So I created a giveaway.

When the giveaway ends I encode it using base64 and also calculate it's md5 hash (lowercase), then I use 1st of original, 3rd and 9th of base64 string, 19th and 22nd of md5 hash in order: 9th of base64, ...

First giveaway entrant gets a bonus game!

No hints or links sharing!

Edit:
The game is $30, 80+ metascore, non-bundle game.

Hint:
For some reason it can be easier to solve over time.

Many Happy Returns of the Day! However, I think you need to be more clear! The few instructions you have given us should be clear, at the very least! Unless you've done this on purpose!

So that's the format you're using ? Since not everybody uses the same date format.

I just replied with the format edokan used. As to your later question, I don't think it's that hard to find out.

Hm, it really does involve time? I had an idea about that but discarded it cause steamgifts displays localized time...

At least I can stop trying now.
What was the format you used?

The format was from steamgifts giveaway creation form. It's localized so my timezone was required (or to brute-force it).
The whole thing could be done by hand as in the end it was to check 24 combinations of characters.

Damn, than I really HAD the right idea from the start, but a stopped when I after getting annoyed with trying at least 24 combinations (upper or lower case in md5) for every possible end date/time zone :(

I knew what to do but Firefox crashed when I tried to open 24 different tabs at once and my javascript got erased from my clipboard when that happened for some reason so I was too lazy to type it all up again. Darn, I would've like Assassin's Creed III too, maybe I shouldn't have decided to be lazy.
