Just curious! I know most people would love to win a big named AAA title. Though think about it. 1 AAA title with a couple thousand players entering it. Your chances of winning this 1 Give-a-way is pretty rare.

So why not up your chances with lower priced games in larger quantity. 6 chances for the price of 1. How about 10 or 60 for the price of 1. Sure you are not getting the same quality but you do have a higher chance of win something. Right?!

So what do you think. Go big or go home.... OR... quantity over quality? Not that AAA equals quality in this day and age. ;P


The way I feel you should think about it is. If there were not other give-a-ways on steamgift except for the vote you make. You can't see what your voting for. So you don't know what games they are. Would you still vote for what you did?

Yeah, the option should be 3 x $20-25, most decent indies or "smaller" titles are at that price now. I guess if you can get them 50% off, they'd be around $10-15 :)

Then again, the AAA games may have a season pass or expansion adding up to $100ish so I guess $60 is a fair average cost on sale as well.

I forgot how to maths. Forgot the $20 range. Oh well, sadly can't edit the poll. :(

Still the 6 choice is close enough for the representation. Aesthetically though, it looks good. 3 and 20 would just stand out next to all those 6's, 1's and 0's. ;P

Indie games that only cost $10-30 are sometimes way more fun and way more time consuming than AAA games. So def $10 titles but I like being strategic with my entries not entering things with overwhelming odds such as 5000 and up entries and going for group giveaways.

I love good games that have great replay value in the 5-20 dollar range. I am playing indie titles most of the time and while I have to sift through a lot of junk, I do come across a lot of nice stuff too! :D

While I do love me some AAA titles. Dragons Dogma, Skyrim and No Man's Sky to name a couple. I am a huge fan of really good low priced indie games. Games like Spiral Scouts, Submerged and Evoland (1 and 2) have so much charm and wonder go them. Right now I am playing a little delight called Dead State Reanimated. A lot of fun for those strategist.

So I put my vote in the 6 $10 selection. Not that lower priced games then that are bad. Montaro and Montaro:RE are 2 wonderful time wasters. That little panty stealing Doge one my heart over from day one. ;P

That's actually a tricky question because I tend to enter based on type of games (e.g. RPG, RTS, Puzzle, etc) rather than tier (e.g. AAA, Indie). That being said, I get excited when I see a quality game--AAA or successful indie-- that is older and popular/well-reviewed, but which I never got around to buying. You often get fewer entries on those games because a lot of people already own it, but--for those who don't have it-- it's super exciting to win.

On the other hand, as a giveaway creator, I want to be able to give away some of those AAA games just because I know that whoever wins will be truly excited. I'm still relatively new to this site and not currently able to afford much, but I really enjoyed it when I gave away my first non-bundled game (even if it wasn't the most expensive thing out there) because I knew it would be a more exciting win for someone.

I enjoy giving games away. I usually have a lot of bundle extras. Stuff I could not get trades for, already have or just don't want to play. Most though are low end titles between 5-15. Some are more. AAA are not all $60. There are some great AAA titles that have gone down in price do to age usually.

Though all the games I give away are from bundles. Don't mean they are worthless. Just means I saved myself some money. Good Example is Fanatical. Currently doing there Bundle Blast. They released one called Killer Bundle 12 which included 6 games and some big titles. Sold out faster then any other bundle they had. I saw it. It was $4 and though. What the hey, why not. I don't want any of these but $4 to give away some big titles should be fun.

I would rather enter for one good AAA title than 6 copies of trash, at the same time I would rather enter for a single copy of a good cheap indie game than one AAA title that doesn't interest me.

That's fair, but here is something to ponder. What if you don't know what the games would be. You log in one day and you can't see any give-a-ways. Only the choices from the votes. You don't know what games would be in those votes. All you know is you can vote for the chance to enter one of those selections. So what would you choose then? Would it still be the same as what you already voted for? :D

Yes, I am picking on you just cause of timing. ;P

Many 10$ Indie games are better than 60$ AAA games these times so I vote for 6 x 10$ :)

Well, if we consider most people entering for farming cards... it is expected 6x$10 is the winner.

That is why PA giveaway entries are generally less than 100.

I personally prefer 1 AAA title if it is public, 6x10$ games if it is a PA (or something like it) giveaway.

I find that my most enjoyed games are around 15$ but i dont really find games to my taste at the price of 10$. For AAA games i really don't care much i only enjoy certain series Tomb Raider series, From Software games so it really depends on the game rather than price. For example lately i only enter for Shadow of Tomb Raider. I don't want any other game so your first choice is for me right now. But there was times that i really wanted some other games and i would choose 6 10$ games over an AAA.
