What is your SteamGifts White Whale?

Currently, it's The Excavation of Hob's Barrow.
I don't want to get the whole HB bundle for a single game. Pretty cheap of me tbh, but to be fair, I've been fattening up my backlog for years and now I'm trying to exercise some restraint

Is there a way to see which one is the game whose giveaways I have entered the most?

Sorry for probably not correct English, I am not a native speaker.

Still hoping for Timberborn here on SG. Been looking for this game for a while but it's too expensive here lol

Anyway... I am fish lol been trying for months and months

Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga ; tried to win it 72 times; didn't happen :'-)

Thanks to this script here, I can finally check mine. Lul. Do note it probs isn't all of them since that will take more than 20 mins to get done. But within 1000 pages, the ones over 200 are below. Not sure which fits the shows up often though.

Dead Effect (5P) (Repeated 377 times)
Murdered: Soul Suspect (20P) (Repeated 345 times)
Killing Floor 2 (30P) (Repeated 311 times)

Using the same script as mentioned above (script) it seems I've been wanting

Likely a great game.

EDIT: Updated with already owned games. I know the topic is "games now won", but I've left the ones I won as well.

I probably don't have many entries on these but lately tried to get:

Victoria 3
Eastward
Iron Lung
Patrick's Parablox
Zoeti
Rising Hell

my biggest ones are Borderlands 3 with 79 entries (of 311 giveaways) and Baba is You with 60 entries (of 251 giveaways)

Using the script I found mine. My most-entered ever was Train Valley (178 giveaways), but I own it now. As far as games I still do not own it is close:

Evil Bank Manager (112 times)
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut (111 times)

The older Walking Dead titles plus Road 96 probably.
I don't see many giveaways made for them anymore so not winning these seems about right.

Thanks to that script by meneldur I found out that my most entered game was The Town of Light (180 times), but I already own that one (got it as a random drop from lootboy funnily enough).
So right now my "white wales" appear to be Cook, Serve, Delicious! (115 times) and Going Under (113 times). I totally get the second one since I've been trying to get it for a while, but no clue of how the first one found its way there.

OK, thanks to the excellent script I could find out the official white whales! My top 10:

Rise of Industry (Repeated 193 times)
Tannenberg (Repeated 179 times)
Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy (Repeated 178 times)
Paradigm (Repeated 172 times)
Moonlighter (Repeated 167 times)
Mafia III: Definitive Edition (Repeated 153 times)
Dead In Vinland (Repeated 150 times)
Sniper Elite V2 (Repeated 140 times)
The Witness (Repeated 135 times)
Hyper Light Drifter (Repeated 131 times)

I tend to enter giveaways here for games I missed when they were in bundles which are overpriced elsewhere. Otherwise, I get the bundles and post the spares on SG or somewhere else. That said, whenever I see Deadlink on here, I try for it, because it was a rather expensive indie title that was in a few bundles for less than $5 but at the wrong time for me. The game looks pretty badass.

Mine was Borderlands 2 Game of the Year, still eager to join every available giveaway 🎯

It looks like I own nearly all of them because I ended up just buying them most of the time. (:
Next up is a tie between DmC: Devil May Cry and Blazing Chrome at well over 100 entries and far beyond the next spot.

According to the script :
Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game
Golden Light
A Plague Tale: Innocence

According to the script its:

I have already taken some of these games to EGS. And some of them turned out to be not what I thought, so I removed them from the wish list)))

I already mentioned before that due to being a neophyte here i don't really have a white whale but honestly seeing the different lists was fun enough that i wanted to do the same and with the newly created script making it really easy to get the data, here's me showing off mine above 30s. I'll admit, i'm def a bit surprised at some of these.

Metal: Hellsinger 52
Iron Danger 47
Mad Max 46
Borderlands 2 Game of the Year 45
DOOM Eternal 44
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery 42
Demon Turf: Queens Edition 33
Just Ignore Them 31

Of course, i've removed the ones I've won already from this list but Afterimage at 49 was a real close second.

Okay, got me curious so I had to check it out too. These are some of the highests (of those that I haven't managed to acquire):

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince 185
Raiden V: Director's Cut | 雷電 V Director's Cut | 雷電V:導演剪輯版 176
Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy 168
Spiritfarer®: Farewell Edition 148
Ryse: Son of Rome 141
Life is Strange Complete Season (Episodes 1-5) 138
Tales of Berseria™ 137

Entries from 10 to 3351.
Never win one.

After pulling statistics, here are the three games which are my current white whales. Criteria:

• At least 1 entry in the last three months
• Includes all entries since joining SG
• Each entry counts as 1, even if there are multiple copies

And the list is:

1. SteamWorld Heist (316 entries)
2. Party Hard (239 entries)
3. Mountain (225 entries)

All of these games I have entered at least 200 times, and I have not been successful to win them.

If anyone wants me to pull the results by number of copies, let me know.

So, I tried that script, and was kinda surprised. I thought I'd have more games with 100+ entries, but it was only these:

Dominating the skies (192 times)
MIND: Path to Thalamus Enhanced Edition (165 times)
inMomentum (160 times)
Cultures - 8th Wonder of the World (140 times)
Truck Racer (130 times)
Carrier Command: Gaea Mission (127 times) won
