HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 2X!!!

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.

Duquality's SG profile
https://www.steamgifts.com/group/N86KO/duquality

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. Based on current members(29) there will be 58 quality giveaways throughout the month.

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.

Membership Requirements To Join And Stay In Duquality

  • You must be at least level 6 on SG.
  • You need to maintain good status on SG as well as Steam.
  • You need to have a recent giveaway history of games that fit the groups giveaway requirements.
  • You need to make your 2 giveaways each month and deliver them within 7 days as stated in the SG guidelines.
  • No begging for entries.

What Qualifies For A Scheduled Exclusive Giveaway

  • Each member is given 2 dates, these are the dates that your two giveaways end on.
  • Each giveaway has a minimum duration time of 5 days and a max of up to 13 days in advance.
  • Every giveaway is exclusive to Duquality. No whitelist or other groups.
  • Games need to be worth at least 10P on SG.
  • Games used for GAs need to have least 150 Steam Purchase Reviews(Located above the game's release date) with a Very Positive(80% or better) rating.
  • Each giveaway needs at least 5 entries to count towards your 2 monthly GAs.
  • Giveaways that are heavily region locked can't be used. Please reach out if you wonder if a game can be used.
  • If you chose to use a game with DLC the base game needs to follow the guidelines above.
  • All other giveaways besides your scheduled ones go in the side group.

Example of the schedule: You received the 21st. You can create the GA anywhere between the 8th and the 17th and have it end on the 21st.

What Doesn't Qualify

  • Any games listed on the SG No Value list (**)
  • Visual/Kinetic Novels, Dating Sims, Hentai/Sexual Games (Examples are Steins;Gate, Date Everything, Koikatsu Party)
  • Hidden Object Games (Examples are Big Fish games, Artifex Mundi)
  • VR Games
  • Movies/FMV
  • Software
  • DLC by itself

"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.

Hello! I recognize you from RGG. I really do appreciate your interest in the group, but I have to stand by the rules I've created. When you reach level 6, if you are still interested in joining, please come back and leave a comment and we'll review things then.

Hello again. As far as recruitment goes, the only members who have been decided on to join the group so far are the returning members and anyone that I've personally invited, many of which haven't commented on this thread. Everyone else is on a list that I'll be evaluating and then making a decision on closer to recruitment time.

After looking over your profile, the GAs you've created recently are heavily region locked, and these aren't something that would be allowed in Duquality. You can come back later down the road if you wish and we can reevaluate things again.

Hi, no problem. Actually, my region does not allow me to send gifts to most countries, and this was my first time creating a giveaway like this. Before that, I mainly purchased and shared global keys. I also went through the group rules and I know that heavily region-restricted giveaways are not allowed. If I had been invited to the group ,I would not have made such region-restricted giveaways in the first place (as I read all rules). No worries though, I completely understand your decision. Thank you for clarifying everything, and I’ll definitely come back once I have shared some proper global key giveaways on the steamgift.
Thanks 😊

The review system has been updated on Steam, so things look a little different now. I've added info about how to get "All Reviews" to show again at the top near the dev name on a store page. Once you change that setting all store pages will be like they were before the update, which is the one the group goes by.

Hi FateOfOne I am interested in joining however I am curious on how small/big the group you are planning will be ideally. I ask because I am part of another group with a similar setup and they only have 35 ish members and it can be sometimes hard to get the required 5 entries on a giveaway with such a low membership. Are you looking for a similar number of people or something a bit larger?

It's a smaller group like mentioned in the OP, so it won't have over 50 members. 2X doesn't use value difference and ratio rules like most GA groups. Those two things can feel like a stranglehold and can have a big impact on entries. As long as members are making their 2 GAs each month they can enter and win giveaways freely. The games people choose to giveaway also play a role in things. People should aim to provide games that people actually want win. If people use games that have been bundled to death or it's some extremely cheap game that you can pick up under a buck on a grey market you likely aren't going to get very many entries. At level 6 on SG which is the recruitment level for this group, most have those games already and those that don't may not want them. Fanatical has a lot of build a bundles that feature games that are new to bundles, these generally do well for entries. Of course most games that haven't been bundle yet are often a great choice for entries.

Thank you for the clarification.

I'd be willing to give it a shot if you'll have me but with a small group size and a lot of interest I won't take it personal if you go with someone else either :)

Happy Anniversary Duquality!!!!!

The group is live! The relaunch goal was 30 members, so currently around half of the members still need to sync their profiles to SG. Some members that have early dates on the monthly schedule have posted their giveaways. There is a waitlist currently to get into the group that is made up of people who were selected but not able to join for the relaunch, as well as other people that are interested.

There is still 1 spot available, so if you are interested feel free to comment and we'll review things.

For new members(anyone who has never been part of 2X), the plan is to bring them in later at a slow rate. Any former members of 2X can reach out to me to discuss joining the group again. The process for returning members is different and you can be brought in even with the group being at max membership slots, which for just the launch month is 30.

The normal max limit that was set from the original group is 45, which put 3 people on each day of the schedule. That likely will be the same max member max for this new 2X as well.

There's still 4 more members that need to sync, but so far 2X is off to a nice start with some great GAs. There's 29 members currently which means 58 quality giveaways throughout October.

There is still one spot to fill, so if you are interested in joining please leave a comment and we'll see if you can be part of the relaunch.
