Please tell me what it is when I lose this one, too.
I'm not a fan of these "mystery" raffles. There's already a lot of people winning games they already have, or that they don't want, and also the winner may be locked out of other raffles as a result.
You can, but you'd still be locked out of other raffles that limit the last time you won a raffle.
Since there's a 99% chance I own the mystery game already, or have no interest in it, I never enter them.
Edit: Should have mentioned that I don't mind the mystery giveaways, and I see how they're fun for others. All giveaways obviously don't need to be made specifically for me. Create the giveaways you want!

I mean when you have the key and redeem it you see what the game is but then it's already too late. If you don't want the game it will just sit there in your library (probably hidden as well), other people might have wanted the game the game instead so it's kinda wasted.
That's why I don't enter these giveaways much less buy them.
Problem solved then? No one is forcing anyone to enter any giveaway. If people find it fun, they know the "risks"
You just reminded me that my Win/Loss glitch actually locked me out of some raffles lol
which is fine, since i won in the end anyways 😏
I don't have a problem with them, and I'm not saying people shouldn't do them. I was just trying to answer a question about why re-gifting the key doesn't solve all of Sheepinator 's problems with them.
I see, sorry about that. I misread and thought you and Sheepinator were the same poster. I just am somewhat tired of people complaining about the manner in which people are giving things away for free.
I really wish I could enter 😭 still in junior hell for the foreseeable future
I probably should have mentioned that I don't mind the mystery giveaways, and think they could be fun for other people in my post. I can easily see how it comes across as being in full agreement with his post of not liking those giveaways.
Less than an hour left on the last of my key stockpile! Still plenty of games with zero entries, so you can score a guaranteed win if the game interests you!

I like that some keep up the mystery giveaways. I love it when someone wins a mystery game but already own it, which means Steam will not tell them what it actually was. So they have to re-gift it and they still don't know what it is (unless they ask the original gifter, but that's no fun!)
I think people can choose for themselves if they wanna "waste" a win on a mystery game or not. Some might even be here just for the fun of that and not caring about the other giveaways.

No I will make one and charge hundreds of dollars. I clearly have the better business model here.
Only 13 entries? I own it on Switch so I wouldn't participate but it's a fantastic game.
After what feels like a million years, I finally won a giveaway (for a game that I didn't already own, I mean) and I am: so fucking happy!
Thanks so much to Nayishiki for Seasons After Fall, I had an eye on this cute indie platformer for quite a while, and I hope I'll enjoy it! I will now thank my SO and my cat for the emotional support throughout the tough times of losing so damn much I honestly lost count, and I also thank my mum & dad for always believing in me, knowing that I would make it big one day!
I finally made y'all, I finally won a game and added it to my library! What a feeling!
Congrats! Not to be a kiss-ass, but I almost you folks should get an extra entry for all your unpaid labour on here. 😅
Over a decade of internet 'like', 'fave', etc. culture gives me such an irrational urge to sign up for something like Stardew Valley for Switch. Which I already have, so I won't. But it's like ... it deserves to have lots of entries! Stardew-chan deserves to feel loved!
I do find a bit of irony in the mystery gift aways being time-locked themselves...
You do realise it's on sale really heavily right now, yeah?
All those Cod's gone
Congrats to winners though. =)
Lmao. That's how exactly how I feel. I even watched a raffle end before my very eyes, only for it not to tell me the winner and make me think it was unclaimed. In fact, it even let go through the "enter" phase again after the timer with game selection and Captcha and all and then said game had been taken. Wut? Is there some kind of glitch going on?
That's awesome idea. But also, might give insight at how low of chances you really had.
Seeing the number of entries when giveaway is still running is great but I was surprised to not see the final number of entrants when giveaway ends. This would be very helpful to know why someone didn't win at the end. :P
Humble is a store, they sell keys for other platforms when they get a chance.
Also when the creators select it, they probably mean it will be delivered in the form of a gift link.
