Hi,

I recently (less than an hour ago) bought a copy of Dead Island GOTY Edition on Amazon.com.

When entering the key on steam i discovered I cannot redeem it - Probably because I am not in the USA.

I decided to gift the key on this site as it is useless to me but i have been informed on the comments section that these key are exploited.

What does this mean? I can provide the winner with the email I received with the key in.

Should I take down the giveaway?

Well if the key is exploited then i would take the giveaway down. You don't want negative rep and maybe a ban.

Edit: Just noticed i entered in that giveaway.

But its not exploited. It's an official one from Amazon.com.

Apologies for my lack of understanding. I am new to this site.

Sounds nifty of you to want to gift it either way. :)

If the key is region restricted, you cannot give it away, so you should take it down

It's also on the exploited keys list, so ask support if it's okay to make a giveaway for it

Someone mentioned previously that Dead Island (not Dead Island GOTY) is what is on the exploited list, presumably because there was some sort of exploit with those specific keys awhile ago.

OK I've taken down - I'm not going to gift it through a giveaway - but it is still useless to me. If anyone is reading this and would like to trade for another key then feel free to get in touch.

Cheers

i think if u can show proof of purchase the admins will allow it, and if u just brought it, u should have no trouble presenting a receipt

It's region restricted, so he'd have to make the giveaway private and ask support for a special rule.

I made a giveaway for the same game. Only found out about the region restriction when the winner came back to me saying they couldn't activate.

I managed to get a refund from Amazon, bought a copy from Steam directly ($10) this weekend) and am waiting to finish the giveaway. Not something I budgeted for, but oh well...

Saw your posts on steam trades. Sorry that you got ripped off. Not everyone there is looking to do that. :(
