Anyone else joined this and won before? I just got a notice on Steam that this was revoked. There was no mention it was a beta key or anything. Just weird why this happened after 1.75 yrs.

Good to see this issue resolved, I still think that just deleting the giveaway would have been more straightforward and less painful to watch but it's nice to see this end.

Good luck getting 10K users approval :)

Support could have asked CG to skip that part of the rules this one time, this is the type of situation when just nuking the source of the problem is a cleaner solution than trying to work it out the right way.
I mean sure, the dev got it fixed in the end but it costed him the reputation of his game and a percieved lost of value from becoming free for a time. Even then, what about the people that won the game here but are off-line for the duration of the "promotion"? Those are not getting the game back into their libraries and will continue to be a headache for the dev.

And you think giving 10K copies, then just revoking them and deleting the giveaway would have done his reputation much better?
If anything, that's probably professional suicide.

Fair point, although I wouldn't be all that surprised if the damage done isn't probably at that level already.
At this point I'd probably change the name of the studio for my next game anyway if I was in his situation.

Thank you – Evolvation the game https://www.evolvationthegame.com/thank-you/
First, it seems that those who like the game and who have money are able to deposit money from PayPal.

There seems to be people who "sold without enabling keys".


FAQ

  • What should I do if the winner of my giveaway has not redeemed their gift, and I'm unable to get into contact with them?
    If you've been unable to reach the winner of your giveaway using email and Steam after one week of your giveaway ending, and they have not yet activated or redeemed any keys or gifts you attempted to send, please contact support to request a new winner. When creating a ticket, we ask you to include data that suggests you made an adequate attempt to contact the winner, such as screenshots of emails, friend requests, or gifts pending on Steam. If the request is approved, a new winner will be generated by the site.

Originally, after passing, confirm.[Not Activating Won Gifts]
Target users with a crime of "Not Activating Won Gifts" will be suspended.
In the future, when distributing the key of the game, I hope that the notification of malicious persons will be done without forgetting.
