Is it a lost art to say Thank you when you get something?

Do you e-mail it or add them on Steam? It's a lot more likely you'll be thanked if you add them on Steam.

It is just the age we live in.

Lots of people say thank you in the comments; did you check to see whether your winners are among them?

That's a pity. I've never encountered a winner who wasn't thankful for the game. :/

thank you

That does suck honestly. I've only had one who didn't thank me (not even in the comments). I always thank people, when I enter and a second time if I win. If I can't catch them online, I'll leave a thank you on their profile. If the profile's private, I'll at least go hijack the top comment of the giveaway and thank them again there. It's really not that hard; there's always a way to reach someone online.

But sadly, you'll probably get a lot of people like that if you're doing public giveaways. I think some of these people think these gifts just appear out of thin air. :/

I always say thanks when i get a gift.

It's sad so many people have no manners. I mean, this is a site basically fueled by good will. I'm sorry about your bad luck with that. :/

yeah. i had it with people not thanking too. That's why i move to private giveaways, where people are more likely to say thanks

I have given 8 games and just one didn't say thank you. I still ruined my day though, it was like: "yeah, I won, now give me your game and get out."

I thank for everything I win, and though I've only given 3 games so far, all three have thanked me.

Stick to group giveaways (even then, make sure it's a decent group) Public giveaways are riddled with ungrateful leeches. It's not just you, just bad luck with the unworthy winners.

This happens mostly with public giveaways sadly, that's why I don't have any expectations of the winner saying thanks.

Perhaps...they had no parents and were raised orphans. Then it might be understandable that they never learned to say thank you...

Sad but true. They'd rather expect that you should thank them for entering so your giveaway doesn't have 0 entries.

Jokin', I hope that noone would think like that :).

I always leave a thank you in their steam profile whenever I win something.

When I do giveaways I require the user to contact me in steam via chat (usually in the group chat room I did the giveaway for). I have found personally that when gifting things in person, in chat like that, I ALWAYS get a thank you or two or three.

When I win, I make it a point to show how very much I appreciate it and thank them many times.

I hope your future experiences are better, don't let the morons discourage you.

The French are used to saying "Good morning/afternoon" to strangers in the streets. We were discussing yesterday that this is done to guarantee that you are not seeing a zombie. Zombies walk, but they don't greet you.

I can't speak for anyone else, but if I win something and there's a way for me to thank the person who hosted the giveaway, I say thank you. I can't imagine WHY the people who don't say anything do that. How could you not even just spare the time for a simple "thanks" at least?

I rarely comment on giveaways with a thank you or similar, but i always thank someone i won something from, that's a must.

I try to sends emails or thank people on steam for gifts.
