That's not a lot of time if you're not looking for it. I rarely go into my inventory myself.

Before you create the giveaway, you are asked to make sure that you've chosen the correct game, amount of time, etc.

Yes, but that's a minor mistake. He should have checked, but there's even many problems that could come from that.

But before creating the giveaway, there's a new page with all the information ON SCREEN waiting a confirmation, there's also a BIG PICTURE for the game and title... How is it possible to not see that?

I'm not saying it's possible to not see that. I'm saying it's possible he over-looked some information by accident.

Doesn't matter. Even joking about it is against the rules. If we allowed joking about it, then the forum could be flooded with "joke" begs.

The guy is so clearly joking though.. I mean obviously OP can't and won't buy H:A for every person on Steamgifts.. c'mon, use your brain!

But she didn't even beg... She said "You have to buy Hitman Absolution to all of us.", not "Please, give to all of us Hitman...". That's called "requesting" or "demanding", not "begging". Does the rules say anything that is against requesting or demanding?

Requesting or demanding a game IS considered begging here. And even if person is obviously sarcastic/joking/trolling it is still suspendable. Because he may see that it's just trolling, OP may see it's trolling, you, me, even support may see it's obviously trolling - but a SG newbie comes in, don't see it as trolling, thinks it's okay and start begging himself.

I think the rule is if you ask to be given anything, and "all of us" includes the beggar so this counts.

I just clearly explained why joking about begging is against the rules, and then you respond with, "But he's joking!" Yes, I know he is joking.

1: Discover the identity of the winner
2: Kill them (if this step is difficult, install and play Hitman 2, then try it again)
3: Ask SG support for a reroll, saying that you couldn't get in touch with the winner
4: Go back to step 1

^ This. I had to do this once cause I also FUCK UP ON A GIVEAWAY. Mine only had 500ish entries though, so it wasn't that bad. Good luck killing 2184 people.

SG support rerolls, new winner, he still doesn't have Hitman Absolution to give to winner, so he kills new winner, SG support rerolls, etc...

Then torture the first winner until he confirms the giveaway and kill him, that way you dont have to go through the other 2183 people

Don't you think it's wrong to force somebody to be dishonest? Besides lying about receiving a game when he didn't could get him banned. This way is much safer.

The beauty of this method is that it's completely honest, no lying required. Some people might have an issue with killing 2000+ people, but rerolling, failed contact and support requests all take time, and it's entirely possible that the game will be in a bundle or an easily affordable sale before the OP even has to kill a hundred winners.

It doesn't solve the problem completely, but you could try to get a copy at SteamTrades cheaper. (preferably giftable copy and not a key, just to be safer)

Can you tell me something? Your steam account says you are living in USA, so... Why are speaking like you got no education? I guess you either put USA without living there, you are an underage child (which is bad, and you should not be here if you are 12-), or you are disgracing your country's language by writing fast and without caring about what you write. In the last two cases, I feel shame for even reading your comments. Hope you are just from another country...

But still I've seen lots of people from USA with horrible grammar.. so I don't know :(

Maybe you can contact the winner to tell him/her to contact support and make a ticket to help you delete the giveaway if you are both willing? I highly doubt that the winner would cooperate but it's worth a shot.

Contact the winner and tell them that there has been a problem with the key, and that you are currently talking to support about it.

Then, make sure to contact support about the issue and they will give you the official word on whatever can be done. Hopefully they will realise it was a simple mistake and close the giveaway if at all possible (which would refund the points to everyone who entered). If not, well, it's not the end of the world. It will be a small black mark on your record but really, mistakes happen, and you can learn from this so that it never repeats, y'know?

Okay, as others have said, you have multiple options. Buy the game, ask the support to delete the giveaway, or ask support to change the giveaway to Hitman 2 and reroll. In the latter two options, apologise profusely to the winner.
