Copypasta from mail:

Green Man Gaming have once again joined forces with the Golden Joysticks and are offering those that have voted before 20 October 2014 a free copy of XCOM: Enemy Unknown (whilst stocks last).*

This game will be available to you after 23 October 2014, and we’ll send you instructions of how to claim your free game at that time, which will include registering with Playfire and linking to Steam to gain your code.

If you haven’t already voted click here to vote.

*Limited stock available. One game per registered vote. Over 18 years only. The promoting site is open for participants to claim their free game from 23 October 2014 until 27 October 2014 at 11:59 GMT.

[edit] UPDATE: https://twitter.com/GreenManGaming/status/517355806397063168

[edit2] It looks like this time it will be added directly to account (like HIB) so no free games spam on SG wohoo

Can confirm, got "out of keys" error at first. Using tor was able to get a key after validating email and connecting account to steam.

Odd can't seem to buy Enemy WITHIN on Steam without getting the entire bundle, so the GMG promo seems to be the best way to get it if you want it.

Here it is on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/225340/
It has already been on sale for 75% off in the past. The GMG 80% will only be tempting if they allow it to be stacked with Playfire credit and I doubt they will.

Nope, could be a regional glitch. Complete bundle is $54.99. Enemy Within is not purchasable on its own.

The emails must match with cvg and the gmg/playfire accounts that your steam is linked with.

I can confirm that certain countries are banned from receiving their game.
I got the message: "You just missed this one! Thank for your interest, however, due to huge demand we’ve now run out of game codes!"

After that i asked a friend from another country to fill in the form with the same account of mine and i got a key....
This is complete nonsense.

Should be Banned from SteamTrades for a while as people may try and scam users by getting a game in a trade for a free Steam Key.

Just a minor issue...
There seems to be a problem with your username, email address or password.

If you're registering with an existing account, check your details and try again. If you're creating a new account, try a different username.

due to the gigantic number of assholes in steamgifts I won't be able to play with my friends who didn't get a key in time so that said assholes can make a giveaway here when they already own the game, thanks alot.

Keep trying, I literally just got a key emailed to me minutes ago. I think they've allocated keys to different regions of the world - due to timezones meaning some regions don't get stiffed as would happen if it were just a free for all.

How do I redeem my game? Every time I'm on the GMG Playfire thingy it tells me to register, but I already have a Playfire account. Where do I get the game?

You use your GMG username and password. Hopefully your email address there is the same as the one you used at computerandvideogames.com, otherwise it might not work at all.

I got this message

"You’ve already linked your Steam account
Looks like you’ve already linked your Steam account!

Please login again with the Playfire account you linked previously to your Steam account and you can claim your free game!

Good luck!

Playfire"

And so I login to Playfire but I see no option to claim my game

I'm endlessly being told that my account details are incorrect. CVG, GMG, Steam, and Playfire all use the exact same email, username, and password. It is impossible for my info to be incorrect. I've checked the details over and over and nothing is wrong. GMG has screwed me again.

So, I couldn't claim the game with my previous e-mail, I decided to do it:

  1. Register a new account on http://www.computerandvideogames.com/, verify it and then vote. Remember your registering e-mail and pass.
  2. Register on http://www.greenmangaming.com/ with the same e-mail (see the first step), verify too.
  3. Register a new steam account.
  4. Go to https://goldenjoysticks.greenmangaming.com/, and claim the game:
    E-mail - see the first and second steps (it must be the same), username and password - create new.
  5. Check your e-mail. :)

I hope it will help. Enjoy the game.

After hours and hours of changing e-mail addresses of CVG, Playfire and GMG...
I FINALLY got this message:
"Thanks for taking part!
Please keep an eye on your inbox - we’ll be sending your free game key soon. This can take around 24hrs. And remember, play XCOM: Enemy Unknown, unlock the achievement ‘And So It Begins’ and you’ll receive an 80% off voucher for XCOM: Enemy Within!
Good luck, Commander!"

1 minute later I received FINALLY the key!!!!!!!!

"Hello **,
Congratulations on successfully claiming your free copy of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and thank you for voting in this year's Golden Joystick Awards.
Please find your game key attached and ready for installation as per the below instructions.

Your free game

Email Address: "

This better be worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!

What I did was the following step by step:

  1. Make sure your Steam account mail is "a@a.com"
  2. Changed e-mail CVG.com (with IE instead of Chrome!?) into my steam e-mail. "a@a.com".
  3. In IE it said I didn't vote yet (??? Chrome said I already did..) I voted again!
  4. Changed e-mail playfire.com "a@a.com"
  5. Double checked if e-mail of GMG.com is still "a@a.com".
  6. Go to https://goldenjoysticks.greenmangaming.com/ and register "a@a.com"
  7. Verify (again..) e-mail "a@a.com"
  8. If everything went well: "https://goldenjoysticks.greenmangaming.com/success"
  9. Steam key in e-mail!!!

I hope this works for other strubbeling people as well...

GOOD LUCK!!
