Introduction


Playing Appreciated is a group for members that like to play games they win and for giveaway creators that like to see their games getting played. This sounds simple, yet requires commitment and dedication from members by filtering out games they like to play from all group giveaways and when won playing those within one month. In return members will get higher chances of winning games they want and creators will know their giveaways have a high chance of getting played. The group has more than 1000 members and over 25000 historical giveaways.

Group rules


  • You need to set and keep your Steam privacy settings for My profile and Game details public (example);
  • You will play all giveaways you win via this group within one month;
  • When creating a giveaway it is recommended to include a small group rule reminder in your giveaway, something like: "This is a Playing Appreciated giveaway, by joining you commit to playing this game within a month when won.".

More information and detailed rules please see the FAQ.

How to join


  1. Make sure you are not violating any SteamGifts rules;
  2. Comment one of the two options to enter the group in this discussion:
    • Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play. The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements. Comment with the name of the game, wait for your suggested game to be approved before you start to play it and then comment again once you have finished it. Please upload some screenshots to Steam as well. The game needs to be played in online mode on your own Steam account.
    • Option 2: Supporting the cause by creating a group exclusive giveaway of a game that you would like to see getting played by other group members within a month as soon as your membership request was approved. The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts). Please leave the name of the game you would like to giveaway in the application comment.
  3. Press "Request To Join" on our group page;
  4. Wait for us to approve your request, we'll always reply on the comment you have made in this topic.

Yup! Everything went well, but it was EXTREMELY chaotic moving between three places in another state across the country in the span of a month and coordinating stuff like payments, new salary, and all that other fun stuff... glad to finally be onto the actual chaos I signed up for... MY PHD :D

Hello!

I left the group a couple of years ago and I didnt play the last game that I won because I thought I would not come back again. I regret that decision and I think I made a mistake leaving without having played that last game. I already played the game that I won and you can check it in my profile. Can I rejoin to the group? I will not make the same mistake again, sorry.

Hello GiDEC, theoretically you can rejoin one more time (if this happens again you wont be able to rejoin ever again) however your progress on the game seems a bit lacking which also seems a patter looking at a lot of your older wins. I would like to see some more progress on this game before I am willing to accept your join request (at least finish the first campaign).

Hi Ivannes, as you were already told back then you are welcome to rejoin back when you feel better without it counting against you. You don't have to go through the application process again, however you have to play the win that you didn't play first (well watch I guess in this case). So let me know when you do that.

Didnt allow screenshots, dosnt have time recorded, and cant take screenshots from windows, only subtitels show, its may have some anti.external screenshots, but I upload one into imgur just in case.
Very very short video story (1hr) about indie devs, I have saw a documentary from others indie devs, and this ones have good contacts, IGN, humble named and a few more when they talk about giving keys for pre.orders reviews, Is nice to see the packages for supporter (personalized), and a few problematics they confront (time into realise most than anything)

  1. My profil should be public
    2.1.
    I have a problem here. I've only won one game so far, which I have already played through too. -> Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)

So i have to do option 2.2?

A short answer would be nice.

Hi Lazzlo7C, since you have also won the DLC Neverwinter Nights: Infinite Dungeons playing the base game Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition would count as well. Or you can also wait for a new win and play that. If you don't want to do either of that you have option 2 yes. Let me know what you want to do.

Well I beat it, that took much longer than I anticipated. Definitely wouldn't recommend trying to marathon the game like I did because it's one of those games that has a very simple gameplay loop without any variance. Here's some images of proof that I 100% completed it, I'm going to request to join now so let me know when you reviewed my invitation.

Congrats on the 100%. I 100%ed the 2nd and 3rd game of the Series, but never bothered to do this one. Maybe one day I need to go back and clean up those last few achievements I am needing for it (afaik I need to start a new playthrough for one of them thats why I never could be bothered).

Btw I wanted to ask about the screenshots, can I delete them after you have seen them? It's not really a big deal if I have to keep them tho I prefer not to have screenshots unless I genuinly wanted to take them.

One thing though, my Games Detail is public but I have the option "always keep my total playtime private even if users can see my game details" checked because it makes my profile look cleaner. Can I keep this checked since I'm not going to enter any giveaways?

Finished Bendy and the Dark Revival today. Reminded me a lot like Bioshock but less expansive, which is not a bad thing. There were a few quirks and odd design choices, but overall the game was very enjoyable. Would like to play the rest of the series someday. It also fit spooktober atmosphere pretty well.

Hi, I’ve already binged the game and got both endings.
https://steamcommunity.com/id/uksus146/stats/1406850/achievements/

It feels like Guacamelee without the metroidvania elements, and honestly, I think it works better this way. I didn’t like Guacamelee, but this one really hooked me. Not sure if I’ll actually 100% it though, the collectibles are pretty annoying to track down.

I played about 3 hours of the game and triggered credits a few times. HLTB says the game takes 2 hours for a normal playthrough.

I love FMV games just for the campy aspects and while not pure gold this one was mildly entertaining and I got my time's worth with it.

