Then people will go and spend like 50c or a buck or something on one of the smallest games you can get on steam, put it up, and get in. Not everyone will do it, but alot will

Then make a requirement of $25 worth of games gifted.

Expensive games have a big upside: they work as "point sinks". If the majority of people can't enter those, then they would have even more points to use in other giveaways (unless you also meant that posting games over $50 don't generate points for everyone).
This would benefit the gifters, which is a good thing, but would also make things worse for everyone else.

I doubt many people worry about points anymore anyways, there is a ton of points in the system. Hence all the people wanting the point generation decreased, so exacerbating that issue won't likely make much difference.

a better way might be to limit entry to giveaways like this.

I kinda like this. Of course, you will still have people put in 50-60 bucks to 'qualify' for all the games, but that is still better than the situation now.
Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I like it.

The people just here for free games wouldn't be willing to freely give away $50-60 worth of games so that shouldn't be much of an issue... and if they do?
Well, not much problem IMO. If they've given away that much then their legitimately contributing to the site whatever their reasons may be.

IMHO think the site needs new system
you must gifted something to be able enter more giveaways than 60 points total
let say 30 points and for each 20 points over 60 points you must gifted another 10 points
so e.g. if you want enter 200 points giveaways at once, you must gifed 30+70 points in games
under the basic 60 points, you can be in as many giveaways you want
updated: private giveaways shall count to make it fair across site
it will hinder some of the bot/scripted abuse we see now
this would actually sort of push people who want be winning to start gifting
and yet it would not block people w/o gift ability to try win

Limit entries to all giveaways over 50Pts to ONLY those that have gifted games and received positive feedback.
They get a much better chance of winning the high demand games as there will be far fewer entries.
Those games are still a relative rarity, so the non gifters aren't inconvenienced much at all and the prices for the games will drop in time anyway so they'll have their chance at them eventually.
It significantly benefits the people keeping the site alive, and non gifters still have tons of opportunities to enter other games.
