I won my first giveaway ever: "Killing Floor". I was so happy because I wanted it so much (Even though I kinda dislike the devs for releasing weapons DLC) and it was my first game giveaway won ever. So, I add the guy, after 3 days I finally get response from him. He asks me to write something in comments, so he could send me the gift. I do so and he says he sent me the gift. I wait patiently, check the e-mail every day, nothing. 1 week already passes and I say that I didn't received the gift to him. He says some gibberish and goes offline. Another week passes and I say "Where is my gift?" and he says "I can't gift it to you because you already have it" I tell him "But I don't have it, just check my game list" he answers "You do have it".
And it was obvious for me now. He only had a Guest Pass because I did had a KF Guest Pass before so it's kinda obvious why he can't give it to me. Was he really that dumb not to know that Guest Passes DON'T belong to giveaways?
I feel extremely pissed off. Probably the 2 other people (Because he made 3 giveaways) who won also got extremely pissed off after finding out it was only a guest pass they won.

That's calling out. And there's a reason support and report exist

The most OP can do is to mark the GA as unreceived, but it is not right to call out.

Well, 3 games marked as Not Received on the guy's profile means he won't be able to make any more giveaways at least!

Some people have no idea.

Report him & mark the gift as unreceived. Who knows, it might make you feel better. : )

He hasn't been online here for almost a week now.

Never mind. There is always Galagiveaways (a wild frontier town, where guest passes are regularly passed off as gold nuggets, and the sheriff is a boulder with a face drawn on it, and a ten gallon hat perched atop its feckless peak)...

That should be the new euphemism for perma-banning: The mods referred him to Galagiveaways.

You not only added the gift-giver, but you yelled at him, "Where the hell is my gift?"???

Wow. (Yes, I understand a week or more passed....but sounds like rude to me.)

Me? Simple as mark as not received and move on.

I didn't even said "Where the hell" to him, I actually said "Where is my gift? I have been waiting for 2 weeks already" and the only answer was "You already have it". I meant "Where the hell" as a bad joke, really.

Also, the gift-giver didn't added me for 3 days after winning the giveaway, so I added him because I didn't expect him to add me when 3 days already have passed. I already marked as not received, but man, it's hard to say cool when you find out that your first ever won giveaway after 2 years of trying to win something was literally nothing.

Oke doke. I'm trying to join the giveaways that are the games that I really want, so I guess I haven't joined 2000 yet.

Just don't be surprised you haven't won anything in 2 years, it doesn't matter howmany years you've been on the site it matters howmany giveaways you enter

Yeah, I kinda know that. I'm trying to enter as many giveaways as there are of my wanted games. I got a little mad not about that I lose so much, but about that I won a fake giveaway. It was better for me to lose all the time than win a fake giveaway, I have to admit.

Seems like he doesn't understand English. You shouldn't be mad at this sort of thing. It happens.

I've met people worse than him over here.

Worse? The worst kind of person I can think of is that the one who made the giveaway would ask for a game from the winner or there are worse people? :d

And okay, I kinda got over it now.

Next time if you see a person with a recent join date, no history of giveaways or comes from a country where English isn't the lingua franca, enter the giveaway with no expectations.

Considering how FEW entries you made...... I'm not surprised you've only won ONE gift in nearly two years (it still states you've only been here for 1 year after all) Seriously, there are worse things than finding out a giveaway was fake... For example: Being the one who MADE the fake giveaway :P

most people have entered many more than 244 giveaways before they win something. i'd personally entered about twice as many by the time i won something, and it turned out to be region-locked, and tbh i didn't feel there was anything to be resentful about. my first actual giveaway won was just before my 1000th entry, and in a giveaway with only 3 other entrants. by this point i'd given away $60 worth of games.

i'm not trying to be holier-than-thou, i'm just saying maybe you (and perhaps all the other people who complain about not winning) need to put things into perspective; this site is about giving, and perhaps you need to change your priorities/attitude. you don't have to give stuff away unless you want to, just don't get a bloated sense of entitlement.
