Gifting on Steam

I once gifted this Fortix to a random person in my friend list.

i give games to friends if i know they will play it one day and like it

i give more to friends than on sgifts

i don't understand this thread

I do it, other people do it. Hell, people do it outside of Steam. I've sent various console games to people in other countries myself. Shipping something to the UK often costs more than I spent on the games. :P

Yes, I do. Also I know others too, so faith in humanity isn't lost.

Yep. Making people happy ftw <3

Yes.

I have given l4d2 to a friend on christmas :p

I gift games to my friends a lot, actually. And they gift not only me, but others as well and I'm sure them others gift as well. So this original idea isn't completely gone I think.

with my first job payment i bought a copy of killing floor for me and since i lost the chance to buy another copy as a gift for my friend (it was 75% off) i bought him a copy of gmod

I can see your point,but it's not just about the profile from steam gifts.I mean,look at my profile,do i really look like a guy who has alot of money? Or the type of guy who only creates giveaways to keep his "profile clean"? I don't have alot of money,all the games that i have on steam i have them because other people didn't need them so they helped me (gave them to me).But when i see an offer like humble bunddle has,why wouldn't i buy that for 1$ and gave those away for other people? And you know that bundles are not affecting your steam gifts profile in no way. It's just the simple fact that other people are probably more poor than me and want to play those games,or some of them might be kids who don't have a credit card to buy them,so i buy those bundles only for the fact of giving,because,as i said,the profile remains the same,so you can't say that people are doing this for just some figures on a page,think that you are giving somebody a joy when you make a giveaway and a person wins,don't think about the steam gifts profile.

I have given away games to friends just because I can countless times :P

I don't really gift games to my friends.... I FORCE THEM TO PLAY THE MOST AWESOME GAMES I HAVE... seriously I bring over games to my friends houses and make them play whatever game I found absolutely breathtaking/ just plain awesome!

I pretty much single-handedly support a friend's gaming addiction by continually buying her games whenever they are on offer.

I do that.

I can't really say that I give for no reason, I won R.I.P trilogy key on another gift site and gave it to my friend since I can't put it on give-away(in case the key doesn't work).

Already gifted my friends and random guys that i met on the internet out of SG. Recently gifted, Dungeon Defenders, War of the Roses, Just Cause 2, CS:GO, 3x L4D2 to 3 guys (so they could play with me) and 1 copy of Trackmania 2 to my best friend (for 2 reasons; he gave money to buy the SR3: Full package when i had no money and didn't want anything back and 2nd he loves Trackmania as much i love too).

I guess i'm just a good guy who like to make people and friends happy.

A boring story, i know right!

I give games to online friends on their birthdays if I know them well enough

Yeah, of course.

Yes I do but not for people that I just know from the internet ,only to friends from REAL LIFE !

I gave a game once for a friend. He never played it...

i gift games sometimes but rarely on steam gifts i mostly gift my friends my games don't really like the idea of some random guy who might be an ass just getting my game for free i still do it tho some people on here really have no other options so

Ya, I like it when they get happy.

I can't even afford games for myself, there's no way I could buy gifts for my friends for no reason.
