Hi there! I would like to join using option 1
I've won Neon Fantasy: Dogs recently and I wanna use it as my way to join.
I'm not sure whether this game meets the requirements. If not, I can try another game you specified.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi Resourcer, Neon Fantasy: Dogs is too short, it doesn't work. Looking at your account it just seems generally too new for me to feel comfortable accepting. You can reapply in the future after some time has passed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for your reply. I feel a little disappointed, but I respect your decision. Although I failed to join this time, I look forward to submitting my application again when the conditions are ripe in the future. Good luck.

I've already completed several games that I won here, but I also want to do giveaways for the group. I recently discovered this world of private groups and I'm going to dive right in. I have a lot of games to giveaway
an example of a game that I won here and completed is Dark Souls 3 itself, which I won very luckily in a giveaway

Hi ManowGamer, you are welcome to join the group. Please follow the how to join steps and pick a way you would like to join with and let me know.

Hi ManowGamer, since it has been a week and you still haven't responded to me I am going to assume you are no longer interested to join and I have therefore rejected your join request.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry for taking so long to respond, I am interested in joining the group, but I don't want to be a leecher in it, I'll wait until I finish the games I started and the month ends, then I'll apply again to join, I'm really sorry for the delay, next month I'll apply as a player and gifter

Hello, I would like to join group using option two. Game that I am offering is Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration.

Thank you

Thank you very much for sharing! And since you are pretty new to SG a warning: SG can not detect if someone owns this game properly because it is a pack and it lets you enter the game (I could enter it myself, even if I beaten the game, obviously I wont) even if you already own it. So make sure the winner doesn't have it before you send the key (you can just search for Rise of the Tomb Raider in their Steam library).

Hi, would like to use Option 1 : Gonna beat Inkulinati and get back to you!
Really want to join with people who would motivate me to play the games more often.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi GeekDoesStuff, you are welcome to join with option 1 however I can not confirm that you have not played Inkulinati before you made the comment so therefore please pick a different game.
Comment has been collapsed.
shoot, I should have waited for you to check before immediately starting the game after posting the comment, right? MB.
SteamWorld Dig 2 then should be a good pick
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, pretty much, sorry! SteamWorld Dig 2 will do fine tho! Let me know once you beat the game and enjoy!

Oh, I enjoyed it greatly and joined the list of people sad there is probably never going to be 3rd game :'))

Have you by any chance taken some screenshots as asked in the how to join section?

Right, sorry, I've taken a few using steam, just didn't upload till now. Hope they're enough, honestly almost forgot to take any. Always can go back for more achievements and take more)

Hi, this is a nice idea. I recently realized that I ought to play and appreciate the games that I got from trades and giveaways. So I think this community movement is a good incentive. I would like to join using option 1. Will Faerie Solitaire be fine? howlongtobeat has marked it as a 13-hour game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi jegames10, you are welcome to join by playing Faerie Solitaire ( or if you chose to play the remaster instead Faerie Solitaire Remastered). Let me know once you beat the game and enjoy! I personally really liked the game, but I am a big fan of solitaire games so your mileage may vary :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi MWB, thanks for the recommendation! I generally like card games, so even if it's not the usual card game type that I play, I enjoyed playing Faerie Solitaire too :)
I chose to play the classic version. I felt it would be more meaningful to actually play the version that I won... It was years late but I am glad I finally finished the game.
Completion stats and achievements are on my public profile. I would return to this game later to complete the final 3 achievements. Cheers and thanks a lot for your community support!
Comment has been collapsed.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the game! I get that completely why you would wanna play the original, but I just wanted you to know that I would have accepted either.
"All Grown Up" achievement is a massive pain, so I wish you the best of luck with it when you decide to go for it.
Have you by any chance taken some screenshots as asked in the how to join section?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you! I am at 25/32 for "All Grown Up" so it's not too far now :) I will definitely go for 100%.
Sorry, I missed the screenshots. I rarely use the feature when playing.. but is it proof of completion like a screenshot of the trophy page?
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh thats not too bad then! I think when i played it it took me 3 full playthroughs to get all of the eggs I needed.
All good, that screenshot is fine, thank you! Please request to join the group on Steam here and I will approve it as soon as I see it.

