[SUGGESTION] A personal steamgifts wishlist that leads to semi-private giveaways.

Since there aren't a lot of AAA legit giveaways you wouldnt benefit

I see people care alot about gifts not going on ppl who actually want to play those games. Its just an idea

Reread and editted accordingly :3

Have the users manually create a list on SG and limit the amount of times it can be changed in a set time limit. Might do the trick if it's not too much work.

When a user changes his list he triggers a 24h cooldown.

maybe you can change it after a week or if you win a giveaway for it.

Well, like group-giveaways, maybe it won't even be visible unless you already have the game in your "SG Wishlist". That way, people won't be able to simply browse through the list of giveaways, and add whatever games they want to their "SG Wishlist" just to be able to enter.

I must say, I have been introduced to a few gems (AAA titles get so much attention in the gaming press), not always indie title either, just different ones. Also I use my wishlist purely as a means for close friends/family members to buy me stuff for my birthday and such (I am very hard to shop for mostly because if I want something I normally just buy/pirate* it =p, but sometimes lots of good stuff comes out at once so it goes on the wishlist for later).

I don't think the recommendation is BAD, but it would involve a bit of work (I don't know the backend of SG, but as a PHP coder I would rather add/fix some other stuff first) and with the addition of add-ons mentioned you can already see games up for sale that are in your wishlist (which covers part of what you mentioned).

I dislike steam's wishlist system as well. Thats why I suggested a wishlist featured on sg. But I understand that this is harder to make.

I am not against the openness of the current system. I am just suggesting an extra giveaway type/feature.

I didnt say smthing about automatation.

Not harsh enough. After 24 hrs, there'll still be plenty of bundle game giveaways for everyone to jump in on, especially if the bundle in question is still running. Plus, daily sales, mid-week sales, limited time Amazon sales, pricing incidents... the aftereffects most certainly last longer than 24 hrs.
