Maybe If I feed you with free
quality
games, you will stop calling me a scumbag, an asshole and a poor shot. Enjoy the summer Steamgaf

I wish Bethesda would bring back ET:QW to Steam already. It (well, Zenimax) owns the game, unlike the awkward situation that saw Wolf09 enter distribution limbo.

You're okay in my book, Sub Zero. I personally am generally against what is probably best called exploiting a promotion. I know that my morals are not the rest of the world's morals, though.

It doesn't matter if some others look down on your specific morals as long as you actually have some and consider them, as opposed to just always doing what is best for you.

Personally, I think since we're all on SteamGAF and not just getting all of our games from PirateBay, I wouldn't expect many, if any, of us to be horrible people :p

There's been a few horrible people.
They usually don't last long, though.
Sub Zero is not one of them.
He's good people.

Dunno if I can enter or not. I have pretty much all the games excluding the last Wolfenstein, in case of winning can i Take only that game or I'll waste other games I already own? I really don't want to trash some goods titles.-

You won't receive giftable extras of the titles that you already own, no.

I'm pretty sure you can't. I expect most people to own the majority of the games in the bundle (Skyrim, Dishonored, the Dooms etc) so it's ok if you enter for Wolf TNO or TESO. Just don't be greedy and enter for the single piece of Dishonored/Skyrim dlc you're missing :p
 
seems my post ended up lost. here's some games:

I'm actually curious to see if my giveaway gets more than 254 entrants, which is my previous record with Witcher 3. Should be hard since the W3 giveaway happened during the summer sale

Also, several people won't enter because they have some/many of the games in that bundle.

Still, great stuff.

Right...but looking at it, it doesn't look as good as Metro:Last Light, which is like 14GB. Have they just not bothered to compress anything?

Much the opposite, in fact. Generally speaking, textures in modern games max out at 8k by 8k and are repeated throughout a level, whereas id Tech 5 games feature no texture repetition at all. It's a double-edged sword: by covering levels with a single super-huge texture you've greater artistic variety with a comparatively smaller memory footprint at the cost of file size, the total of which must remain within a reasonable ballpark. Wolf14 fares better than Rage as far as texture detail/sharpness is concerned, but not by much since the game has far more content yet had to fit on a 50GB BD (roughly twice the size of Rage).

Well if there are a lot of people like me, no.

I am not entering because I'd only really want maybe one game, so I would feel super bad for wasting the rest when it could go to someone who would get a ton of games from it.

Of that bundle, I only own base Skyrim and base Dishonored.
Would be fair to enter?

He seems a'ight wit it. I own exactly none of the games, I'm in.