Thank you for the assistance! I requested to join the group. No rush with the approval.

Hi MishaSinica, you are STILL not welcome to join. You can stop asking.
Comment has been collapsed.
Howdy! I am really interested in joining this group as I already only join giveaways for games I would actually play.
I am looking to join through the first option, but I have played all of my wins already as I do not enter a lot of giveaways. I will say that my favorite game that I won through SG and practically played immediately was Hue. Although I was hesistant as I had never been a huge fan of platformers, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and uniqueness of it.
I hope that you can consider that as accomplishing the requirements :)

Hi JTC3, before I look any further in this application please make sure to comply with the group rules (the privacy setting one).

Sorry but I am not entirely sure what you mean as I comply with the group rules and my settings match the example posted. Please let me know what I need to do differently to be accepted :)
Comment has been collapsed.
It is fine now, but it definitely wasn't earlier when I wrote that message. Anyways, since you have played all your wins you can either pick an unplayed game with achievements from your library and play that for option 1 or join with option 2. Let me know what you would like to do.
Edit: just saw I wrote "win" somewhere instead of "game". Editing that for clarity.

Sorry about that! I JUST started Coromon this week through Steam Family which I can prove to you. Anyway I can count that?

Haha alright sorry! As most of the Lego Games don't have achievements, unless we could make LEGO® Batman™: The Videogame as I am currently playing through the entire collection on the side, I will either play Batman: Arkham Asylum or Slime Rancher
Comment has been collapsed.

No we can not make that work... And not gonna lie, you inability/unwillingness to follow instructions/rules so far doesn't really inspire much confidence that you will make for a good group member. Have you read the FAQ (where the detailed rules are) and do realize you actually have to follow those if you win something and you can't just bend them the way you want?
That said playing Slime Rancher or Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition for option 1 is fine, but yea, I am not really convinced here...
Comment has been collapsed.
I have read the FAQ and understand the rules entirely. I figured that the Lego game would not work but just figured I would throw it out there as part of my application. I have no issue completing option one through Batman: Arkham Asylum. Sorry if my responses aren't clear or confusing as I have been sleep deprived with work, but please don't worry as I intend to play all of the games I win and adhere to the rules precisely! :)

Alright, let me know once you beat either one of the 2 games.

Hi, I'd like to join, I've never won a game so I'll like to giveaway one of my favorite games of all time: Either Pathologic 2 or Prey 2017

Great taste. Prey is one of my all time favorites too! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi DannyHranica, since you haven't won anything on SG yet, you can also join by playing any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library instead if you wish. But you can also join with option 2 too no problem, I just want you to be aware you have that option :) Let me know what you decide!
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi, I want to use option 1
but sadly i won only one game, and that is WarPlan.
is this game acceptable?
and if yes how long should i play?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi MmToorani, you are welcome to join however WarPlan is not going to work since it doesn't have any achievements. Since you don't have any other SG wins you can pick any unplayed game with achievements from your Steam library to play instead or go with option 2. Let me know what you decide!
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey, I'd maybe like to join via first option.
I won several games on steamgifts that I haven't played yet cuz of lack of time and other personal problems.
I'have dw some of like Grime, White Day, Rain world or Fallout, maybe if I finish one of these, you'll let me apply to the group?
Let me know if it's possible, but anyway I'm going to play these games after I became an achievement hunter ahah.
Have a nice day.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello! I'd love to join the group using Option 1: The game will be Elden Ring
I won it a few days ago, and since my midterms are about to end, I'm planning on getting 100% on this game. I had an amazing time with Dark Souls ptde and Sekiro, so I'm sure I'll beat it!
Just let me know if everything is okay so I can begin with the game ;D. Have a great day!
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi DiegoPahuara, you are welcome to join by playing ELDEN RING, let me know once you best the game and good luck on your quest for 100%! To join the group you only need to beat it so let me how whenever you do that and enjoy it!
Thank you, have a great day yourself! :)

