How could he do that? I mean if you don't make mini-puzzles, bots will claim them. Unless.... WAIT A MINUTE! It's an intelligent bot! Run for your keys everybody!

It had a crappy "Find out if you won" "Giveaway". I failed to get even one of the keys, but anyway. It would only sit in my Library even if I got one :D

BTW bots are just people constantly refreshing sites, and searching for keys, while Steam's Key Activator is open. They can copy-paste the key so fast, they could give an insta headshot to everyone in CS:GO :P

There's no fate, no luck, just probability and chance.

I still picked luck over fate, though. :P

Both say that you can't control what happens in your future, so it's kinda the same.

I believe, but in KARMA. That's why, not much, but I'm giving away on this site :P Money can bring me joy, but sharing it and helping someone gives alot more. And otherwise I also believe that life is something more than procreate and paying bills.

The answer may be either (if you take 'luck' in a very broad sense).

If SteamGifts uses a pseudo random number generator, it's (most likely) fate, as you could pre-determine the winner by knowing the pseudo random algorithm and the time the winner would be selected, which if you subscribe to any deterministic philosophy, is also pre-determined (even if we humans don't have the capabilities of figuring out when that is ourselves). Of course, there is still one potentially random factor and that is the number of entrants. I personally don't believe in actual free will and whether our thoughts and actions are the slaves of randomness and/or causality is beyond me, however for the sake of arguments let's say we are creatures of causality, in which case the number of entrants and who the entrants are is also static and pre-determined, but if you don't, then obviously the number of entrants almost guarantees a different winner given the same randomly selected number (and the order the entrants entered may also change the outcome). (yay run on sentences)

If SteamGifts uses a true random number generator then it really depends on the method whether it's fate (given the argument above) or luck (again in the broad sense of the term). Some true random number generators use the time a radioactive element decays to generate random numbers, which given our current understanding of physics is a truly random event. RANDOM.ORG uses atmospheric noise to help populate random numbers, I'd be incline to lump this in with the "fate" category given my deterministic tendencies :D

Which religion believes in fate?

I'm not sure religion necessarily dictates fate, since there is always the free will paradox- if things are fated, there is no free will, and many theological concepts are strengthened by the concept of free will (such as elective salvation, in which the believer is saved by a personal decision of faith).

Neither, I believe in numbers, statistics and facts. You can't measure luck.
