friendly reminder for GA "Witcher 3 and Expansion Pass"

Last I recall, winner owning majority of a collection was still re-rollable.

Edit

Well I recall reading that one of the support members once wrote that the giveaway creator can choose whether he'd like people who already own a base game to enter or not. I'm not 100% sure though, so don't quote me on that. I'll try to find my source real quick though.

Edit: Now with evidence.

What are the rules for entering to win Steam packs if I currently own a number of the games contained within?

We ask users not to enter giveaways for packages if they already own the majority of the games. This allows for winners that will receive the most value out of their gift. In the end, the giveaway creator has the final say, and if they believe the winner owns too many of the packaged games, we'll allow them to request a new winner.

I think is legit if he ask for a reroll if the winner have the base game

Copy-paste from the FAQ:

You are wrong. If winner have more then half of a pack, creator of GA can ask for reroll. And having base game is a half by quantity (1 of 2) and far more than a half by price. So I think in this case moderators can approve reroll.

Actually no. While a giveaway creator can choose to still give their winner the gift even if they already own part of a package, they can also re-roll for that reason if they want. Unfortunately, I've had to do that several times.

Of course can he decide whether or not people are allowed to enter if they already own parts of a bundle.

no, that doesnt apply anymore i think, but you have a rule that allow you to reroll if the winner have most of the games :p

they might even not read what you wrote. There are couple of plugins that allow you bid on GAs without entering the page. :))

Don't worry, you can reroll.

"My giveaway = My rule" doesn't work too good on Steamgifts. Unless official Steamgifts rules aren't being followed, you must give the winner their game.

Luckily, you may request a re-roll in this particular situation. Like stated by other users in this thread:

Thank you for your explanation.If a bundle contains 2 games and the winner own 1 of these Games can i also ask for a re roll ?

I have a question.
If for example, someone makes a giveaway for a game like Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, and the winner already owns the original Sleeping Dogs. In that case, the giveaway creator cannot reroll, is that right ? Since it is a completely different game on the Steam store.
And what about a giveaway for a game like Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition ? In that case it is the same game as Fallout 3, with the DLCs added, but it doesn't appear on the Steam store as a package.
