Current Events > Steam Winter Sale Gift Contest XIX: The Tradition Continues! (Part 1)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hello Everyone!

@TroutPaste and I are happy to present the Steam Winter Sale Gift Contest once again! Up to part XIX now, this would not be possible without all of your generosity!

RULES

For the newbies, rules are simple:

- Do you want to get free games? Post your Steam wishlist and someone will gift you stuff!
*up to 3 different times in each topic. once the topic hits 500 and closes, we create another one and you can post another 3 times again in the next new topic
**Make sure your Steam wishlist is publicly viewable!
***Make sure you accept friend requests in order to give and receive gifts! Allow others to add you / be added in your Steam Settings!

- Feeling generous? Gift something to someone and you'll get a chance to win prizes!

That's the basics. Here's a couple additional things to keep in mind (since in every contest people ask the same questions):

- When gifting, please put somewhere in the gift message your GFAQs username. It helps keeping things straight. Preferably do an @ username so its easily identifiable.
- When you receive a gift, please post in the topic saying what you received and from whom.
- While this is called "Steam" gift topic, it isn't limited to it. Basically as long as the gift is a game, it counts.
- Gifters get one entry per gifted game. At the end of the contest I'll randomly pick a few winners entry from the pool, so the more you gift the more you can win!
- For giveaways of codes gotten from a bundle, you get one entry per 5 games gifted.
- You don't get entries from games you got for free.
- Gifts done elsewhere in GameFAQs count, as long as they have been gifted after the creation of this topic.
- To avoid getting the topic saturated, you can only post a link to your wishlist thrice per topic. You are free to put it in your sig for normal posts, though.
- Also to limit topic saturation, if you have a list of bundle codes for people to grab please limit posting them to thrice per topic.
- Before posting in the next topic, please wait until this one hits 500.

PRIZES

At the moment, we have some end reward contributions from the following users:
@bluezero - I'll definitely give away one $10 game at the end. I'm in the USA for regional purposes.
@Lokison - Edit 2: I'll toss in $15 for the end gift. Just PM me details on how to go about it.
@dummy420 - I'll toss in a $20 digital gift card towards prizes. Hows this work out?
@EvilResident - $5

@AlCalavicci I can contribute a gift as long as someone else can do the random drawing. I can gift any (1) game on one winning user's wishlist, up to $30USD value.
@Flauros - will randomly pick one of the top winners to give away a game at the end

So right now, $50 total for end prizes, if anyone else wants to contribute let us know so we can add it into the pot.

DEADLINE

Deadline for entering the contest is two (or three) days before the end of the Steam sales. That will give us enough time to give prizes for cheap, so you guys will get more games.

ARCHIVE

All entries will be kept in a Google Doc, @ArchangelBaruch can we count on you to be one of the main updaters of the Google Doc? :)

:D heck yeah, it's that time o' year again. Has the winter sale on Steam started yet?

Taggity

Thanks for setting this up. I've been a little busy lately so I haven't been on, but I can contribute a gift as long as someone else can do the random drawing. I can gift any (1) game on one winning user's wishlist, up to $30USD value.

OK, turns out I only have two codes to give away atm. Might have some old Humble Bundle codes I need to dig thru too.

They're GOG codes. If anyone wants them I have Journey To Savage Planet and Frostpunk to give away

EDIT: Yeah, looks like I have an old Humble code to give away too... But I have no idea what it is lmao

Could I have Journey To Savage Planet ?

So I just post my Steam wishlist? I only have two released games on it and I'll probably be getting Death's Door on the Epic Game Store due to the coupon so that just leaves Fairune Collection.

@fire_bolt i'll try my luck with the humble bundle code :)

@EvilResident can you make it clear in the OP that for people posting their wishlists, they need to pay attention to friend requests in order to get a gift? You have to be steam friends to gift a game, I remember this being a pain point in past contests.

First post in here.

There are some games I would love off the sale beyond the "Top" games. Pathfinder: Kingmaker, any of the Jackbox Party packs, Phasmophobia, 7 Days to die, any of the Stellaris DLC I am missing, etc etc.

But I am good with just about anything.

Has gifting changed at all on Steam? Or do you still need to add them as a friend first?

Still need to add them, unless you gift a code from other site.
