Because you don't currently live in the region the promotion is for.

Heh, you're the best. I'm at work though, so I can't add you right away (SteamDesktopAuthenticator not working with Windows XP - yes, this is still running where I work... don't ask). Tryin to get it goin on the one computer that runs Win7 (which I'm not using normally, will check that out in my lunchbreak in ~2 hours, hope you don't mind).

Of course I mind! You must take this from me immediately because...yeah! Not really. x) I'm not 100% sure if I'll be on around that time but I should be. Either way the code doesn't expire any time soon and I'll hold onto it. No rush :D And don't most businesses still use XP? At least I thought they did. I need to pay more attention to stuff.

i wonder something...
will the code they send you be usable until march 31 or will it be the steam key?
they can know if the steam key was not used and cancel it???

There were steam keys that were time limited (like fearless fantasy and another game which i forgot). So it might still be the steam key that will expire, or it might just be their shop code

Wrong.
I mean, they sometimes say keys expire at certain date but it'd actually be a pain in the a** for them to contact Steam Support (don't You know how "fast" it is?:P) and ask to deactivate so many unused keys. There have been multiple cases where keys that were supposed to expire at certain date were still good after it.
You never know but I stick to "Steam keys never expire" thing :)

I had a fearless fantasy key that expired before and wanted to give it to a friend but he said it couldn't activate.
As I had 1st hand experience of steam keys being time limited and expired, I would still say that there is a chance that the keys could be time limited.
So, nope, what i said was not wrong.

Weird thing. I remember having that or some other key from Woobox promotions or from IG or whatever it was and those were stil good AFTER expiration date. Thanks for letting me know though.

Received the 100% discount code via e-mail about 12 hours ago. I had to use a VPN (Tunnelbear set to UK) in order to be able to enter the code and get the discount in the cart without getting the error message described above in the OP. The order form also requires you to enter a billing address even though the item is free, so if you use a real one at your physical location make sure you disconnect from the VPN before submitting the completed form, otherwise you will another error message about the billing address not matching your detected location (I'm assuming it does an IP lookup).

Really? That's actually very sad :( Perhaps You haven't done everything correctly with the voting thing or something...
Myself I did receive previous games from Golden Joystick but not this one... :(

Being American I take no offense to anything you have to say. I actually watched a youtube video today of a debate at a university whether white people should kill themselves due to privileged. We are currently a crap hole with radicals on one side and social justice warriors on the other for no room in between.
However, there are many people that were talking about using 2 and 3 emails possibly more. Hate should be directed their way.
Trump should be wished upon no man.
EDIT Spelling...

Technically an exploit is a companies fault, getting something you don't have for free is damn near human nature. Look at the history books, the crusades are a great example here. When people had a city that was wanted a freaking Holy War was started to get it. Not to mention all the Jihads. Anyway, you get my point yes? This isn't something that just happened because we're bloody americans, this is happening because we're people trying to get a free game just like you. Like I said be pissed at the people who got multiple keys, I did everything I was supposed to (VPN) and still didn't get a key too so I'm right here with you guys.

Same here, EU region, still no key, i even registered 2 days before the giveaway ended. Sent a ticket still no reply.

X-Com was completly free which leads to the same abuse we see here. It's better to let people pay a symbolic price (even if there was some sort of payback program) like they did with Bioshock Infinite.

Did one have to register in order to get the key? Or did someone receive it without beeing registered?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah you had to register on their site, if you're not from EU/UK you had to use a VPN (like me) Though I only queued for 1 key which I did not receive so it's not like it mattered anyway.
EDIT: And if you meant get the actual steam key you have to turn in the voucher code after you buy the game in which case you still have to do the above.

Where did one had to register at? The only thing I've done was to provde them my Steam ID and email or whatever they asked me for in the form. I have read rues/ToS and there was no info about creating an account. Anyway, wouldn't it be enough that I had account there since last promotion with voting on Golden Joystick awards? Oh wait, I've used another email this time... :(
Comment has been collapsed.
OK, that maybe explains, why i got nothing. As many others. Subscribed for darksouls 2 weeks ago, but didnt register at golden joystick...no point in doing it now, is there?
Comment has been collapsed.
It didn't say anywhere to register, just to sign up with your steam id...
If this is really the issue ... >:(

Edit: codes are being emailed, but some people are having problems. "Invalid taxcode reference key 5 for subsidiary 4". No solution as of yet
Edit2: Using tunnlebear worked for me. Up to you if you want to use a vpn.
