I've got quite a few keys for games I already own or aren't interested in lying around and thought it would be nice to give them to people who have the games wish listed rather than just drop them. Easier said than done though.

I've been looking at profiles of people who posted recently or looking at profiles of those in the chat, then randomly sending a friend request. It's a bit like cold calling though. I doubt I'd respond to a random person trying to add me either actually. Also a bit time consuming.

In my eyes, I'm a Santa-like figure. Checking lists then trying to sneak into houses to leave presents. Not a creepy stalker, looking through your things and sending messages about how I've been watching you!

What do you think?

Edit:
Getting late, so Santa will continue tomorrow. Managed to catch quite a few people, I guess ̶H̶e̶r̶k̶o̶3̶̶ a̶n̶d̶ Riedy is offline though. I haven't given your wishlist gifts to other people though, add me tomorrow if you're interested.

Will try and catch a few more people tomorrow, still got a few more keys to gift!

Am I creepy or kind?

Don't look through my profile and contact me, Creep!
Oh! Free stuff? have a good poke around

Not creepy at all. I have a steam friend that does it all the time (you know who you are) and its a very kind gesture. If you are worried though, just write a comment on their profile :)

edit: plus if someone has a public profile its because they want or don't mind people seeing it. Theres always a choice to go private if you don't want people poking around

A santa should remain secret, otherwise beggars will appear. x) It's good that you're doing it though. I don't want anything, just saying.

Definitely kind. It's very nice when someone is willing to sacrifice CV to give the game(s) to people who have them on their wishlist,

That's exactly what I ask myself when I talk to women :p And also why I don't talk to women much :p

On a more serious note, I nearly always accept any friend request. What confuses me/creeps me out is when they don't talk to you whatsoever afterwards. If you don't say anything to me after a week or so I'll remove you again.

Oh! Free stuff? have a good poke around - sexual joke ftw!
Don't look through my profile and contact me, Creep! - tsundere ftw!

combine the two in either order and results are funny too! two.

it ain't creepy at all though. only annoying depending on person. for me exa. a friend a year+ ago won like $40K on that nonsense cs go knife skin betting stuff. so of course buncha idiot youngun's tried adding me to get to him. its almost like trying to call a person. 'do i recognize this number or pick up the phone..."

Well glad you are doing this even though it can take a lot of time..

Sadly i do not upkeep my wish list anymore it is to much work to slog through it if i add games i want...

Anyhow on the subject of creepy it got me thinking ...if a creep invites a creep is that normal or super creepy?

I don't find it creepy at all.:)

I find it easier to leave my Profile Wall open to comments so the person can leave a message there if they wish. It makes it easier for someone to accept, and I always post a comment on their Wall if they have it available so they know the reason for my sending them a friend request.:)

Merry Christmas!:)

I imagine it to be quite time consuming, but it gives a personal touch. Have a Merry Christmas yourself.

Kind. Not creepy as long as:

  1. No advertising (mlm / herbal stuffs / cult / new age, etc)
  2. No flirting

I think Santa is creepy. I cried as a kid when I first saw my grandma dressed as Santa (didn't know it was her).
As for random adds, I don't like those. It's good to leave a comment on their profile or in an old giveaway before. Wonderful idea though :)
