So as some of you may know my grandfather recently passed away, I went from playing steam games everyday to not at all. I have a lot of games and know that people may worry I will not play my wins but I actually plan to play my wins before anything else. I have just been so depressed lately I haven't really had the heart of concentration to play anything. I am very sorry if the delay is an issue for anyone. If it is just let me know and I will refrain from entering your giveaways. Thank you all.

Hello! Really sorry to hear that. My condolences. Don't worry, nobody (at least nobody sane) would get angry just because you delayed to play their game. Have a nice day. :)

You would think so but I have actually been BL'd due to people thinking I won't ever play their game because of the large amount I own but what they fail to realize is I bought most of my games myself so I shouldn't be effecting anyone as I do plan to play their games one way or another. However that is their decision and I respect it.

It took me 2 years to finish a game I won in the past (didn't win it on steamgifts), but I eventually finished it. You're given a game for free in the expectation to play it, but nobody can tell you when to play it. Games are to be played whenever you want and have the needed mood. And a lot of people that don't play the games they win, are high-leveled steamgifts users, so no need to be "afraid" of them. ;P

what you do with your wins is your business - you give enough back to the community to make up for the fact that you may be a little too busy in real life to get to play them wins immediately :)

I started to running/jogging again last year (after years of lazyness) when we had to put to sleep our doggie, and stopped playing games for a few months, also watched a lot of tv shows that were on my "pending" list for years :p So yeah, dont worry too much about play your winnings, just enjoy your time

Don't push it. There is no way you need to play games, nor happy or sad. And of course you are not forced to play your winnings, specially if you are having a bad week. Don't get me wrong, but I don't even understand why you are apologizing* to a buch of anonymous people on a forum. Just be with yourself or your family, nobody can't say shit to you, specially for a videogame.

I'm sorry about your loss. Some people will not like it, but you don't have any obligation to play your wins, unless the giveaway creator said he expect you to play the game. (for example, he wrote something like please don't join if you don't intend to play the game in the description)

Sorry about your loss :(. As everyone else said, don't feel guilty about this sort of thing. You won those games to have fun and play them on your own time, and no one should tell you when to play the games that you own. I hope you start to feel better soon and know that we all understand.

Plus whoever blacklists you for this, f-- them, who wants to enter giveaways from someone like that anyway.

true, i'm glad that type of thing doesn't get to you.

I know that you just said you weren't up for gaming, but I saw LiEat in your wishlist and I was wondering if I could gift it to you? When I was going through a similiar hard time, someone gifted me a game and it cheered me up a bit. If you don't accept gifts then thats alright too!

Also, I don't think most of my winners actually play their wins, anyway (which is fine with me), so I definitely wouldn't worry about that being an issue.

They would blacklist you even if you would make a post about how lovely the steamgifts community is or even if you would giveaway Dishonored 2 or even if you would never post or even if you would breathe heavily when reading their posts. :P People just love blacklisting, that's all.

I had a very close relationship with my granddad and felt the same when he died too. It is fucking depressing.

But eventually in time, you take comfort in, that every moment spent and memories he shared is still with you. In a way, he passed but his very essence is with his loved ones. yeah.

I find it heartwarming that you even made the effort to explain yourself publicly. I very much hope that you will find the strength and motivation to play, eat, run, laugh as in times past. If you ever are in need of somebody to talk to...there is a site called 7cup, where people like me listen to people who go trough a rough time.

I wish you all the cuddles in the world!

Considering you've only won 45 games, I'd say people would be crazy to give you crap about not playing your wins. There's probably over 45 of your games that you sent out that never got played, so I think you're all good. Still, you made an effort to reach out to the community, so that's sweet.

We've all had days where we feel like we can't really play anything. I'm actually currently in one of those phases myself, but I know it'll pass and I can go back to beating my backlog someday. Just needs some more time!

Just focus on yourself for now. I hope you get over the depression, it's not a fun place to be.
All my support getting thrown your way!

Sorry for your loss! Wishing you all the strength you need to get better soon.

Don't think about the BLs. Got to admit that I'm also considering the possible reasons when new BLs appear, but firstly there are way more important things in life and secondly you can't make it right to everyone. Also usually it's only a very small number compared to the amount of active users.

Regarding playing the wins: Noone knows how much free time, other hobbies, friends or duties you have. As long as you don't enter with the intention to never play it, that's okay. Of course, if a creator actually points out that the game should be played very soon, I wouldn't enter.
