So it was sanctums free weekend, and people couldnt enter sanctum giveaways ( wich is pretty sad for me... I wonder why that happens and how is it fixable ) I heard something about resyncing steam, but how you do that? will that make u able to enter sanctum giveaways? if anyone could tell me i would be most grateful, so i would have a chacne to win a sanctum copy! thanks for the info in advance!!

Also I see a few guns of icarus online giveaways but I always see reports in comments. Is that illegal? people cant giveaway guns of icarus online keys? if yes, why? It also looks pretty sad to me, few games i'd like to have and all seems to have some bugs with it, or im just that unlucky. THx for the info!

Best regards for everyone ;)

On the matter of the Guns of Icarus online keys I can just say that gifiting beta keys is against the site's rules (and that's what all those giveaways are for, beta keys). Most of the user created Guns of Icarus Online keys are just regifted from the big 15000 copies giveaway that the developers created a while back, and regifting games are also against the rules.

All of those keys are gone? theres no other way to get into beta?
those players who want to gift their codes, have to sit on them? why is it against to send the codes they recieved ? i thought this site is for people getting stuff, other players dont want. Like, I would like a guns of icarus online betakey, some people have, from the 15k giveaway, they dont want it, why cant they give it to me for example?

I hear it is because the site can't detect the difference between actually owning the game and these free weekend games. For future reference with any free weekend, sync before installing, then don't sync anytime during the time you have it installed for any reason. better to let a day or two pass as well because the last Borderlands free weekend left the data on my account for like a week, despite resyncing and uninstalling it from Steam.

Although that was probably divine retribution since I played it several hours past the official stop time (Steam won't stop you from playing a free weekend game until you close it).

Syncing before you install won't help, because the free weekend game still appears in your Steam Library. The best thing is to Sync on Monday, so that the free weekend game has cleared from your inventory.

@OP - temporarily switch your Steam profile to public if its normally private or friends only, scroll up to the top of any SteamGifts page, click Account->Sync Account, near the top of that page, click Force Sync, then, if applicable, reset your Steam profile privacy settings.
