TL;DR THIS GIVEAWAY HAS SPECIAL LIMITATIONS AND YOU WILL GET NOTHING IF YOU ENTER BUT DON'T QUALIFY

So, I decided to give away the Deus Ex collection. This is Deus Ex GOTY, Deus Ex Invisible War, and Deus Ex: HR everything. I have decided to make it a private giveaway, but publically share the giveaway on the forums, in order to enforce special limitations. These limitations have already been approved by support.

Limitation #1: You cannot have abused the Guns of Icarus Online beta keys from earlier this week. If you created giveaways to share online beta keys, don't enter, I'll reroll if you win. Note: I will not be searching the forums for beta key threads, and I will be checking if you made legit Icarus giveaways. If you made a legit Guns of Icarus (not online) giveaway and did it properly, you're fine.

Limitation #2: You cannot have abused indie bundle keys before the rule change. This will have a certain amount of wiggle room, since it's hard to define abuse, but if you have given away like 5 of the same set of games that all happen to be in the same indie bundle (who would actually buy 5 copies of Ironclads, Beat Hazard, Before the Storm, and Razor2 and decide to give them all away without getting an Indie Gala bundle?), yeah, you're out.

Limitation #3: I want to reward people who have been active in the community, and so I will be enforcing a requirement of one comment per two giveaways entered. If you entered, say, 100 giveaways, you'd better have at least 50 comments or else you're not going to be given the game if you win. Note that this will be measured after the giveaway ends, so be careful if you're close to the minimum when you enter. To test if you're reading, this is the giveaway code: 1LKUe. I'm not making a link for it. Do not help anyone who asks what the link is in the comments, it's their fault for not reading the limitations. I must stress that this is not an excuse to begin spamming the forums to build up your post count. You'll be liable to whatever punishment the mods decide, and if I catch you, I will force a reroll as well as ticket you if the mods haven't already been notified that you're crapflooding to build your post count.

It's important to know that none of these restrictions count number of wins, or age of account, or contributor value. This specifically does not have a minimum contributor requirement because the other limitations.

Good luck, everyone!

UPDATE (3:30pm PST GMT-0700 August 4): My computer vomited all over itself and decided it doesn't know how to boot anymore. I'm currently in the process of grabbing all of my files off of it in preparation for a nuke and pave clean install of Windows 7. As a result, I won't be as active as usual. However, this should be taken care of by tomorrow, and it will definitely be taken care of before the giveaway ends. None of the rules have changed, I'm just occupied with more important things. Thanks for your patience, everyone.

Thanks for the well-wishes/commiserations about my dumb 'puter, too.

UPDATE #2 (4am PST August 5): I'm back, mostly. That was really annoying. :( Complete reformat. But, fresh start on Windows, at least. Carry on asking me where the giveaway link is. :D
