So I won a crazy machines 2 giveaway 4 days ago but....

steam chat:

Give away creator: Hi, I have a suggestion let us together Crazy Machines 2, Crazy Machines Elements good?

me: what you mean

Give away creator: I will give you a rather crazy machines 2, crazy machines Elements as I have it unactivated

Give away creator: ok?

P.S. Just found out that the giveaway creator actually won Crazy Machines 2 before and he activated it though.... Weird...

If he cant provide you the game from giveaway title, then mark it as unreceived and report him. No substitutes or anything

I would stick to the rules. Reason is, you would get suspended/banned if you didn't activate the game you won.

From what I've understood, he's giving you another game instead of what you've won, which is pretty much like saying "You've won $10, but I'll give you $6 instead because I wish to do so, okay?"

I'd go with no. Your choice, though.

You can either accept Crazy Machine Elements, mark the giveaway as received and take the risk. Both of you may be suspended for breaking the rules.

Tell the person, "The giveaway was for Crazy Machines 2, unfortunately if I don't receive it, I will have to mark the giveaway as not received". They will most likely get mad and you won't get any game, but at least you didn't break the rules.

Your choice.

Nope. If he doesn't give you the game listed, you mark as "not received".

Umm, I think he's trying to convince you to accept Crazy Machines Elements instead of Crazy Machines 2 which you won. If that's the case, you should refuse the offer. If you don't get the game the giveaway was made for, you have to mark it as not received, you aren't allowed to accept substitute games.

If you don't get the game you won, you really should not mark it as received. As has been already said, that will get you in trouble.

If you accept the new game instead of what you really won, you can both write to support explaining the situation and they will delete the giveaway. The creator doesn't get any contributor value; he also doesn't get a not received-mark.

As long as he activated the game he won on his account, it's ok to give away another copy of the game.

Just report him or something. Try not to break the rules yourself, it might go badly for both of you

I'd refuse the substitute game, Later it may come back to bite you...
If a won game is not activated on your account and if they find out your missing the won game your
steamgifts account can be, and will be banned. I would politely decline the substitute gift until
he's able to provide the said game. if not he will have to take it as a "not received" mark.
