Negativity?

See a brand new user with a 3 copies GTA V giveaway ( while not owning the game ) ... rings A LOT of alarms :)

Not to mention promoting some shitty CS-GO Youtube channel ... thats just a bit to much :)

It's actually against the rules for people to scream "fake giveaway" without proof.
It falls under the "no calling out" rule.

You can either remind them of that or just ignore them.

Here some suggestion:
If you want people to believe you, (1) at least you have one installed in your library and/or
(2) open your gift permission and let people see gifts in your inventory

to avoid negative respond

You are completely right to do what you're doing, but do keep in mind that when there are fake giveaways, they are almost always BIG giveaways from new users with no previous giveaway history, so you can understand hopefully if some people are going to be skeptical when they see yours. I would reiterate what was said before, as a showing of good intent you might want to change your settings to allow people to see that you do in fact have the games in your inventory. If you don't have the games now while they're on sale, it's unlikely that you're going to have them later when they are twice as expensive.

Welcome to steamgifts, thanks for the chance :)

Usually when you see someone's first giveaway is a AAA full price game (also 3 copies), most people (myself included) would suspect the GA is fake, maybe because the user didn't understand how the site works, or maybe he is just trolling. Sadly most people just yell at the user without nobody being sure if the GA is in fact fake.
Since you seem to understand how the site works as I can see in the description (which a lot of people seem to skip reading it for some reason) I have no reason to not trust you, unless you are lying of course, but how would I know that? :P

So yeah... in behave of the site, sorry about that :3

Its uncalled for, but there are some red flags so some just assumed based on them.

1- You are a new user giving away a highly wanted game.
2- You don't own the game yourself.
3- You made the maximum number of giveaway slots given to new users.

You'd be surprised how many of these kind of giveaways end up actually being fakes from people thinking they're actually getting the game they are actually supposed to give away(I see Chack already covered this, I'm a slow writer :P), there's a number of them on an almost daily basis so your case is actually the exception to the rule. Leaving those comments though is against site regulations and if you want to report them it's within your power to do so(although a bit uneeded imo).

Just ignore those for the time being, after this one concludes and it gets marked as received from the winners those will drastically drop if not go extinct alltogether. Either good luck with your channel and hope you get to like the site and community after this little hiccup :P

Why not just show you have 3 gifts in your inventory? That will convince most of the people and the negativity will lower.

you are that 2nd person who appeared right after another user (who is by the way in your friendlist in steam!) has made the same GTA V giveaway with the same ammount of copies, with the SAME description, same duration, only different youtube channells. he was also crying about people disliking his video and now his giveaway is deleted. care to explain?

Adding the other user who created 3 copies is on your friend list, but with other youtube channel

Plus this text is found on them, thanks to http://cachedview.com/

Both with suspicious similar text

Yours: Please subscribe for more BIG giveaways!!

His: Please Subscribe For More BIG Giveaways!!

But maybe all planets aligned wrong, so welcome to SG.

Edit; best course of action for you and for trust in your channel, is keep going the GA, and prove those included me we were so damn wrong. I want to believe.

Assuming you are aware there are no CD-keys for Grand Theft Auto 5 that activate on STEAM, you might understand why people are doubting the giveaway is legit. On top of that, you don't seem to own any gift copies of the game, which raises even more flags that the giveaway might indeed be fake. All things considered, you have the benefit of the doubt until the giveaway ends, however when you are offering 3 copies of an AAA game as your first giveaway to promote a youtube channel with 500 subs, expect people to doubt it's real.

Hello welcome to SG.
I don't want to defend people who wrote negative/hateful comments, but you should understand that many new people who join this site don't understand it and make a giveaway (usually for GTA V) and then disappear, leaving the winner sad and disappointed. That's why people tend to be skeptic when GA like that shows up.
I apologize for them and again, welcome =). You will see much nicer comments on your next giveaway when the current one finishes successfully and people will trust you. People here are actually very nice when you give them a chance =).

subbed, dw about the toxicity -just always be true to yourself

Tip: to avoid any kind of negative comments, you should at least make few small GAs before doing big ones like this, you might not get everyone's trust. Good luck with your channel!

So you are planing to buy 3 GTA V games for 60$ each in 3 weeks?

Guys ... i need more popcorn ...

Giveaway or not, I'm kind of interested to hear from you why you did not buy the 3 copies when it was on sale. Now the sale is over, so you're going to have to pay $90 more than you would have before, if you intend to follow through on your GA. Thoughts?

Welcome to SG! I hope you will enjoy your stay here (after this first patch of negativity).

But as others have said, I'm kind of curious why you didn't buy the copies while they were on sale. You also seem to avoid these questions (not trying to be negative, but it's a reason for people to be suspicious).

Can you say to your "friend" SashoTVBG (another one with the same game, same message...) that if his giveaway is marked as non recieved (probably in 1 or 2 day). He probably will have many downvote on his channel. He need to be fast and contact the "winner" of his GA. ( https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/cYKPH/grand-theft-auto-v/winners )

Many will probably keep your channel link in hope to not have to downvote it too.

Another idea to stop the "negativity" is to do anothers giveaway with others games who end in 24-48H ;-)

Say what you will but I've seen people lie through their teeth before for whatever hidden agenda they might have. To me the proof is in the pudding so to speak. Anyway in 4 weeks we will know one way or the other.

edit: for what it's worth there was just another 3-copy GTA V giveaway from another new user that was subsequently deleted by said user

I understand the hate, still curious why and how you will get them for free..

Because In 3 weeks I'll get them for free :)

Edit: I've entered though, giving you the benefit of the doubt ^^

Can these people see my future giveaways?

Its unusual for this kind of thing to turn into such a circus, but its not unusual to see new users come in, offer massive AAA giveaways and then fail to deliver, you happened to do a similar giveaway as someone else in a very short space of time. So people are suspicious.

Benefit of the doubt has to be given to you though, I already own GTAV but I hope you come through with it, if not well, you'll have given your channel a lot of negative publicity rather than positive.

Isn't there anyway to reduce the remaining time for the giveaway? At this point I just want to giveaway the games?

welcome to sg and thanks for creating a gta 5 giveaway with 3 copies.
one of the best experiences in this place is watching idiots get suspended for calling out "FAKE GIVEAWAY!" <3
