Hi there,

I thought suggesting this would be a nice idea, so here we go:

Everyone can access the Community wishlist, from time to time I try to find out some games that are wanted by the SG community but not often given away.
Question: What does the counter display? Open giveaways for the game? Giveaways within the last week / month?

Let's take the #1 wishlist ga Cuphead for example:
I have no option to filter the open giveaways for cuphead in the community wishlist tab.
Only option, I can see there are (or were?) xyz giveaways of cuphead and it's trending positively, and I can also access the steamstore page.

So I'd like to propose that we add a link to the open giveaways for every game, it's basically just a link to the ID of the game I guess.
I would add the hyperlink either in the number of gibs or the thumbnail / bold title of the game in the list (see pic below).
Since we can access the open giveaways anyway by searching for the title / klicking the magnifier, I see no reason why it should be hidden on the community wishlist page.

It would be much easier to see if there are a lot of giveaways going on for some game that I'd pick to giveaway to the community next.

TL;DR:
Add a link to "open giveaways you can join" for the titles in community wishlist, like this:

what you're suggesting would open a backdoor to non-public gibs

I don't think so, it would just be like clicking on the 🔍 button next to the title of any giveaway

No it wouldn't because I only see giveaways by searching that I am eligible for.
Thanks for the info about the counter!

If you use Enhaced Steamgifts, you can also filter a game by one click.

Do you know how long this will be to develop? Last year cg wanted do a script to not allow any auto join bot. Months later, the bots still exist. Might be a good suggestion but it will take ages to develop it.

Ages? Really? I'm a web developer myself and it's just a simple link. They already have the app ID, they just have to wrap the number with a link that redirects to https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?app=[app ID] In fact, if you are an ESGST user, you can see it in action since they added it as a part of the script, so they might not really have to add it themselves at all.
