Duquality aka 2X Relaunch October 1st

Greetings everyone! Duquality aka 2X is a giveaway group that I started back on October 01, 2017, and it ran for several years until December 16, 2021 when I had to put the group on hiatus. On October 1, 2025 Duquality will be relaunching on the 8 year anniversary!! The relaunch will be taking place in a newly created group.

For those not familiar with Duquality, these are the core rules. Every month each member makes 2 scheduled group exclusive giveaways based on very positive Steam purchase reviews. Unlike many other giveaway groups, there is no ratio or value difference that you need to monitor. You make your 2 giveaways each month and you win what you win.

One of the most important things for the original launch was to make sure it had a solid foundation of core members, so this will also be one of the most important things for the relaunch as well. While there are people from the original group returning, I will be looking to bring in more people to form the core members. If this group seems like something you would be interested in being part of, please post a comment. PLEASE NOTE: Not everyone who is interested in joining will be selected to be a member. This is a smaller group, so availability will be very limited. Not everyone that is part of the relaunch has commented on this thread. In the event you are not selected for the relaunch you still have a chance to be selected in the future if a spot becomes available.

"Scheduled Group Exclusive Giveaways"

This is a very structured and organized group, so when I mention scheduled group exclusive giveaways, there is an actual giveaway schedule. Members are assigned dates for their two GAs, one GA will be at the start of the month and one is for the second half of the month. Being a solo moderator for many years this was what I preferred in order to keep track of things. It's also one of the reasons that I made a side group called Duquanity for giveaways that didn't fit into the main group's structure which you'll read about below. In the many years that Duquality was around the group ran like clockwork and had a lot of great members that followed the rules.

Side Group For Extra Giveaways

I will also be continuing the side group, Duquantity. While the main group will be in a newly created group, the side group will likely be in the same existing group. This is where any giveaways that aren't scheduled exclusive giveaways go. Members of 2X can post extra giveaways that include most things(not all) that don't meet the game/dlc requirements of the main group as shown in the "What Doesn't Qualify" section. Members can also include other groups and their whitelist in this side group. While the rules are a lot more lenient in the side group, there will still be some standards as to what can be used. Things such as "asset flips", "shovelware", "games" where the dev/publisher have inflated their prices, and games that are Hentai/sexual type games like a Sexy Furry Mothers 12(this isn't a real game) will not be something that is allowed even in the side group.

The Review System

The Steam review system has been updated and is different now. We go by "All Reviews" at the top near the dev name and to get that back you need to go into your settings in the top left corner of your steam client. Then under the account section look to the right for "Account Details" then click on that under "Store Preferences" go down to "Review Score Settings" and then change to "Include Reviews For All Steam Purchases". Once you do that it will make it so you can see "All Reviews" at the top again.
