The guy that won the game is gifting the exact same game!

Not against the rules. As long as he activates one copy then all is right in the world (of SG)

Regifting isn't allowed, but if they're giving away the same game after having activated the game they won on their account, then there's nothing wrong with that.

I have given away games that I didn't own myself and wanted to play and later won them in giveaways.

can't you just regenerate a new winner? I thought I saw that option when I gave away one of my games.

well,already gave it to him, see if he actually puts it in his account or not.

did he activate the game? if yes, why not? he probbl enjoyed the game and want to offer other copy to someone.

shrug

He won Cave Story + twice in the last 20 mins.. Probably regifting one of those copies..

He won the game twice at roughly the same time and accepted both, but hasn't activated yet. I'd guess he's not sure what to do in this situation, but regifting is definitely not allowed. Fortunately he deleted his giveaway. He needs to activate one of the games that he won and submit the other for reroll.

But in general it's perfectly fine for someone to create a giveaway for a game he doesn't have and then enter giveaways for the same. If he didn't think the game is good then he'd have picked something else to give away. Probably. There are plenty of possible mindsets.

some ppl here are noobs who would only report other, I hate that kind of people ...

I think he bought HB7 and was giving away his copy of cave story like you did. He then (after) entered two concurrent giveaways for the same. He won both. He gave away his original but now has two that he won.

This thread has confused me more than I thought possible. It seems to be a general consensus that no rules were broken, but if my understanding is correct, he already owned a copy of the game when he entered the giveaway. How does that not violate the 'do not enter giveaways for games you already own' rule? ._.

The main problem is that he marked the games as RECEIVED and yet he did not activate them in his library.

How long does it take before action is taken on people who regift? Someone did this who won something from me today and has already won another item and is regifting it also. >.<

Reported him.

I simply wouldnt gift it, report him and reroll the winner. Its your key. If you dont want an ungrateful douche as the winner, dont give him the key/gift. Simple as that.

I guess the key might still be usable, should i just post it here for who wants the game and see if the key still works?

Whoever wants Cavestory+ (maybe, if it indeed works), then comment on this post.

Give me your favorite game of the year and say why did you like it and in a bit ill just give it to someone.

OK. so this person won your giveaway 4 hours ago.
he didn't register it. (the game is not in his library)
He made the exact same giveaway 3 hours ago
it ended 2 hours ago.

He is regifting. report him. It's against the rules

Gave the game to nitroman, it works. Gratz!

I didn't read all the replies, but if he doesn't have it in his library and activates the one you send him, then it's perfectly fine in my opinion.

SNEAK... look at yourself, prick.
