    Someone just bought and gifted me a $60 game on Steam

    Is this a common thing? Buying games for people you don't know?

    The backstory:
    A few years ago I wrote an article on how to succeed at another game on single player playing on insanity mode. This guy over in Europe read that article and I guess it made a difference for him because today he messaged me thanking me profusely for writing it and then he sent me a gift game over Steam called "Dying Light", a zombie killer I think.

    Any of you played it? By the trailer it looks pretty good...





    I'm kind of floored by this. The gift I mean. He sent the $60 version, not the $19 one.

      Its a common way for people who have hacked steam to get access to other peoples info. A gift out of the blue? Doubtful. Be careful.

                      It came through the steam gift system, looks legit to me. I can double check with steam if I see anything out of the norm but so far nothing.

                          Seriously? I've been on a number of gaming and game forums for many years now, nothing like this has ever happened to me. But the guy didn't just send the game over, he was trying to get me on chat for nearly a year to thank me for that article I wrote (about the game Left4Dead if I recall correctly)

                          I got the impression he really likes this newer game and wants me to play it.

                                      In instant-messaging over the Steam chat thing with the guy it really doesn't feel like that's the case. It seems like I said he just really REALLY liked the step-by-step post on the Steam forums I made a few years ago about how best to successfully beat L4D on single-player whilst playing in hardcore mode. Seems he simply wanted to thank me for it. I guess it helped him or something.

                                      Thanks, I'll be checking it out in the next week or so. Trailer does look good, you're right.

                                          I've been a youtube gamer for quite some time now and it very common for thankful people to send games and donations. If you were a streamer and gave such a good tip to someone as thankful you quite possibly could have gotten more. It really is unbelievable the amount that well established streamers get in donations. I myself have gotten gifted games from fans and have gifted quite a few myself.

                                          There of course is the vile side of the gaming community, but as we all know, that goes with any industry.

                                                      i think you can get free games or ways to give out free games. So it's possible he didn't pay the amount ot send to you
