Christmas is around the corner and so is the Steam Gift Contest! Get your gifting face on.

-----

RULES

For the newbies, rules are simple:

- Do you want to get free games? Post your Steam wishlist and someone will gift you stuff!
- 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.
- 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

As in recent contests there will be 10 giftboxes. Each one of these is worth $10, and each will be given to a gifter from the gift list at random. Additionally, 2 gift boxes will be given to the person who'll gift the most stuff and 1 to the second person.

This puts the total prize of the contest at $130.

Additionally, if you have a giftbox remaining from a past contest (listed in the Winners tab) you can claim it at any point.

Prizes can be redeemed for either games, Paypal/Amazon/whatever credit, or kept in the abovementioned tab for when you see something you fancy.

DEADLINE

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

ARCHIVE

All entries will be kept in a Google Doc: https://bit.ly/2YOxiWM

All people who want to help keeping this doc up-to-date are welcome, just PM me your Google account so that I can add you. By default, everyone who helped in the past have been added.

-----

Before we begin, an announcement: I will be retiring from hosting the Steam Gift Contests after this one. I have been coming less and less often to GameFAQs lately, so this feels like a good place to stop. Plus, since I use FF quotes for contest titles I wouldn't even know what to use for the next one.

I won't be definitely leaving though, and if someone (or someones) picks up the torch for next Summer I will be around, participating rather than organizing.

It has been an amazing 7 years of generosity, let's end it with a bang.

Tag. I was absent from this for the summer sale because my wife had us strictly adhering to a minimalist budget...we've been saving nearly $4000 every month...because we signed papers on a new home construction back in May. Its been a wild year but the house should be done in the next few weeks and escrow closing should happen soon after that. ^_^

Anyway yeah, kept my head out of the sale topic so I wouldn't be tempted to gift or post my list, but I miss the camaraderie so I'll stick around to update the google doc. >.>

@Highwind07 need wishlist link for google doc <3

Also have some humble monthly stuff to give away if anyone wants it:

  • Call of Duty WWII
  • Full Metal Furies
  • Sword Legacy Omen
  • My Time at Portia
  • Chasm
  • Soul Calibur VI
  • Synthetik Legion Rising
  • Sniper Elite 3
And if anyone had the Crash N Sane Trilogy on their wishlist prior to today...first person to link theirs gets it. I only got the humble monthly in November for Spyro, was never a Crash fan (don't kill me pls) >.>

Oh? Damn. I wish I wasn't so fucking broke this year. These are fun to participate in.

I've participated in the past few, but my family and I are currently (barely) getting by just on my income, because my wife is really dragging her feet on getting a new job since we've moved to Maryland.

Yup, know the feeling, for 3 years I've been homeless, only just now getting a place a few weeks ago, so while I'd love to be able to give back more than just leftover keys...I really can't haha

Yeah. We just moved here for my job. I make enough that the essentials are covered, but barely, so no disposable income or anything to save.

Yeah, it happens...I just wish I did have the money now that I'm settled in, but sadly, as is the case with you, I'm only making enough to cover the immediate essentials right now haha

Man, the end of an era... Bless everyone in these things.

I'm gonna skip this year again as much as I hate to miss the last one. Money is just too tight to gift. I missed almost a month of work due to illness in November and I've got bill money but nothing extra :/

Definitely on my radar, though March is so heavy loaded for me, that I'm gonna have to be choosy with my purchases, especially since my entertainment budget is gonna be very limited XD

Currently marathoning the FF games that I have on Steam leading up to FF7R...so that's FF4, 5, and 6 that I plan on finishing before March 3rd XD

As others said, I was planning to skip these topics this year but if it might be TC's last time hosting, let's give it one last shot per tradition:

https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561198010397798/#sort=order

I also have a GoG one this year as well:

And thanks to TC and all the others who helped keep the topics and gifting alive throughout the years.

Back in the day we showed respect this way: o7

But I think kids these days just press F for it: F

...yeah its a busy time for sure. Cyberpunk, P5 Royal, Last of Us 2...I'm definitely getting RE3, though. RE2 has been my personal GOTY.

Speaking of which...they finally pushed out an update for RE2 on steam so I could get that achievement for Jill's letter and now I have my 100% back again. ^_^

Admittedly, I haven't really played the RE games, since I really only started giving horror games a chance a few years back, I do have the REmake and Code Veronica X on the ps4 though, so I'll probably start there XD

I've just been on an FF binge due to the FF7R hype train, as much flak as FF13 gets, that trilogy, and FF3 are the only FFs I have yet to beat, so aside from my "play all FF games I have leading up to 7R" marathon, I'm hoping that those are on sale, so I can finally say I've beaten every FF XD
