If you mean probation ,I don't know what that mean,and how long it will be active ? somebody know anything about that ?

You are not on probation.

My understanding is you were kicked out because of the other thing, you know the thing I'm talking about.

It's the thing you keep ignoring posts about, that's the thing.

You only click "sent gift" on the site to show that you've sent it externally through Steam itself.

I am a huge fan of Remedy and I enjoy supporting them as much as I can.

I went for the HumbleBundle deal and would like to give away my copies of Alan Wake: Collector's Edition and American Nightmare. People on here have been generous to me so I would like to return that generosity with a game that I loved.

Good luck!

I got them to give away here too, but I'll wait till yours and Irishoob's are done!

Invite please.

I pressed a button to get the winners email, then another button showed up offering to choose another winner.. Looks to have worked anyway!

Wow, I havn't used SteamGifts in 11 months. :eek:
Anyway I don't meet the requirements for the group but just wanted to get some more entries for my new Atom Zombie Smasher giveaway, maybe a boardsie might win.

Offtopic (not sure where to post?) I've got 3 Steam Trading Card invites I can send and I've also got 2 75% off Shogun 2 coupons that expire today (23rd) at 18:00 GMT.

superb choice of username

Hey, quick question. I'm not quite sure how widespread this was (I have read of others having the same problem), but I have ended up with tons of copies of Dota2. Is there any demand for copies? If so, I'll post them up if you wanna add http://steamcommunity.com/id/daniel9829/

You need 1 more post!:P

Arg, seems can't even give Dota away on the site anyway, too many copies out there! Meh, if on the off chance anyone hasn't a copy then send us a pm sure.

Is it possible to get keys for games you bought in steam but haven't downloaded yet so you can give them away? Or do you have select "buy as a gift" when you first buy it?

If you don't specify it's a gift when purchasing on Steam, it's tied to your account unfortunately, whether you've DLed it or not. Basically, if it's in your "Library" you can't gift it.

Nollog

Reminder that it ends in a day.
Also, wanted to see if I could master the image-link-fu.

Zillah

This "start time" thing is strange. I now have to wait until 3PM before it goes live. Weird. Anyway, free Half Life 2 is coming soon. In the mean time, I can't seem to give away the 75% off voucher for Shogun 2 without direct contact, so if anyone wants that PM me asap (expires at 6PM tonight) with details and I'll send it on.

Skerries

there's a button to start your giveaway "now" or you can set it for whatever time you want

Zillah

Oh. Well then. Apparently I am bad at the internet.

OK GO

Ah that's a shame, have an impulse buy or two I probably won't get around to playing for a long time that I could have given away.

So next time I buy something, if I buy it as a gift do I still have the option to use it myself?

degrassinoel

I'm reasonably sure you can purchase any game as a gift, and use the gift on your own account by adding it from your steam inventory, though I've never tried it. Anytime i got a gift of a full game from a preorder or whatever i gave it away

MitchKoobski

Rule #1 of any Steam sale is buy everything as a gift in case you have second thoughts. If you really want it you can install it then. I've since adopted this for pretty much every purchase on Steam.

Right that makes sense, I've only been on steam a month and have already bought stuff I'm not sure I'll ever get around to playing!

Read that as "I have 8 DOTA 2 gifts. Shift me."

Falthyron

Perhaps it is time for a Mod to put a message in the first post (preferably in large bold writing) informing people that it would be easier and more beneficial to the entire Boards Community if you deleted your DOTA2 invites... :P

There aren't that many in the group who have given away over $30 worth of stuff, so you probably shouldn't expect too many entrants.

I have sent €30 worth of stuff and I needed €30.01 to entry. FML

That's right.
You can add it to your inventory and then add it to your own library at any time.

This is knowledge I gained from steam sales.

Can I get an invite? Never used SteamGifts before but it seems a cool idea. Steam Profile.
