Topic	B8's 4th annual STEAM SECRET SANTA! [SIGN-UP UNTIL DEC 16] [GIFT BY CHRISTMAS]
KCF0107 12/20/17 12:39:11 AM #141:	I'm not sure how many of those offer gifting options. I know Xbox does and Playstation doesn't. While I'm not fully sure on this, I think you can with some of the others but only if you buy codes for stuff and then send said codes to person via PM, email, Discord messages, or however you wish to contact them. Personally, I like the simplicity of just making it Steam games. It is equally as simple to determine if someone owns a particular game or not. I think that others could get complicated if more platforms/services were added for obvious reasons and also because I'm unsure how many have the following: - Some kind of wishlist function or at least have gametime tracking so users can see what kinds of games a user plays - Ability to add peoples as friends to see if X user owns Y game - If above is a no-go, then the ability to provide a link or screenshot of all the games that B user owns on C platform/service I am just going to buy via Steam as opposed to places that sell Steam keys like Humble and Fanatical because I like sending the games directly (and the option for the person to receive them at a specific time) and also because I like to imagine seeing someone minding their own business on their computer and getting a notification that they have received a gift and being very excited as they are surprised with the pictures of the games that I have sent them (along with a message). Getting a PM or whatever with just a bunch of random letters and numbers or links for you redeem a gift seems, I don't know, less exciting and less in the spirit of a secret santa. It that ends up costing me a couple extra dollars, so be it. It's totally worth it. It has that much extrinsic value to me. However, if someone wants to go the key route, I ultimately have no qualms with that. Obviously, everyone participating this year consented to a Steam Secret Santa, so it would unfair and disrespectful to make any modifications at this point. This is Kora's thing though, so what he says goes. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:892545070] in B8's 4th a...
