Welcome to this years 'What are you trying to win lately' thread! The rules are the same as Last year:

Post the name of the game(s) you've been entering the most giveaways for recently, but have been unable to win.
Then, if someone with a spare key for it is feeling generous, you might just get a nice little Christmas present :)

EDIT: Please only list the games you're trying to win in a single post, as otherwise it may look like you've been ignored even when you've been gifted something already. Don't be greedy.

That's it folks, time to close the thread! Was great seeing the turnout this year, especially from people willing to give to others. :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I've been looking for Crash Bandicoot™ N. Sane Trilogy and the Spyro trilogy. My childhood! I believe both have been bundled, but I'm not 100% sure, sorry if not.
Also just recently found out about Wasteland 3, Looks like it'd be right up my alley!
Happy holidays to all!

It's cute, it's cozy, it's relaxing, it has heart & soul and a nice art style. And it has 99% positive reviews. You could read some of those if you want more reasons.

Thanks for the offer! I do think a German key would activate on my account, but maybe it would be the censored version? No need to find out though; I managed to find myself a key just yesterday! Have a blueheart for the offer, really appreciated!

The developers made a pledge not to spit into the faces of the people who supported them and made the creation and continued support of this stellar game possible.

eh I dont think putting a game on sale or bundling is spitting on the face of old customers. For exaple I bought terraria at full price long ago and btd6 and have many hours in them and i dont feel slighted that I could have gotten btd6 for free or terraria for like 2.50, but I think its also fine if the never put it on sale as its their game so their choice.

I know that's not your point but the last time you could Terraria for less than 5$ was back in 2016.

Game prices generally speaking deteriorate so quickly. I've seen well known Indie Games like Lovely Planet 2 being given away for free just 4 weeks after release. And release buyers who are basically the people who finance the games we all like to play are constantly being ripped off AND end up with an inferior product so it's refreshing to see a developer who is convinced of the quality of their game and values it properly.


Edit: I mean... you have played over 1.100 hours of Factorio. You must know better than I do it's easily worth 30 bucks 😅


Edit 2: My bad 😅 I mistook your general playtime for the one in Factorio. But for Factorio it's wouldn't be unusual... I've just briefly checked some reviews and I've seen at least two dozen ranging between 1k hours to 3k even up to 9k.

If you enter mostly public giveaways, expect your first win after 1000-2000 entries.
If you want better chances look for private invite only giveaways in the discussion or groups to join. Please read the rules of those groups before posting in their threads.

Your account is fresh, but once you have a lot of entries you can also look at the "luck per month" metric in your profile. It will calculate if you should have statistically been lucky or not (means it takes into account if you enter public giveaways with lots of entries or private ones with little).

I'm at -2, meaning I could realistically have won two times by now, but just have been unlucky.

1 year ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Once you start buying bundles it can easily become an obsession 😅

First it starts out as a nice little surprise every Tuesday wondering what the next Humble Bundle might bring (Bundles also used to be better as the market oversaturated), then you start buying games from genres you don't usually enjoy because they are highly reviewed and they're soo cheap. Then there's collecting for the sake of collecting, nostalgia collecting the games from your childhood when they pop up on Steam, collecting for trading cards, removed game collecting... Buying Bundles with games you already have and enjoyed with cool Community events here on SG in mind. OCD, FOMO...

Getting games for as cheap as you can basically becomes a meta game. People even used to price snipe waiting for new Humble Bundle to come out because BTA prices (Beat the average) used to fluctuate quite a lot in the first few hours when a new Bundle came out.
It's basically a rabbit hole.

😅

Comment has been collapsed.

Game collecting is indeed a rabbit hole. For me though, I am more impressed by you guys gifting to others without exceptions of getting anything back in 1:1 ratio. Even though many bundles have great BTA value, it is still a lot of money when you add all the puchases together, not to mention you guys spend the money not for self pleasure, but for the others' happyness. I am rather stingy, so it is difficult challenges for me - slow growth but meaningful challenges.

isnt it expensive though?

1 year ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Maybe not as expensive as some other hobbies but it definitely adds up over time.
But ultimately it wasn't so much the money but rather the time investment to keep track of all the bundles and grab every freebie that made me dial back my Steam collecting significantly. Now I only buy when I see truely exceptional Bundles which have become rarer and rarer anyway, like 2 or 3 a year.

But when I see Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls with some other stuff for 8 bucks or the whole Resident Evil franchise, of which I previously had none, I still can't resist 😅

Long time no see master dwarf 😄

It started out as a Halloween-avatar, only ment for a brief time but then there was this Sony or Sonic game showcase which gave some free profile drops, one of them this sweet, animated avatar frame with blue light twirling around the picture.
I really liked that frame because it goes so perfectly with the Police Corgi 😅 and I've had it for like 2 years now so I guess it's permanent.

I buy basically every bundle that has any games I think I might want to play some day, but only redeem a few (gotten increasingly picky as my Steam library has grown). As a result they add up fast. The extra keys either end up being used in trades, or are given away at random to people who would like to play them (talk about them in threads, have them on their wishlist, etc.) :)

Do you guys trade games here or you have a private group or something? I tried to trade at Reddit, many outcome are fine, but still got token advantage to force-trade. Sometimes there are people pushing to trade cheap games (games always in every bundle) to trade with rare games... The energy of verifying the trade consumes too much of my time that I decided to just not trade online anymore.
