Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Even if it isn't against the Family Sharing TOS, it's certainly not what Valve had in mind for the service. And I'm sure more than a few Valve employees browse GAF. All it takes is for the wrong one to see the giveaway for the whole thing to get shut down, or worse.

(Sorry to be a downer here. I really do think Jase's giveaway is amazing.)

Why would they care who you deem worthy to be your share-mate?

He is not selling access, he just wants to share, isn't that the point of family sharing?

Please note that Jase does indeed already have Rage, so if you win there's no need for you to trade his entire library for it.

Mr. C, if this whole thing ends up going sour, you're welcome to family share my games on your new account. It's not much in comparison, and it's only awesome(ly bad) games, but the offer is there. Unless you got in trouble for cross-region sharing or something, then nevermind.

Is this serious? I doubt Valve gives a shit, if anything JaseC is one of their best customers.
 
Wow JaseC, that's crazy generous. Good luck to everyone eligible.

I started playing banner saga today and am loving it so far. Combat us fun, story us interesting and man they throw some tough choices at you. I like that there usually isn't a a clear good/bad choice and I'm actually having a hard time deciding what to do.

That is a truly amazing giveaway JaseC. To think how many games that could then be played... to think of how much money that would be saved and could be used for other giveaways by the winner.

My Steam account is 3 years old! :D

Happy Steam Birthday. Make sure to celebrate it by playing your favourite game on it and then one game you haven't played yet.

Since I've the space to use, I thought this might be fun:



If anybody thinks they can attempt to get away with submitting a support ticket with Valve to claim ownership, I can only say that I've been using the same PayPal account and the same debit card for the past several years, and have many physical copies of games to submit as evidence...

...so, basically, don't be stupid. You won't get far. Be smart, though, and, well, you'll more or less never have to pay for another Steam game again.

Good luck.

Entered to steal account.

Wow at that giveaway JaseC.


And good luck everyone.
I have no idea if I'm eligible or not (if the mega giver cap is 3 months, then probably not), but I entered anyway.

HAHAHAHA, this is bonkers Jase


i'm entering, don't think I'm near 25 games, but on a night like this surely even modbot must be sipping champagne?

I don't think it's such a big deal. It's just 1 person out of how many active users Steam has? Also JaseC equals to like 100 regular active Steam accounts.

Not related to the mother of all giveaways (I'm waaay behind), just bad timing.

I don't think Valve specifically cares, no. Or at least they wouldn't, if not for the crazy size of Jase's account. That's a LOT of games the winner would have access to. And I'm not the only one in the thread to say that it's at least a bit risky. I don't know, I guess I'm just putting myself in Jase's shoes here, and in his position I probably wouldn't do such a giveaway, just out of worry for what might happen. But then I worry way too much. Again, I'm not saying the giveaway is a bad thing. Far from it!

(Not really, since there was a lot of sudden bundle dumping going on to qualify since it was introduced)

it's definitely an exercise in trust.

they gave us this feature to use, i'm sure they expected something like this. I might see issue arising from cross region sharing.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.

Why give away one game when you can give all the games?

There should be a new Modbot Rule exclusively for JaseC, Supreme Giver or something like that.

And now for something completely different; Shovel Knight looks awesome. Any SteamGaffers with impressions?
 
How do you check games given away again? And it should be made give away 5 hot games or something of that nature because bundle trash is kind of cheating
and I don't care

I'll wait on JaseC's follow up giveaway, when he completely snaps and offers up his entire account without restrictions... Can't be far off now, it's the only way he'll top this.

I wouldn't do anything of sort what Jasec just did in my life, for any reasons.
I'm not entering myself either, and I hope that whoever wins is worth of this kind of trust.

so since i started using shadowplay i tried to make some webms, still need to figure out how to make the quality not shit though (these have sound if you're at work (stop browsing neogaf))

How are you going about making those if you don't mind me asking. I followed this guide yet still doesn't work for me. Also the second one is great.
