This site is what then?

Why do I not feel bad for a person with 1.5k games in their steam library, 279 of which were won here, who ever only given away 4 non-free games in their 9 years here?

I'll do you one better, direct copy-paste from the guidelines:

Begging. Do not ask game developers or users for keys or games, unless they are offering and searching for interested parties.

Is asking for a Steam key for a game begging?

Yes.

Why?

Because you are asking for something without offering anything in return. This is the definition of begging.

Is it okay to beg for Steam keys?

No. Begging is generally frowned upon in the gaming community, and it is considered to be rude and disrespectful to ask for free games.

If I want a free game, what should I do?

I recommend that you look for giveaways and other promotions. There are many websites that offer free games, and you can also find giveaways on social media and gaming forums.

"Begging is the practice of imploring others to grant a favor, often a gift of money, with zero expectation of reciprocation. " -

It is exactly what you did.

Also, you would be put on Criminal Behaviour Order list, for breaking a Law in my country, as begging is illegal here Fact that you got 250+ games won, and yet complain about 1 rule, trash-calling this site and then act like you did nothing wrong and that other don't know what 'begging means', you are absolutely out of order - that's ban-worthy in my opinion and if I was a mod, I would slap you with a nice PERMA.

Justy went through the rules of the site;
'Begging. Do not ask game developers or users for keys or games, unless they are offering and searching for interested parties.'

This means you deserve a ban.

On the contrary, it's pretty basic. You asked for people to drop keys here, that's begging.

you literally said
"You are right, I am ASKING :) not begging
Begging is if you please someone for it, I am just asking :)"

and the rule in the help section says
"Begging. Do not ask game developers or users for keys or games

soooo, according to you, you were "asking" and according to the website that is "begging", and you didn't even say please and thank you.

Site guidelines;

  1. Begging. Do not ask game developers or users for keys or games, unless they are offering and searching for interested parties.

Okay, exhaust yourself a much as you want. You don't need people to understand you while you're clearly breaking site rules.

I agree that it was not super clear on the giveaway page itself.

For reference, it was mentioned in the original post above:

Do not forget to connect your Bandai Namco Account to your Steam account to be eligible!

The terms were linked to on the giveaway page, but the requirement should have been more explicit.

One had to click to check the terms of the giveaway:

The Giveaway is free of charge and without obligation to purchase and is opened to any person, aged
at least 18 years old, willing to participate, subject to the fact that the participant shall create a “BANDAI
NAMCO EUROPE” account on the following page: https://account.bandainamcoent.eu/new, by
accessing it via a link on the Website (as defined herein) and link their Steam ID to their “BANDAI NAMCO
EUROPE” account.

Well, I did link my steam account and haven't gotten a key either.

Probably because I have my account on "friends only" almost all the time and not public.
So their database couldn't see what games I own and maybe would have checked if I already own the game.

Are the keys region locked?
There are some giveaways for this game currently from this raffle, I don't want to spend my points in case they are region locked.
Did anyone who got a key have any problem redeeming it?
