Coal or Gifts?

[Dr. Doctor (inactive)]

We all know that Steam's new sale also has objectives to complete which are either random Steam games/coupons, or coal which enters you into a drawing.

Which would you stockpile? Would you hope for games/coupons and craft the coal into games, or keep your coal for the chance at winning EVERYTHING?

Choose with this poll. You may only choose one.

[Michael422]

I'm getting COAL

 

[DanJK]

Considering the chance of us being the one person to get every game, I just go with the gifts so at least I get something.

I doubt id be in that 1000 people anyway who get a valve complete pack or better.

 

[Moltike]

yup coal for sure, I can get more coals

how ?, simply go MINECRAFT ! there plenty coals there

 

[Zimmy]

Yeah, I'll just save up my coal. I don't really care one way or the other.

I only have a coal, -50% off a valve game, and -60% off Hearts of Iron 3

 

[Shadow19]

Every game on Steam? That's like a million dollar value.

 

[Jensen]

I get all presents cuz we all know i am an angel.

 

[Cascsiany]

Well as you know good things come to those who wait... so give me the coal.

 

[Lukeirish]

Gifts...I only have one piece of coal right now and like 3 sale coupons... anyone want Tranz Simulator for like 33% off?

 

[Jomigirock]

Coal and I got a coupon for -25% off steam games, like seriously. Some of my friends got -50% off and -75% off, steam hates me.

As much as it would be awesome to get even the Valve Complete Pack, let alone items on my wishlist or even every game on Steam, I'm going to have to go with the games rather than the coal.

So, there's like, over 4.2 million players on Steam, right?

That means, at best, I have a:
1 in 4,200,000 million chance of getting every game on Steam
1 in 84,000 chance of getting the top ten items on my wishlist
1 in 42,000 chance of getting the top five items on my wishlist
1 in 4,200 chance of getting the Valve Complete Pack

This doesn't take into account that I have one piece of coal and hundreds of thousands of players have two or (probably way) more pieces of coal than I do, nor does it take into account that there are probably WAY more than 4.2 million people on Steam. My chances are probably much lower than described above.

Games, guaranteed now, or a less than 1 in 4,200 chance of getting games later?

I have to go with games, as much as I hate to.
