Probably Raptr reached out to Valve or something like that to unlock the codes. They did say "If you're having region lock probs with today's Dead Island reward - we're on the case and will update you via your Raptr email addy. ...until then, hold on to your codes. Thanks for your patience and understanding!" via Twitter. I doubt we will have any problems with our accounts. And from what i saw when i activated mine it was showing (RO/ROW) or something likethat ( i clicked the next tab way too qickly from excitment :D ).

Did you even read my post? I clearly said that Dead Island IS exploited but DEAD ISLAND GOTY is NOT. Since the thread is about DEAD ISLAND GOTY, then that is understandably the "this game" referred to in my second sentence.
To make it clear, DEAD ISLAND GOTY was NEVER exploited and was only barred from giveaways because of the region lock.

germany may still be on the restricted list as it has it's own (heavily cut) Dead Island version, so you may need to get it gifted on steam instead if you want it uncut

i own dead island already as east version.. no problem with activating... thats why i dont think its on the region locked list
Comment has been collapsed.
does anyone know which version it activates as btw?
is it the ROW version or the (slightly cut) NA one? (title screen is slightly different for NA vs. ROW, rest is uncut)

not exactly i own dead island already... was also a key.. but eastern version... maybee the key that raptr gave us is a western key... i dont know... but i hope they will fix it... but i gave the key a friend and he said today its invalid... we live in the same town.

Thanks, glad they fixed it and it was all a misunderstanding.

Now all they need to do is give everyone who couldn't claim the code because their webserver fell over a code too and we'll be happy! ^_^

Earning entails jumping through their hoops, checking them in with the site, and then showing up on time to claim the key. If you didn't do that, you didn't earn it.
I fail to see how they need an excuse for not stocking more keys. They were giving that shit away for free.

i agree with u 100% but many people did the above and afterwards were met with server errors on raptrs end and they said its are fault for constantly refreshing the page, lol they don't need to have more keys but a stable system so people dont have this issue again would be nice.

why do you people care so much about a mediocre 5 dollar game? seriously i've seen you people waste hours of your day and frustration over this. you coulda done 1 hours work and bought 4 copies next time it was on sale... and then given them away because the game's not even good.

Not everyone makes 20 dollars an hour first off, second off I HIGHLY doubt people spent hours sending in a note to raptr or posting a couple messages on a board, thirdly the games actually rated pretty decently, so not sure what you are going on about.
Some people....

Holy shit, they released all region locks on it. I activated it here in Germany, uncut, even though Steam doesn't even sell it at all (searching for Dead Island just gives me an error page).
And so quickly too. Didn't expect that, hats off to them.
Although the hordes of entitled dorks bitching at them probably made sure that something like this will never happen again. (This is why we can't have nice things.)

"they earned"... it's a promo - you get stuff for free without doing anything, nobody "rightfully earned" anything here :P

your point is?? It has nothing to do with my opinion on the matter and regardless they do give u game requirements, such as a specific game or one from a list and u have to play X amount of time. I'm not saying it's unreasonable or wrong, bad, etc... I gave a valid point and had my own opinion. End of story, but thanks for the link even though I am aware of that info.

If you won the giveaway and you were in a region locked country, try activating your key NOW! Mine worked!