Hi Musashi26, you are welcome to join the group with option 1, but I feel like for the game you have picked would be really hard to define what "beaten" is. Would you mind picking a different game?
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh right kekw
how about Tomb Raider ?
It has an achievement called "A Survivor Is Born" that one would get when they beat the game.
I can probably beat it this weekend :D
(i won this one 5 months ago and yet i procrast on ths all these times bcs i knew it would take quite some work to actually get 100% achievement on this with all the multiplayers achievements, need to find a lot of fellow achievement hunters for them.
But ig the time has come now xD)
Comment has been collapsed.
Tomb Raider will be fine! Let me know once you beat it and enjoy the game (its a great one!). Also I still need some of those MP achievements myself so if you are up for getting them let me know :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Took me way longer than was planned due to irl circumstances, but i finally beat it along with all the singleplayer achievements. I havent touch the multiplayer at all tho. The multiplayer ones probably gonna need to wait a bit bcs im currently also in-progress of looking for ppl to 100% another game multiplayer achievements (for honor).
I'll invite you when i try to get Tomb Raider multiplayers achievements later (mostlikely right after im done with 100% for honor)
I just sent appli to join the group on steam ^^
p.s. you're right, its a really great game :))
Comment has been collapsed.
Congrats on beating the game! I have added you on Steam because I want to ask about something regarding your progress. Can you please let me know when you accept the friend request? Thank you.
And don't worry at all about the MP, was just an offer :)
Edit: join request approved.

Hi. I'm really happy to stumble upon this group. I recently started Sticky Business, and I've added all my wins to a Steam category so I can play through them before I found this post. Since I've already started Sticky Business, could I do Option 1 with Shiro (currently 0 achievements)?

Hi, group is based on very thoughtful idea, I would like to join with the Option 1, game is HITMAN : Absolution
Comment has been collapsed.
Hixankony, you are welcome to join however please pick a different game and let me know which one it will be.
Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi again, idk if there is a long game I won except DOOM and Hitman: Absolution, but I played them so there is Night Loops played 4.2 hrs but actually its just card idling time I didn't play it yet. However if that doesnt count neither, I can play Maniac Path 4, idk how long is it but it seems nice. If you have a specific recommend you can tell me if these games doesnt count. I am preparing myself for makeup exams so I couldnt look for it all, waiting for your reply.
Comment has been collapsed.
Night Loops will be fine, let me know when you beat the game.

I wish I knew it was so complicated game, I thought it was a normal point & click game but things got difficult,complicated and boring, I managed to achieve %50 (achievements) and took a screenshot in the game but I am sorry I couldn't beat the game, these types give me headaches.

To join the group you have to beat the game so I can not accept this as fulfilling option 1.

Hello! I'd like to join using option 1: 3030 Deathwar Redux - A Space Odyssey
I don't believe the only other unplayed win I have (Crankies Workshop) would count.
I would also be fine with hosting a new giveaway for option 2 if needed :)

Hi - I can't reply to the original comment itself, I think because I was kicked from the group, but regards my unplayed win-
apologies, have been having severe issues with my laptop (shutting itself off seemingly at random) and playing a typing game on steamdeck isn't ideal. I will try to get to playing it asap, but I understand why I was kicked.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi onotomatopea, yes SG doesn't allow access to your group wins if you are not a member of said group anymore which is kinda inconvenient. And since it has been almost 3 weeks since the deadline has passed with no feedback from your side why it hasn't been played you have been kicked a while ago.
If you wish you can rejoin one more time after both of your group wins have been played however please note that if you then get kicked again you won't be able to rejoin anymore.
Comment has been collapsed.
Understandable, the rules are there for a reason! Still, apologies for lack of communication, to you and the giveaway host - I have been a bit busy - Life Stuff.
I will work on finding a way to play those wins soon (this week?) and get back to you.
Thank you!

