"This means that one winner has the potential to get all 3 copies."
I'd have assumed that in giving them the link the GA creator would realise that, and let them do whatever they want with the other 2 copies. I was considering making a GA for it and that's how I'd have handled it anyway. :p Certainly wouldn't ask the winner not to share the link. In the same way, when Gun Monkeys was still on the list I wouldn't have asked the winner to give me back the extra copy that spawns when you activate it.
Fair enough though, I'll comply!

It makes me sad that you all just assume that they all give them away just to exploit the system. I used to give away stuff here that I didn't need and I couldn't care less about CV.

What if people explicitly specify in the giveaway that they're doing this?
EDIT: They've been ninjaed, save yourself the clicking.
Insurgency gift link 1 that I emailed to myself: https://www.humblebundle.com/s?key=8sEvmbbFupSUZPas
Insurgency gift link 2 that I emailed to myself: https://www.humblebundle.com/s?key=dr3rWatks73HHks5
Seems like that avoids the issue nicely.

*This is not my word, but the word of a moderator. Raiden agrees with this course of action.
At the moment, there are no moderators online with the power to remove this game from the list, but please do NOT make giveaways for it just because it is there.
This decision has been made because all 3 copies are on the same link. This means that one winner has the potential to get all 3 copies. While there are ways this can be avoided, it is too much of a risk to allow this to continue. As well as this, I am sure you can all see the impact it is having on the site's stability, which is another reason this will be removed at the first available time.
Those who have already made Insurgency giveaways will not be punished for that act alone, as this is a unique situation, and there was no way of them knowing this would happen.
Thank you.*
**EDIT BELOW DUE TO NEW INFORMATION.
Okay. All Insurgency giveaways are now allowed again. Do not exploit this. They've been added to the bundle list, but cg believes that the servers can handle this, so they're gonna be allowed.
HOWEVER. This is a note to anyone who makes giveaways for them. Please do NOT give out the link that the page gives you. Instead, visit that link yourself, and enter the winners' emails there. This means they can't gift your extra copies unless you want them to.**
Sorry for the initial confusion about this post, but since there were no higher authorities online at the time, this was the judgement that was made beforehand, given the effect it initially had on the site.
