The Great Real Otaku Gamer Backlog Contest

Real Otaku Gamer is proud to present The Great Real Otaku Gamer Steam Backlog Contest!  The rules are simple.

  1. Have a Steam account (must be active 6 months or more).
  2. Submit your screenshots as requested below.
  3. Don’t Photoshop them.
  4. Win free games!

To enter, please submit a screen capture of your Steam library with the number of games showing (as detailed below) and a screen capture of your Steam Profile page with your membership length showing (also as detailed below). 

Email your entry to contest@realotakugamer.com and title the email ‘Great Real Otaku Gamer Steam Backlog Contest entry’.  Please include your first name, first initial of your last name, your age, and your city and country of residence in the body of the email.  Entrants must be 18 to win, due to the nature of the games available. 

The winners will be those entrants with the smallest overall backlogs (calculated)!   So if you actually play your games and want some more, here’s your chance!  Having a large Steam collection will not lessen your chances of winning, but not playing your games will!  

The winners of the contest will be notified in ascending order (based on their backlogs) and will be asked to choose a title from the list below that will be gifted to them via Steam.  Please have at least 3 ranked choices ready, as Real Otaku Gamer cannot guarantee that a title will be available when we receive your response.  We will attempt to provide as updated of a list as possible when selections are being made.

 

Steam Library Image Capture Instructions (Windows computers):

  • Open Steam on your computer (easy, right?).
  • Click on the LIBRARY tab at the top of the screen and leave your cursor over it so that the number of games in your library is showing (see image below), then hit Ctrl – Print Screen.

  • Open MS Paint and select the Paste icon from the top left corner of the screen.
  • Save the image.

 

Steam Years of Service Image Capture Instructions (Windows computers):

  • Open Steam on your library (if it isn’t already from the previous instructions).
  • Click on your Steam Handle tab at the top of the screen.
  • Move your cursor over the years of service icon so that the date of activation of your Steam account is showing (see image below), then hit Ctrl – Print Screen. Make sure that in addition to your date of activation, your Achievement Showcase is showing with your average game completion percentage rate.

  • Open MS Paint and select the Paste icon from the top left corner of the screen.
  • Save the image.

 

Detailed Rules:

Entrants must submit a screen capture of their Steam library with the number of games showing (as detailed below) and a screen capture of their Steam Profile page with their membership length showing (also as detailed below).

Entrants must have a valid Steam account that has been active for no less than six months.

Entrants must have a valid email address.

You may submit both images separately as long as they are in the same email, or you may cut the required section from the each image and submit them together as one image.

Winners will be selected based on their overall Steam backlog and completion rate broken down over time, not on number of games owned alone.

Winnings have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for currency.  If winnings are not redeemed after 1 month from date of issue, they will be rescinded unless a request is made by the winner.

Real Otaku Gamer is not responsible for the failure of redemption of any Steam keys.  If a key is unable to be redeemed, the winner must contact ROG at contest@realotakugamer.com and notify us immediately.   An alternate game will be provided if the key does not show as redeemed on our accounts.

Real Otaku Gamer takes no responsibility for actual age of the entrants of the contest.  By entering the contest, you are legally stating that you are 18 years of age or older.

Failure to abide by any of the stated rules will result in disqualification from the contest.

Winners will be notified by email within 10 business days of the conclusion of the contest.  Number of winners will depend on number of entries received and not the number of games available.

A list of winners will be available upon request (first names and first initial only for privacy).

Contest begins on June 11, 2017 and ends on June 25, 2017.
