The game has been made available for free by Penny Arcade, and thus, the game has been added to the bundle list AND been removed from the dropdown list until an undetermined date.

Please do not make giveaways with the keys you get from their promotion. Apparently they're being cycled from a key list, and the key you see on the website may be already used. At this point, we don't know how many keys they're planning to give away.
Also, please do not offer these keys for trade offers, or trade with users who are offering these as keys. Chances are they're duplicate, and you'll most likely face problems with them.

For users that have a copy of the game in their Steam inventory, we understand your frustration, but until we get a clear idea about how big their promotion is, the game will not be added to the dropdown list.

On top of that, make sure you DON'T submit it as one of the other PA games.

Well, I didn't feel the need of saying that since it was SO FRICKIN OBVIOUS.

If you submit as one of the other Penny Arcade titles in the dropdown list:

  • You'll receive a Misleading Giveaway suspension since you're not giving away what you've selected.
  • You'll receive an Inappropriate Behavior suspension if you go ahead and make multiple giveaways, as these kind of promotions are intended as one key per person. You'll be exploiting it otherwise.
  • You'll get a Not Received mark on your profile since the key will be most likely, from what it seems, duplicate.

I know, that's why we had to act quickly and remove it from the list. Those will probably end with Not Received marks.

There's no such thing as too obvious. People can always find a way to lower the bar.

If there's one thing I learned it's that holding inventory copies is risky. I had a Double Fine bundle in my inventory, cost $7.50, and I never expected it to become a $1 indie bundle. Gave that away when it did and lost the CV.

Which reminds me that I should give away other stuff I have on inventory before it gets starred.

To all who plan to spam keys on different sites - have in mind Penny Arcade's Giveaway Page keeps giving already used keys, I had 3 times duplicate key and managed to get a working one on 4th try.

I can confirm this. Got two duplicate keys before getting an unused one.

Also, I'd suggest not offering it for trades either as there's a high chance it will be duplicate.

have people actually gotten dup results yet though? i imagine it'll automatically stop once the key list is through, which should be anytime soon unless PA really did request over 100k+ keys.

Yeah, the forum topic (the first link in the OP) contains many posts where users claim they got dupes. Other websites have comments about users getting dupes too.

Yeah, I had to try over and over again with different browsers util I finally got some. Got as many as I could before it started ignoring me again and dropped them in the forum for the other poor souls who could not pass the captcha.

If you make a GA after a game's been bundled then you'll get bundled CV. You have to make it before the bundled date.

Ah, I was hoping the Episode 3 spam would refill my points, like every bundle that comes out. I guess this has to be my Ying to the Galagiveaways insane Yang.

Well, seeing the amount of keys here and in other giveaway sites, I fear this game will have the same fate as Metro 2033. 5 hours, and the site is still up despite being abused everywhere.

Are the keys still working though? You'd think they'd run out of non-duplicates by now

New keys are still being handed out, along with the common "dupes". It's not as fast as it was before, but it's still happening from what I see.

Site still up and so far the two keys I got worked, as have the keys friends have grabbed. Looks like they might have filled the dupe problem. Or my circle is just lucky.

I was thinking about the situation with blacklisting the game similar to Metro 2033. Sooner or later all the codes that were available will be used as they are already giving out duplicates. If this was the same as Metro 2033 where codes are given to one person privately only, and not redeemable by anyone else, then by all means blacklist it. I think give it a few weeks or a month with no giveaways possible, see what the situation is like then and then add the game back to the site. I know a few people (including myself) have giftable copies of the game, while everyone will probably have it, we would still like to give them away to someone that may have missed out.

It should be possible to manually correct CV of specific games to $0 and prevent them from generating points, thereby allowing people to give it away with no profit to anyone. Metro 2033 is one (I still have a legitimate key for it I got off Amazon). Others, too, like Faerie Solitaire..
