Dang. I always feel so confident when I join giveaways.

Now don't get me wrong, I know it's completely random. I know I have as much as a chance as everyone else. Lately I've been joining giveaway left and right though, and I just can't win one! Even with dlc on some unpopular games don't seem to do the trick. Now, I'm only past 500 entries, so I'm sure people have entered a lot more before they got their first game, so this really isn't a complaint or anything.

I often enter giveaways that were created an hour ago and are set to end after an hour to have the biggest chance, since those will likely have the least amount of entries. I remember that day where everyone was putting in Sanctum TD when it was free, I entered all the ones that ended in an hour, and dang, no luck. Hopefully my day will come!

Why didn't you get your free key from gmg? Just curious since super sanctum td is pretty much worthless.

I didn't get it because I wasn't going to register to a site I would never use again. If it was a game I really wanted, it would have been a different story however.

As I said, I know how the system works. I'm not complaining or anything. I'm just eager when I actually first win a giveaway!

It is still helpful. I imagine you are still entering only the public giveaways.

I know that feeling. The odds suck, but I know I'm going to win this time!

It took about 1400 entries before I finally won a giveaway. I know what you are going through.

It's weirder if you win, and realize that you were chosen by the system out of 300, 800 or even 2000 people. It's surreal, really.

The game is actually pretty good, a lot better then AC3 in my opinion.

I won at 600 and then realised it was a bundle game I could have got cheap anyway

Keep an eye out on the forums for puzzle giveaways, or "Unlucky" giveaways (can only enter if you have no wins).

I know DavidSarif hosts a lot of "Unlucky" GAs. He's currently doing Fable - TLC. (you qualify, I checked.) Only 3 entries as it stands atm.

But I wanted that!

Always remember, the guy that was several thousand entries with no win, his first win was Skyrim legendary? edition.

If you are referring to me, I only had a couple thousand entries. Not to belittle my other wins, but that one Skyrim win still makes me happy whenever I think about it. Thanks, Delta! D
