Won’t ever happen. Do you own research by clicking on the store link.
For me, the game descriptions are hardly ever the decider on whether I buy a game. They are often horrible or too vague to help me make a decision on the game without also looking at the videos and images, even reviews.

Yeah, I've been burned too. BUT in some ways the randomness is part of the fun, you end up trying something new that you wouldn't otherwise. But for instance I know that I should never enter precision platformers because I'm never going to "get gud" enough. Description (or tags or whatever) would make it easier to skip over those so somebody else can have a better chance. And the photos are usually not enough to tell you that kind of detail.

best off just looking at the store page, the little brief description is completely unused for deciding if I have interest in a game.
watch the trailers, look at the screenshots, read some of the reviews(negative and positive!), look at the community hub

You only do it once per game and then remember which game is worth entering GAs for and which game isn't. Most GAs are bundled games, so the games repeat quite often.

I don't like it because everyone would get used to this text being in the giveaway descriptions and then people would stop reading the descriptions. When a giveaway creator has something useful they want to put in the description, nobody is going to read it.
If I am entering for a game, I already know what that game is and don't need the description on the giveaway page. If I don't know what the game is, I want to open the Steam page to learn more about the game and need to see tags, review score, and the game trailer. I personally think the game description on the giveaway page would feel like spam or unneeded clutter.

I'd be more choosy in my entries if I knew a bit about the game beyond it's image. Sure you can click thru, but with chances of winning around 1/1000 on a good day, that often doesn't happen.
So I'm wondering if when giveaways are made if it would be possible for this website to automatically copy the game's 250 character description from steam into the giveaway description? Sure you can do that manually, but 99% of people don't. Honestly, I've not been doing that myself, but I do have a 1 sentence summary for each game, which serves the same purpose.
And in the case that people don't like the store description they could just delete it and write whatever they want. The idea would be to default to something useful.
