Not sure if lucky, or unlucky.

The gifter has up to 7 days to give it, be patient. Though if he's been online and that chances are you might not get the game.

It must suck to win a fake giveaway. :(

And as a tip, creating paragraphs makes reading easier. :)

I'm not sure how Lead and Gold translates to Half Life, but it does look like you got shafted anyway. Sadly these sorts of things happen, but there's always better luck for the future. And terrible rep for the other person.

I hope you'll still get your game. In any case, don't let it get to you, and best of luck in the future.

Sooo, is this a blog post?

The creator of the giveaway has 7 days to send the game.

When you checked your email for the 1st game you won, you made sure to check your spam box right. I gave a steam key to a winner once and it went to his junk mail. It took me 3 days to get him to add me to steam and check his junk folder for it.

Try adding the creator on steam.

I've noticed some gifters like to make sure they actually see you online so they can add you/message you to make sure you know where the game came from, mark feedback, etc., and I've waited a couple days on things before, so it's possible the gifter in this case had something come up and hasn't been around.

Does suck to win a fake though. I won something on Gameminer and got sent a clearly fake key (all just 234's over and over). To top it off, that game's keys are not even Steam redeemable, nor in that format for where they are redeemable (which is with the game CD). Quite obnoxious that people care more about their status as contributors and try to scam for it than actually care about giving imo. :/
