Free keys for ungiftable games. Main requirement: Wishlisted prior to a certain date

Closed
Yirg

tl;dr: To request a key, you need to have the game on your wishlist prior to the creation of this thread (earlier than 11/11/15), or as specified by the contributor. Please specify the date you added the game to your wishlist when requesting.

It's somewhat of a letdown when you can't create a giveaway because the game was given for free at some point in time, but it doesn't mean the key is worthless. Some users may actually have the game on their wishlist and will appreciate getting it. The idea of this thread is to make good use of your ungiftable keys, by sending them to users who really want these games.

Note: If as a contributor you don't mind who gets the keys, there's another thread for key drops. If you do mind, this thread will help you find the right users. See guidelines for contributors toward the end of this post.

Requirements for requesting a key

All giveaways have the Basic requirements, unless stated otherwise. Some (typically the more worthy games) have the Higher requirements. Please make sure to read before requesting a key, and when you do, request it from the contributor directly and not as a comment to this post. The (request key) links below will help you find the relevant post.

Basic requirements

  • Have the ungiftable game on your wishlist, and added earlier than 11/11/15 (or as specified by the contributor). Please specify date added to wishlist when requesting a key.
  • Registered more than a month ago
  • Untainted trade ratio. If you never trade it's fine too :-)
  • Activated all games won; has no multiple wins of the same game. In other words, passes the Steamgifts tools tests.

Higher requirements

  • All Basic requirements
  • Level 2
  • Created giveaways in the last month, at least some of which are public and were created prior to this thread
  • Sent more games than won (or has Real CV Sent higher than Real CV Won)

Needless to say, once you get the key the only expectation is that you activate it on your account and say thanks :-)

Guidelines for contributors

Other members are invited to contribute their own ungiftable games. For easy navigation I'll add these giveaways to this post and will mark off (strikethrough) once you let me know that the key was sent (it would help if you also mark them off in your post). I hope I can keep it up without it becoming too much of a burden ;-)

  • Please make sure to only list the game name, not the actual key. Including a link to the Steam store page is nice, as it makes it easier for people to check if they have the game on their wishlist.
  • Feel free to specify a wishlist cutoff date other than 11/11/15 (the date of creation of this thread). A reasonable date to specify can be a day early than the date of your post, as users won't be able to add the game to their wishlist retroactively.
  • If you want to add other restrictions, or to lax some of the ones I suggested, go for it. It’s your key after all. Just keep in mind that since you'll be the one delivering the key, you're also the one to enforce any requirements/restrictions.
  • If the requester obviously didn't read the requirements, don't feel obligated to reply. It's a lot more fun to give to those who did bother to do their part :-)

Thank you all and good luck!

A some time ago we ware talking about that 2015 limit. You've said that date is not a constant, and some games may be gifted even if that criteria is not met. Well, I have Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi on my wishlist since 13th of April, will this be enough to fetch it from you?
Btw. Your first post could use an update, much changed in other people keys.

Key for Nosferatu sent via Plan B group.

I only update the OP if I get requests from contributors to do so. I can't constantly scan the thread looking for changes...

Got it. Thank you very much for the game. Wishing you a great Sunday.

I understand. As a quick update. The list would update quite much with this gifter:

Please check your profile with SGtools (linked in the OP), and if you pass, reply to a contributor who offers the game, specifying the date you added it to your wishlist... (click the relevant Request Key link to find his/her post).

Just randomly saying that if anyone finds a steam key for ALice: Madness returns and doesn't know what to do with it. I'm here with 6 years old wish list on top for it Q_Q

With 4:173 ratio of have:want on barter.vg, I doubt people are just going to drop it here. Since it's no longer sold on Steam, your next best bet is to buy it on origin.com.
