He tried to give away the Humble freebie key, used a different game for it. He was not the only one to do that, but in these cases creators can often depend on winners not actually caring about what they activate and marking it received nonetheless.

I don't think you're an asshole for that. You're just trying to help him learn for the future, right ?
What incentive would there be for him not to make this "innocent mistake" again the next time IndieGala is giving away a game if there are no consequences ?

Enough asses out there who think they can con the system.

Mark not received after 7 days or you could have problems with other users reporting you for a non activated gift and you could also have trouble passing SGTools giveaways that have the your account must have activated all the won gifts rule.
Know that you can agree with a giveaway deletion but you don't have to mandatory agree with this aka it's totally your choice and your choice alone to agree or not.
It's a clear fact that one can't make a giveaway for a free game like Grid and by making a giveaway of Grid Autosport to gift that copy of Grid is knowingly trying to cheat the system and those that enter that giveaway.

First of all I don't know about GA deletion rules i.e. that I have to post in that giveaway. He asked to me to made this thread so he may seek permission from Admin to delete that giveaway. So I did make this thread on his wish.
Further, on 6th or 7th day, he included the key in giveaway, which was of Grid then I added him on steam and asked him that the key you sent is of Grid not Grid Autosport. he said that he actually did mistake and use wrong link for giveaway. I said OK (what else I can do).
later he again said sorry and asked for a thread under description which I did not understand. then today he again ask me and I told him where should I write i.e. under discussion, he said yes. So I made this thread.
later Mully told me that I have to write under the giveaway about deletion, if I have no problem. So I did the same and told him.
These things happens often and nothing to worry about it. at least we can give one chance to everybody.
So personally I don't want any further discussion on this matter as I don't like it because as per his wish, I made this thread only for Admin & Mods of SG. so he may able to seek their permission to delete that GA.
Hope all will understand and agree whatever I said.
Thank you all for your kind support as usual.

mistakenly made wrong giveaway
No he didnt, he very much knew what he was doing.
He intended to pass it off to a newbie and collect the CV.
Sure you could be the bigger man and ask for GA deletion, but i think he should learn the consequences

OP has already made up his mind so however much we might disagree it's not up to us.

Hmmmmmmmmmm may be you are right but its in my nature that I always give one chance. So I give him chance.
But one thing I notices that still no Moderator nor Admin write anything here.
Anyway, if he will not respond till tomorrow then I will close this topic, no matter if his problem resolve or not as I told him over steam chat that he should respond but he didn't though I give him link of this thread also, so he do not even bother to find this thread.

You mean a 2nd chance ;) First chance would have been to deliver the correct game.
But one thing I notices that still no Moderator nor Admin write anything here.
And they won't. This is a pretty straightforward situation and support tickets are usually handled discretely and not in a public discussion. That the other guy asked you to create a thread (by the way why didn't he create a thread) just shows he has no idea how things work here.

But if he do not have key and he clearly said sorry then what else I can do. He made giveaway and its free though he broke the rules but I didn't pay anything to him for that game. He made wrong giveaway and latter accept it and said sorry. simple.
He requested me for this thread just to bring this in notice of Admin & Mod that I do not have any problem and then he can delete the GA. I still mark that GA. "Don't Received".
But this is really weird that he is not responding here and this is the thing I don't like. But as I told him that I am giving him chance then I have to stay on my word. I will close this topic tomorrow, if he will not respond.

Nor is he going to, this is a public thread, and he would only raise the number of blacklist by coming here
He needs to create a ticket, him not you.
You do realize he made the mistake, and you are still the one who has to act like his personal Messenger :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmmmm you have a valid point. FYI, when he didn't send me key until 5 - 6 days then I raised support ticket but I didn't receive any response so I closed that ticket. Later he added wrong key and I added him on steam for clarification and then this whole thing happens.
Anything else?

Only the GA creator can make a ticket asking for a GA to be deleted. If you as the winner make the ticket there is nothing Support can do about it. So even if Support would see this topic here they CAN'T do anything about it unless the GA creator creates a ticket.
Sorry, gotta finish packing now. I'm going snowboarding with my family tomorrow and I'm already late.

I won this giveaway:
but the problem is that the person who made giveaway, sent me the key of GRID (which I already have).
I added him on steam and asked him that key is not correct. He said that he mistakenly made wrong giveaway and say sorry.
Here I would like to mention that I didn't use the key of "GRID" (that's he know already).
I know there is no sense to make this thread but as per his request I am making this thread. Don't know what he exactly want to say but I think he want to close this chapter and delete that giveaway.
