Entering a GA for which you have a key

Trying to blacklist myself ever since

i remember doing that once or twice, when i was new here (like 2 years ago). but at least i did a giveaway with my own copy then. today, i wouldn't do such a thing anymore. just doesn't seem right.

Seeing as how I regularly give away games I don't own but would like to own, I fall into the category of "entering giveaways for games for which you have the gift/key." That is because I give to others what I would like for myself (or just received). Of course, my intention when buying the games is to give them away, not keep them, but there's no way for anyone to know that except me, is there?

There are some giveaways with limited entries where I have a good chance of winning a game i want, but I often pass on those for the same reason given above. I put myself second.

Have i done it? Yes

Do i still do it sometimes? Well I don't have any keys atm so no.

Did i feel terrible when i first did it? Well tbh no :P

Depends I guess. Lately I've been going "Created giveaways first" priority, so if I have a key, I create the GA for it, and then try for my chance, if I will ever win it from another GA. Second supersitition is when the game is within my wishlist in top 10. Then I'd just install the key firsthand, and then try to get a second for giveaway.

For your case, if I ever was so patient in waiting to win a GA where I could also instantly upload my key, I'd probably think is as a gift exchange, well, for a normal circle it sounds like someone is left out. But yeah, it's something complicated, but I'd probably go with my first two options above.

No, never.
