Introduction


Playing Appreciated is a group for members that like to play games they win and for giveaway creators that like to see their games getting played. This sounds simple, yet requires committent and dedication from members by filtering out games they like to play from all group giveaways and when won playing those within one month. In return members will get higher chances of winning games they want and creators will know their giveaways have a high chance of getting played. The group has more than 1000 members and over 25000 historical giveaways.

Group rules


  • You need to set and keep your Steam privacy settings for My profile and Game details public (example);
  • You will play all giveaways you win via this group within one month;
  • When creating a giveaway it is recommended to include a small group rule reminder in your giveaway, something like: "This is a Playing Appreciated giveaway, by joining you commit to playing this game within a month when won.".

How to join


  1. Make sure you did not violate any SteamGifts rules in the last month;
  2. Comment one of the two options to enter the group in this discussion:
    • Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play. The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements. Comment with the name of the game before you start playing it and comment again when you finished playing it. Please upload some screenshots to Steam as well.
    • Option 2: Supporting the cause by creating a group giveaway of a game that you would like to see getting played by other group members within a month as soon as your membership request was approved. The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts).
  3. Press "Request To Join" on our group page;
  4. Wait for us to approve your request, we'll always reply on the comment you have made in this topic.

Final notes


More information and a FAQ is available via the Steam group. Current group giveaways can be found here on SteamGifts. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions!

Hi :) After winning you have a month to play it, so that should be fine if your passionate about the game! ^^ Invitation send.

When you say 'play within a month' does it matter if you don't complete the game within that month? I usually play a few games at the same time so longer games might take more than a month to finish.

I've recently been making an effort to play and finish games I've won here so joining a group based on doing just that sounds perfect!

That doesn't matter, if it is clear from the stats that you have been giving the game a decent try that's enough. More about this on the group page, I've just invited you :)

Don't know what happened to Steam, but it's the third time in a row someone tells me that the invitation sent, but there's nothing.
Please re-send it.

Heads-up

It looks like I've hit some sort of non-friends invitation limit, therefore invitation may take a few hours up to 48 hours up to six days extra until the limit is cleared (and I hope it does). As a workaround I'll add you on Steam so I can send you a group invite as friend (that still seems to work). I'll try every couple of hours if the normal inviting is working again. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

Regular group invitations are working again :)

I like this concept, it's a cool way of incentivizing people to be selective about which giveaways they join. I'd appreciate an invite.

Hi there! I dont know if this is still valid, I would like to join to this group.

Edit after reading your last comment about "Heads up": Should I add you as friend then? I can wait, its okay for me.

Hi :) It's still valid, I've added you as friend so I can invite you. Steam doesn't say how long it takes, I'm reading stories that it can take up to six days, so decided to just add people as friend then (until I reach some sort of limit on that too? xD)

Group sounds definetly interesting.
But since I lately join wishlist GAs only (with some exceptions) since I do not have time for anything, I most likely won't join or create GAs for now.
I'm not in a hurry, so just invite me, if your limit resets ;->

Thanks :) Feel welcome to jump in and join/create when you have time. I'm adding you as friend, since it might take a longer time for the limit to reset (and when it does I don't want to reach it within a few days again ^^). Hope you don't mind!
