Is it wrong for me to enter GAs for bundle games I won't play?

I personally do not mind whether winners want to play the game right away, in 1 year time or never, especially if it's just a bundle leftover. Still ofc it veries from contributor to contributor as well as winner to winner cases.

Would you, as a giveaway lister, care if someone like me won your game?

It happens all the time, and no, it doesn't bother me.
Would I rather someone win who might play and enjoy the game? Well, sure, I think most people want that.

Morally, most people will tell you it's wrong. However, it's not against the rules and you're allowed to do whatever the fuck you want.
Personally, I think it's not right to enter giveaways for games you won't play, but then again there are tons of other people doing that. Also, you'll probably get massively blacklisted for doing that. :P

Also, it really depends on what kind of game. I can't imagine people wanting some bundle shovelware trash, so I usually point out that it's okay to enter just for collecting or farming cards.

Wow, those results are way more one sided than I thought they'd be. Does my 455 games given away to 4 games won (2 of which were mass giveaways) not factor into the equation at all? :'(

Edit: Results now even for quite the time. Very interesting results.

Yes and you should feel bad because even under 1$ games are games ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Would you, as a giveaway lister, care if someone like me won your game?

Depends on a game, I think ;) But yeah, generally if there's a chance that a game would go to somebody who is interested to give it a try one day (even in 2 years), I'd prefer it wouldgo to this person :)

Based on how "rare" the game is, how good and how much I like it. A superbundled shit game - you can just hide it forever, I wouldn't care. But if I give away my favourites, or ones I find special, then it's a really bad feeling to know that they will be just dumped and never ever looked at.

Game can give you cards. You can sell cards for money to buy games you actually want to play. More games = Higher level on steam = More chance to drop booster packs = More money.

Its a terrible system that Steam created but it does reward you for getting crap in your steam library. You definetely know a bit about as you have over 130 badges, over 4000 games and +80 level ;p

i think this thread will get you some blacklist. but it's really up to you. if u won a AAA game though... i think the creator would want you to at least play it like 5 hours-ish. but the trash GAs... well theyre made mostly for cv farming so those who get angry when u don't play them are just silly

As long as you're at least somewhat interested in it I think it's fine to enter giveaways (even if you don't intend to play it immediately), but otherwise you're potentially depriving someone who actually does want to play the game from getting to. So yes, those who care more about having a +1 added to their library then letting someone enjoy the game attached to said +1 are "scumlords" (as you put it).

I don't care at all. I would care though if it was my favorite game ever (Bully: Scholarship Edition). But just because I don't care, it doesn't mean it's right to win games and never play them while somebody else would play it. But, I repeat, I personally don't give a duck.

I'm more surprised if one of my winners plays the game than the other way around… I'm long past hoping for finding homes for the keys where they will be played.

I don't care about the winners as long as they marked it as received.

I don't care if you play a game that you won from me or not as long as you follow the rules of SG when it comes to activating the game and marking it received. It's your Steam account to do with as you please. If a giveaway creator is butthurt over people who don't agree with their beliefs on who should get their game they have SGTools and Groups and whitelists that they can use to do giveaways for whomever they want to enter them.

What the **** your ratio o.o

Games aren't essential ... good for you, if you're willing to use all the chances and good for you if you have a conscience telling you not to, as you won't even play them. Either way fair game even more so, if you were as generous to butter a fair share back/front up into the community ... which again even that isn't an requirement.

storage/archive of presents without use is a legitimate use of presents imho (while not regift, which for me is to avoid)

If colecting games makes you happy, then why not? that's the point of them, besides, i have a lot of games in my backlog, so it would be hypocrite.

If it's complete and utter bundle trash, no, but if it's a game anyone would love to play I wouldn't want it to go to someone who never plays it. Especially if it's someone who already owns so many games. And I don't think your ratio matters at all when it comes to your behaviour.

Are you 100% sure you're not going to play anything you might win?

I like it how you call it "bundle social security fund", and I also like your wishlist *lennyface*

"Am I a scumlord if I enter giveaways to increase my game count? Even though I've paid into the bundle social security fund?"

Yes, you are a scumlord. First of all, people pay into social security because it is a federal lawful requirement, not because they chose to donate their hard earned money into a flipping government bullshit program.

You chose to donate to the steamgifts program, no one forcibly made you.

You do not rack up a balance that the steamgifts 'owes you' like you would under the ponzi scheme of social security. What kind of logic are you trying to employ here? Either you havn't really thought this through, or you are looking for people with no intelligent relativism to justify your behavior.

I personally enter giveaways for games I'm gonna play and don't really understand the purpose of collecting, but I don't mind if others do.

Rarely do I really want and expect a game to be played, and when I do I'll mention that in the giveaway description and maybe make it available it to a group that focuses on playing won games.

I would feel good if someone played a game I've given away and enjoyed it, but I don't expect that from most of the bundled games I give.
That's because often the reason I create a giveaway for a bundled game is that I wouldn't play that game anyway (because it probably seems like crap or something), so the winner can enjoy the game however they like, while I enjoy my increase in given games. =)

I just wonder, though, if it wouldn't be much easier to just buy all bundles you encounter for yourself, without even using Steamgifts to trade bundled games in this manner.
