I'll put up $10 or $20 in prizes. I'd prefer to give to Steam gifts only. It's a good place to unload keys but I think that gets in the way of the process. If we're on a 2 week timetable for Steam sales, shouldn't it be about that? If you want to count keys towards your prizes, that's fine... this is just my choice. Meaning the stuff I give away when the sale is over

Good place to discuss a few things, logistics, if anyone else is willing to offer up a prize. Mine would be a random drawing at the end, using a number randomizer

@EvilResident

We also have a dead Discord server, from a few sales ago... which I'd post but I'm hesitant (cuz I don't know if I have mod powers to keep trolls out)

I think like half of CE is banned, none of the old usernames from Steam Gift Contest XVI are popping up

Not asking for anything, just wondering who's like to participate (or be informed when it starts). I know the last year could have been tough financially (was for me), but I thought these @ would get the ball rolling

I might join, but I'd need to prune out my wishlist first. Since a lot of stuff on there is stuff that's included in game pass, which I plan on getting in the near future

I normally just send out gifts throughout the events, but I'm down for doing 2 $10 prizes this time around as well.

I might see if any of my old keys are still around since I can't afford more...it got a bit hard to remember what has been claimed now that Humble Monthly counts all keys as claimed right away instead of when they're actually used

Thanks for the tag Trout

Maybe you can and I don't know how, but I wish I could just get a code I could copy and paste to send to someone. I don't want to become Friends with someone on Steam to Gift them a game. I want to PM someone and say, "Here is $20 in Steam Points, buddy!"

But you can't do that, right? You have to buy a game for them on Steam

When I say points, I mean money. You know those $20 cards you can buy at Best Buy to get $20 worth of Steam Game? I want to give people those codes, or just Gift them a game, but without having to add them to my Steam Friend List

TC, here is code for $20 on Steam, buddy! xxxx:xx:xxxx:xx whatever.

You can't send Steam gift cards like that. The recipient of the gift card has to be on your friends list for a period of three or more days prior to you sending them the gift card.

https://store.steampowered.com/digitalgiftcards/selectgiftcard

Are there any restrictions on purchasing digital gift cards?
You and your friend must both have Steam accounts and you'll need to be friends on Steam. You can purchase Steam digital gift cards for any user that you have had on your friends list for at least 3 days. Please note that you cannot use existing wallet funds to purchase a digital gift card.

Yeah, I didn't think so. I hate it. I've always wanted to buy games for people on here or over on Reddit, but I'm not able to without having them on my Steam Friend List, and I don't want that.

You can buy game codes off humble/fanatical/etc, just not wallet funds.

But why not Steam? What's so hard about giving Steam money to help someone else out? Why can't it be an option when I click to buy a game? Get Game Code or something

I personally can't gift/receive Humble codes since they only work for the continent/country they're purchased in, and most people here don't live in Germany...

You used to be able to buy game gifts that you could trade, but I believe it got abused a lot with credit card fraud.

I live in Finland and Last sale someone gifted me a code they got through either fanatical or humble I believe, because they couldn't gift me a game through steam because the dollar/euro price difference was too big.

Broke as fuck atm. Doubt I'll be able to participate but I've just over a 1/45,000,000 chance to win the lottery on Friday, so you never know! of course, I have to remember to actually buy a ticket; I keep forgetting ><

Regarding keys:
To my knowledge it was only the last sale where keys counted. Personally I don't mind either way. Although if I do find any old keys I have (I'm sure I've a few somewhere) and give them away, I won't expect to go into the draw - after all, if I'd found some last week, I'd have just given them away on the Free Games board anyway so seems wierd to me to possibly get a prize for giving them away during a certain period. That's just me though - as I said, I don't mind what you end up deciding on.

Edit:
K-driver posted... I live in Finland and Last sale someone gifted me a code they got through either fanatical or humble I believe, because they couldn't gift me a game through steam because the dollar/euro price difference was too big.
Fanatical keys are often multi-region, Humble not so much. The price difference thing is so annoying; first time I did this I added half a dozen people as friends solely to gift them, then found out that I couldn't buy anything on any of their wishlists for them due to the price difference. Felt like a right arsehole; "Hey, accept my friend request please, I want to gift you." "Sure." "Oh, actually I can't."...
