Link to the description of the promo: here (thanks to BrandeX and babloyi)

Direct link to where you fill your info: here.

Steps:

  1. Put your info and click submit.
  2. You will get a promo code for Amazon.
  3. Add the game to your cart on Amazon and apply the code.

Some users are reporting not getting any code, others get a message saying that the codes are all gone for now and some are still getting codes so you're mileage may vary.

Aren't you meant to do make a mod or a video too? Is this an exploit?

Hmm... looking more closely at the rules, it seems not. It seems like they're genuinely giving this away for free, so you can base your mod or video off of it. Someone correct me if I'm reading it wrong, but this looks kosher to me, though I imagine it will be heavily abused by people who don't care about the competition.

Yeah abuse is definitely a problem with this kind of promotions. But it's nice for the people that don't abuse the system to get a copy for themselves.

It should probably be removed from the GA list I guess. Even though it's already bundled, you can technically get Steam keys as fast as you can refresh 2 tabs in your browser. There isn't even email verification step first.

Update your OP, it is region restricted. And no i'm not going to be a cheap ass and use proxy to get it. (someone would eventually mention this)

The actual code is not region restricted. I have a US Amazon account and billing address but do not live there. I can buy games from their digital store fine (and got myself a copy of Thief Gold just now)

Don't worry, we're on top of it right now. :) The bigger issue is that cg never gave the mods powers to see group and private giveaways through search, so we can't see some of them until they've ended.

Hm... I can't get the steam key as I don't have a credit card to activate the amazon account, so I can't claim my copy and it would be nice if I could enter some GAs for it

i mean .. i read about the mod contest but are they really giving the game away like that ? :D

can someone see if it's legit or not ? i have the game activated anyway so this is of a no use for me

EDIT : oh , it's the first thief game .... thought you meant the new one :D ,

but still ... it's for the mod competition i think just like what jade said

No it works in reverse. You don't make a mod/video to get the game free.

Step one: Have the game for free.
Step two: make a mod/video with it to enter the actual competition.

Can someone correct me if I am wrong, even if I am not US still I can enter the competition but not eligble for prizes, right? There is no mention for NOT entering the competition.

It would be funny if each Steam key is linked to the info you give them on the website, and if you do not participate in the contest, the key will be revoked (from a Steam account it was redeemed on.)