Option 2 (Dungeons of Hinterberg)

Hi OlOAyCT, you are welcome to join the group, but please pick a different game to give away (or option 1) and let me know what it would be.
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.
Emphasis is mine.

Ahhh good old Humble Bundle... gotta love it. Its ok, at least one (I only checked Monster Prom 3: Monster Roadtrip because that was the first on the list and already fitted the requirements so didn't look further) of the giveaways you have created fits the requirements so we can easily count that for "option 2" so you don't have to create a GA for "Bomb Rush Cyberfunk" later if you don't want to. Thank you for all the giveaways btw! :)
Also I just saw and accepted your friend request now, but I assume you have added me due to this issue?

Hi predictablenat, you are welcome to join with option 2. Join request approved, welcome to the group! Please make the giveaway as soon as you can :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello! i would like to join with Option 1 since ive seen an increase in the amount of bots in each giveaway i enter and ive been some time looking for a group with real people or some kind of publishers that do the giveaways for the people to play their games.
Some years ago i won The mims beginning and ive never really gave it a chance, so now i belive it is a good oppotunity.
Ive already been in other groups that involve people receiving games to play them (most notably indie game collective via twitter, from wich i received Sizeable and left a review on its steam page) so i understand the logistics of the distribution methods or requirements to join the giveaways in this case.
Thanks for reading!
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi llM4x1m0ll, you are welcome to join by playing The Mims Beginning, let me know once you beat the game and enjoy! Quick headsup about the game about something I learned the hard way: it doesn't save mid level, so you either have to finish the level or restart from the beginning of it if you quit,
Comment has been collapsed.
I was wondering if it would be possible to rejoin the group?
I was previously a member of Playing Appreciated in 2023, and I failed to play through The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope and Life is Strange 2 in time in June 2023. I have completed both since.
Link to my PA website profile with my wins.
Link to my Life is Strange 2 achievements.
Link to my The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope achievements.
Also later while not in PA anymore, I won Amnesia The Dark Descent giveaway from another group that was also shared with Playing Appreciated. Though winning it from a different group, I finished that game, as well. The giveaway was for The Dark Descent, but the key given to me activated both Amnesia games, The Dark Descent, and A Machine for Pigs. I also finished both of them. Link to my Amnesia The Dark Descent achievements and to my Amnesia A Machine for Pigs achievements.
Fun fact: end of that June 2023 I was robbed and my computer was stolen which lead me to not being on Steam and Steamgifts until November that year while I sorted everything. But that didn't influence me with the PA wins, as I was already few days over the deadline for LiS2 when I was robbed, and I hadn't yet finished LiS2, so maybe it was karma. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi UnknownEAK, since you have now played the outstanding winnings and it was your first time being kicked (if you get kicked again there is no option to rejoin anymore) you are welcome to rejoin now! I have sent you a friend request so I can reinvite you, please leave me a message here once you accept it so I don't forget.
And about the last paragraph: I don't think that is karma, noone deserves having that happen to them. But holy shit, that sucks so much, sorry to hear it happened to you. I hope you managed to get your stuff back somehow or it was at least resolved in a satisfying manner and the person who has done it was caught.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you, I accepted the friend request! :)
And I was partly joking about the karma, I just thought it is a funny coincidence! Unfortunately, never got my things back, nor the person who did it was ever caught (as far as I know anyway), and the biggest worry actually was all the accounts I had on the computer that would auto log in (so dealing with that and resetting passwords and such), but thankfully it seems the person never unlocked my computer (probably factory reset it). So, it could have been much worse, and it is also long enough ago that I can mostly laugh about it now. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Invite sent! Welcome back to the group :)
Ahhh that super sucks that neither of the 2 things happened. But I am glad at least it wasn't an even bigger headache to have to deal with stolen accounts. I hope you never have to deal with that again.