*I forgot to take some screenshots. I'll take some in a bit. Never really use the feature on steam that much lol so idk how they work

I am afraid before I can accept you into the group I will need some screenshots (should be pretty easy to upload some, but if you need help let me know). If the game has some menu when you can see which routes you have taken/save files/decision trees/anything like that you can take a screenshot of that so you don't need to replay the game or anything.

hey hey, so I won a PA gift. Distant Worlds Universe. I didnt realize how Windows restricted it was, apparently it needs 32-bit IE6 and Proton is exclusively 64-bit. The internet hints that theres ways to get it working on Linux with winetricks, but like, the extent of my winetricks knowledge is that it exists. Im trying to figure out the command line steps to make it playable, but I have a lot to learn before I'll have the fluency.

I still have 4 weeks on my clock, so I'm optimistic, I just wanted to let you know early. I'm not trying to get a pass on the rules or anything, just a heads up so that if I do fail, you at least know I was trying and it wasnt some 11th-hour-fumbling-for-an-excuse. Wish me luck type stuff.

Hey, making sure the game will work on their system is on the person who has entered the GA before they enter for it. If there was no way of knowing that the game wouldn't have worked (if there is some bug or some requirement that is not stated on the Store page) that is obviously another story. But in this case the store page clearly shows no Linux support and it is very clearly obvious on Proton.db that the game does not work with Proton, so I am afraid you will have to either find a way to play the game or you will be kicked from the group.

I do wish you the best of luck tho, I been using Linux since 2015 so I had my fair share of headaches trying to get games to run as they should on there. At least nowadays 99+% of games work straight out of the box (unless you use Linux on a ARM Macbook, but thats a story for another day), but I remember the dark, dark times before Proton and I never wanna go back there again lol.

You have some recent playtime on it from today and yesterday. Is it from just running the launcher?

I will accept it with a lot of screenshots showing you playing the game uploaded to Steam (if you need help with that let me know, tho considering you got this thing running I would imagine this shouldn't be a problem lmao) and a screenshot of the achievement tab that Jztr shared bellow would be great. If you can also give me an estimate how long you have played would be wonderful too (you can keep the launcher running while playing it if that works for example to make it easy).

Yea, the recent playtime is from trying to start it from the in steam launcher. which takes u to an unclickable start game button. I have like 6 hours that werent counted.

  • Having the launcher running on my Linux while I play in the Virtualbox is a smart idea, Ill do that.
  • Can u upload pictures to steam that werent taken thru steam? the internet suggests you can, ill see if i can figure that out... or i can make an imgur

sorry this has to be complicated. thanks for the accommodations and such

Can u upload pictures to steam that werent taken thru steam?

Yea, its not incredibly complicated, just an annoying amount of steps. You:

  1. you make a new folder with the Appid as the name in the screenshot folder location of Steam. For me that is
    /home/<pcname>/.local/share/Steam/userdata/<id>/760/remote/<appid>. In this case the appid is 261470. If you screenshot directly from virtual box instead you will have to look up what the path is for windows because I have absolutely no idea.
  2. Inside that folder you make a folder called "screenshots"
  3. Inside the screenshots folder you make a folder called "thumbnails"
  4. You put the screenshots both in the "screenshots" and "thumbnails" folder
  5. You optionally restart Steam. I had it work before without restarting, but last time I have done it a couple of months ago I had to restart for them to show up.
  6. The screenshots show up like you would have taken them normally in Steam and you upload them.

Its easiest if you just take a look at a different game you have taken screenshots of before and just copy that.

Hi Afterlife120, you are welcome to join, however those 2 games are not going to work. Not because they are adult games, but because they are too short. In your case you can either wait for a new win that would work for option 1 or join with option 2.

Hi Jztr, you can not rejoin the group unless you play the game you got kicked over enough to comply with the group rules.

Nvm, I rejoined Unlucky7, so I can now view my last two wins from PA — Lost Castle and Idol Magical Girl Chiru Chiru Michiru Part 1. Since they were shared giveaways, I’m currently working on clearing them out. I’ll notify you once I finish.
By the way, could you please confirm those games for me?

Sorry for the late response, I didn't have much time in the past couple of days. It was actually only Lost Castle that was the problem (for future use you can see your group wins here). Since your playtime is fine now, you can rejoin, however please note that if you get kicked again you won't be able to rejoin anymore.

If you can request to join the group on Steam here, if you can not let me know and I will send you an invite.

Hi! I would like to join, but I have a question. Recently I won 2 games: Train Station Renovation and Sticky Business. I started playing TSR just 5 hours ago from now and already got some achievements. Do I have to start Sticky Business or I can just continue playing TSR?

Hi Meokk, I'm not a group admin but you can't have any achievements if you're going with option 1.

Hi Meokk, I think it very clearly (even in bold) states in the join instructions that no, Train Station Renovation does not work. Sticky Business is fine, so let me know once you beat the game. And please do take a look at the group FAQ to make sure there is nothing else unclear there.

Hi! Just finished Sticky Business! Only the main game since some content is only accessable after the dlc is bought. Also checked FAQ, don't think I have any questions at the moment. Can I join the group now?

Congrats on completing the game! Main game only is fine, I wouldn't expect anyone to buy the DLC. And nice spooky season appropriate sticker!
