Hmmm.... :( I found out the guy blacklisted me after I won w/o sending the gift... Now I can't access the giveaway page so I cannot view his profile..

^ Direct link to his profile, is that what you were after?

The giveaway recently ended, the giveaway creator has one week to send you the game. Give it some time. No idea why you got blacklisted, I've heard about some people doing that to prevent the same person from winning future giveaways, a way of evening the odds a bit I'm guessing, so it might have nothing to do with if you get the game or not.
You should remove that link, I think you might be in the risk zone for a suspension for calling out like that.

Alright I removed the giveaway's link and I was going to wait for a bit but I wanted/needed his profile just in case

Good, I'm not sure how support looks at that, but best to not take any chances.
As I said, give it some time, I'm sure it will be sorted, I had a look at the giveaway creator's profile, and a high level user with many giveaways shouldn't mean any trouble. Check your wins and also make sure you have the right e-mail address registered. People work, sleep, go away on trips, and sometimes it can take a while before they have time to send the key/gift.
If you haven't gotten anything in about 6 days you can try adding the giveaway creator on Steam and giving a friendly reminder. If you haven't received the game after 7 days, then you can mark it as not received (check the FAQ).

Unless it was a group/whitelist giveaway you can view the giveaway by copying the link into a private/incognito window and you find the profile there. Give it time, he may have just done it to prevent you from winning more games from him as others have said. Otherwise I'm sorry to hear about the fake giveaway.

Yeah I know that but my thought process was that him blacklisting me shows that he was online and viewed the giveaways but did not send the gift... (I know that I sound really pushy in saying that but I feel that it is what would have happened...)

Best to wait a week before calling it fake IMHO, especially towards a high-level member here.
Some people send out gifts in batches well after a GA ends, but before the 7-day limit, it isn't at all uncommon.

Seeing as how this ended an hour ago you might want to wait before you cal it a fake giveaway considering how many games this person has given. The giveaway creator has an entire seven days in which to send you the game either through email, steam, gift link, or key. This giveaway was also part of a train so that means he has more than one giveaway to send out so it might take time to get to you. I suggest removing the link and closing this thread. Then if he hasn't sent you the game by next week then make a post about it.
