To think a Library copy I borrowed gotten me a valid Steam copy of Prey. So I'm celebrating it by creating a giveaway for a game. And I trust that you guys will not leak the game name cause that would be a horrible thing to do and I would spank you with my secret 4 techniques.

Ok who am I kidding? I don't have 4 secret techniques, but I would certainly plague you by forcing you to joke about a giveaway.

Anyway, you can ignore the punishments above, cause they certainly aren't real. As for the giveaway, it ends on the 13th of July. Good luck.

Hint here.

Second hint here.

Hint 2.5 is that the last letter you gotten is in fact the last character in the code. The rest are scrambled up cause of the sentences. Also, hint 3 will focus on the sequence as to make it easier.

Hint 3 here.

I got what those 6 letters do, but according to hints they shouldn't do anything at all (not 6, but 5). But still, don't know where to go from there and I think I've been trolled a bit. :p

Does one of those 6 look weird to you?

In some countries they'd cane you for this! Oh wait ...

It's only a matter of time before I start writing scripts to auto-brute-force these types of giveaways. Puzzles require intelligent thought. Having to just try random combinations is neither a puzzle nor clever, it's just tedious.

Not all puzzles require intelligent thought. And if this with the hints is tedious, I wonder how you would find it without.

We had a very similar topic a while ago (where somebody got Bioshock 3 from a library) and I'm surprised to see nobody mentioned this yet...

You shouldn't take such keys, the libraries buy the games for your whole community, not for you alone to profit from it. You should also go to the library and tell somebody from the staff about Steam and how it works and how they should avoid buying games that lock onto Steam accounts. This way you and everyone else that uses that library will benefit from more items - books, games etc that can be shared.

Except the library doesn't buy Steam games, and they never will. Unfortunately for them, they didn't expect this particular title to be Steam redeemable.

I know, but there's still the unreleased hint 3.

The third hint was promised two weeks ago. I've given up hope of it happening.

"This space will be reserved for the third and last hint. Since there's solvers, I would leave the hint to the last week since this hint will be a major game changer. Also watch out for a special giveaway then if you already cleared the puzzle." - Taken from here.

Reminds me of a topic I saw about someone finding Bioshock Infinite in the library.

I could also have Prey, it was just $3 on the Xbox sale, but I decided that the chance that I'll play it is pretty low. I'll stick to getting free games for my $1 Gold sub. Assassin's Creed 2 is the next game, and I read some on this forum saying it's the best of the series.
