..you win a GTA V giveaway only to find out later that the key was for Melissa K and the heart of Gold. It hurts more when it's a AAA game

You won Shadow Of Mordor GOTY a few weeks ago though, so you're not that unlucky at least! I haven't won a single triple A game yet. :(

Haha. xD It is! But a big part of winning giveaways is the feeling of being lucky (at least for me) and so that feeling is multiplied when you win a triple A game, being that the chances are at lot less.

sure, but obviously that is rare to happen and for being here just 2 months you got quite a bit already ;-) it usually takes considerably longer and seeing you own many top titles like GTA5,Fallout4,Witcher3 and JustCause3 already, you obviously can't win them anymore ;-) (shouldn't have bought them then haha)

You've got a point. :) And yeah when I see a giveaway for one of those I always feel a pang of sadness that I can't enter it. xD

+1; I have to wonder why you entered the GAs, if you don't ever want to play them?

If it makes you feel better, you can report the person for doing a misleading giveaway.

Bad rats as a surprise key would have been much better. You would still need to mark as not received. Dunno why people even try to offer false keys unless they just want to troll badly.

ohh tempting, making a Fallout4 GA with a BadRats key xD

It would be even nicer with a key for "Shower With Your Dad Simulator". Unfortunately this game is only available on Steam, so no way to get it in key form.

i can understand the disappointment but you should complain directly to the GA maker for trying to get more points from what he gave and report him.

If it was a key it had to be fake, sorry ;) There are NO keys for Steam version of GTA5. All retailers other than Steam offers only Rockstar Games Social Club, Steam version of the game is available ONLY ons Steam, so it can only come in form of a gift copy ;)

Anyway - feel sorry for you, remember to report the guy - Misleading GA will not only mean his GA slot lost after you mark as not received but will also result in 3 day suspension (or more if it's not the first time he pulled this off).

You can get Steam GTA V keys, you just need to go to a physical store to do so. If you know where to look for them. I've seen them in Canada, just like I've seen cards for ARK, I'm sure i I call my local game store they'll have them in stock. So there are steam keys available, it's just not widely known. Accidentally deleted my post, sorry about that.

I didn't even notice that, but yeah I've been seeing Ark being sold in stores on steam cards with the Canadian price. They don't go on sale at the same time as steam sales though, it's better to buy it online.

sorry about that - I also had no idea about that, especially remembering all the drama when it turned out that all the preorders made in all keystores will be delivered as Rockstar keys even while originally it was advertised as Steam Key ;p

I don't think there are enough of them to make a difference, I just know that I've seen them around. Same with Ark, I'm not quite sure if they're that popular though.

Was this the GA where there was such a long discussion about the key's origin?

The creator of the giveaway has seven days to deliver the correct gift. If they fail to do so, you should mark the gift "not received." If you think the person did it on purpose, you may also report him or her for "misleading giveaway" using the Support function.

PS. (Anything else the creator sends you is up to him or her, but it does not remove the obligation to deliver the promised game.)

probably tried to fool you with another game... and the only keys for gta5 are for rockstar, not steam. *facepalm*

well, at least that game has CARDS, now you can idle it and trade it for gta 5*.

Sorry but guessing you just learned to check the feedback of gifter before entering any GA let alone AAA titles. As a rule of thumb unless the gifter clearly states he is going to give the game in the description, stay away from all GA that gifter has not gifted before since most newcomers do not read the rules and assume; I create a GA and nice people here "gimme da game for free".
