So we all know that /r/GiftofGames gets very busy when there's a sale on, especially the Steam Summer Sale. During this time, I'm sure that many requests were overlooked due to the sheer number of request posts that were coming in each day.

I usually prefer to fulfill requests rather than putting up offers because I believe someone requesting a specific game is more likely to play it than someone entering a giveaway with the hopes of winning whatever's on offer.

So, I am offering a second chance draw for those who missed out, however my offer is one with a difference. I have a number of items to give away, but I'm not going to divulge which ones - only to say that most of these were on offer during the Steam Summer Sale (one in particular is often requested but rarely gifted)

If you're unsure if the game you want is on offer, ask for it anyway. If I have it in my inventory and you meet my criteria, I will consider it.

So what do you need to do? Simply tell me why you want the game and convince me you will put many hours into it. Is the game on your wishlist? Have you asked for it previously? What can you tell me about the game? These are some of the things you may want to cover as part of your post.

I'd also recommend reading my guide to getting gifted to get an idea of what I (and perhaps other gifters) look for when considering requests. Reading it will very likely increase your chances here.

This time I will be giving away 3-5 games, possibly more.

Winners will be announced within 12-24 hours.

Terms & Conditions

1. You must have an active Reddit account 2 months or older

2. Your SteamID must be included in your post (preferably as a link)

3. Giveaway items are for personal use only. Winners must activate games immediately upon receiving them.

Things to be aware of

1. If your post history consists entirely of requests and giveaway entries, you are unlikely to be chosen.

2. There is still an element of luck involved - even if you make an excellent post, your chances are higher but you still may not win.

3. I do not respond to unsolicited PMs regarding game requests. Any such PMs will be ignored and reported to the mods.

Good luck!

EDIT #1

Thankyou to everyone who posted here, there are some great posts and I have read them all.

At the time of writing this paragraph, 23 hours have elapsed since I first posted the offer.

Since then, there have been 162 replies. 18 people confirmed that they have read my guide to getting gifted in its entirety, so I would like to extend a special thanks those people for taking the time to read my other post. I regret that I can't give everyone something in addition to my thanks.

I am going through all the responses now and will be updating the list of winners shortly.

EDIT #2

Congratulations to:

• kaizan23 - Skyrim
• bleedgr33n - Civ V Gold Edition upgrade
• Xemeriba - Kerbal Space Program
• timmaaykush - FTL
• Jfaz1 - Kerbal Space Program
• Tictacjo - Dark Souls™: Prepare To Die™ Edition
• Phaedrus0230 - Bastion
• Coolboypai - Borderlands 2

Let me conclude by saying there were a LOT of great posts here, some I would have liked to fulfill but do not currently have what they've asked for. On the flip side, there were some rather poorly written requests too. Those who read my Guide to Getting Gifted would know that I always overlook short 2-3 line requests, and there were a few of those here.

But overall, these were great to read. Thanks to everyone for participating.

Until next time :)
