Steam Wishlist (Free games from steam! )

theshadowcult · Nov 24, 2010, 04:35 PM

Steam is doing a thing, where from the 24th to the 29th, 30 people per day will win the top five games on their wishlist. So get cracking.

http://store.steampowered.com/

You add things to your list, by viewing the game and their is a wishlist button on each game's page.

Jet Black · Nov 24, 2010, 04:36 PM

You do realize you're just hurting your own chances by encouraging more people to make wishlists, right?

theshadowcult · Nov 24, 2010, 04:42 PM

Yes, but i don't mind

Anyways, i only did a search for wishlist, didn't see there was already a thread for this, so it can be deleted when you want Mods

spindoctor · Nov 24, 2010, 04:43 PM

30 million steam users. 3 million users online concurrently. 30 prizes a day.

theshadowcult · Nov 24, 2010, 05:42 PM

30 winners, 150 prizes

Yea.. It's a lottery that is free. Who gives a **** what the chances are?

Play it, if you win awesome, if not, oh well

My list:
Portal 2
Deus Ex Human Revolution
Super meat boy
Civ 5
Amnesia The Dark descent

theshadowcult · Nov 24, 2010, 06:07 PM

Damn, i forgot Portal 2... however you guys should check the entry requirements, i doubt games like Portal 2 which are not even available for pre order and don't have a price tag will count, and therefore being in the top 5 of your wishlist you won't be eligible for prizes. However it doesn't actually specify that, it simply says Individual Games, so who knows.

Chubz · Nov 24, 2010, 06:08 PM

Meh, not even going to waste my time. Too many users, and the chances are too slim.

I do hope they have some good sales, though.

TheScott2K · Nov 24, 2010, 06:15 PM

Trying on the off chance that it's rigged for longtime customers with a large library.

Well now

Perky McGiggles · Nov 25, 2010, 09:59 AM

I doubt I'll win but I got mine set up. I'll be impressed if anyone I know or anyone here actually gets some free games. The odds are pretty heavily against us.

OverclockN' · Nov 25, 2010, 10:21 AM

Are any of you guys having issues logging into Steam? I've never had a problem before, now it's an issue. I'm logged in on my account with the software, but it takes forever for the store page to load and then it eventually says error finding page or something.

...eh, finally got it to load afer several attempts. Maybe the servers are getting hammered?? Didn't think the deals were that good myself.

OverclockN' · Nov 25, 2010, 10:23 AM

My list:

Fallout: New Vegas
Mafia II
Dead Rising 2
Bioshock 2
Need For Speed: Shift

Just type in the "number" you want them to be and hit Save. It will reorder them.

Eligibility: Entry open to any user holding a Steam account in good standing, who completes a Wish List with at least ten (10) single game titles.

Make sure you guys put at least 10 games on your wishlist if you want to be eligible. I didn't read the fine print at first

Tizen · Nov 25, 2010, 02:21 PM

Note the single game. No packs

GanjaStar · Nov 25, 2010, 02:22 PM

i was trying to reorder in the the browser in stead of the steam client one

Nagorak · Nov 26, 2010, 11:17 PM

The odds of winning are very low, but probably a bit higher than you'd expect, because not all steam users have a wishlist. In fact, I'd say most probably don't.

What is the point of adding a game that's not even out yet to your wishlist anyway? You can just get a game you want now and buy Portal 2 when it comes out. Especially considering Valve time, Portal 2 may not be out for another few years. In fact by the time it comes out you're actually getting less due to inflation.

theshadowcult · Nov 27, 2010, 02:38 AM

If your only in this to get the most you can get, your kind of missing the point of both the wishlist and gaming in general...
