day they were brought back and a bunch of people gave away all the spare keys they had saved up...?

"10-15 percent are fake giveaways" and "gifts received 96,7%"
100-96,7=5-15???

I like your attitude. I hope that the OP will read your line and learn something from it.

I don't care much about games too. I have all the games I want. I only enter for games I am genuinely interested in putting time.
Most people that joined around my team have double to triple my entries.
Some of the community is also nice, but sadly the rest are interested in profiting off this site (win keys and sell them).

Win keys and sell them? For how long are they gonna do that before they get suspended?
So, only a minority is nice, but all the rest are pirates, lamers and so on.
Interesting...

"20-25 percent are actual given games" so bundle games isn't "actual given games"? :|
And What's of the thread? criticize free giveaways? And that's when it's completely skewed off.
And I don't feel sad about the statistics, I feels sad about ungrateful people like you.

Nah, people are committing technical piracy by giving away bundled games, so I don't count them.
Unlike you though, I donate my money for the charity and keep the games for myself because they are for myself and I don't break TOS agreements that I make.
Kthxcomeagain.

There's a gift option when you buy a bundle, you know...

Yes for the majority but that alone doesn't make it 100%. You take things for granted and that's a wrong approach.
Also, every given away game is an actual game.

Do you have a source for these numbers?
Looking at the database, 1.6% are not received. This includes feedback from giveaways we've deleted. If you want to include fake giveaways that we deleted before closing, this number would skyrocket to 1.7%. If you focus on recent months, this number is on the decline, closer to 1.0%. This is a long ways from your estimated 10 - 15%.

Hmmm, when I search for Crysis 2, 100% of the games being given away are bundle games! This site is going to the dump!

i dont care about the % .. m banking 300 points as if m robbing a SG Bank which was full of points. So i get to enter a bzillion giveaways of FREE games every day !! If you complain about what u get for free.. u are at the wrong place mate. And ya you are really wrong about the fake giveaways.. considering how fast they get caught and deleted.

What if you can't buy it, because the bundle is not available anymore, you don't have a credit card, or it's just simply not supported?

About 60-65 percent are bundle games.
10-15 percent are fake giveaways.
20-25 percent are actual given games.
3-5 percent are dlc.
How sad do you feel about this?
