What a retarded comment. I made 1 giveaway with it cause I spinned a few times and got a game I already have.
So now I am an abuser for having some fun and giving the result away while I alreay spent some good money for other giveaways? None of my games I gave away were keys.. Thats one way to look at it I guess...

He did say "people that abused it", as in, not just a single copy but multiple ones.

There is nothing wrong with the term abused.
Frozenbyte didn't create that site so people could get keys and increase their contributor status on steamgifts.
The fact the people took the opportunity to nab Frozenbyte's intellectual property and give it away as their own is the very definition of abuse.
Actually let me google that for you;
Abuse is the improper usage or treatment for a bad purpose, often to unfairly or improperly gain benefit.
Hmm sure seems solid.

FrozenByte created a site that dispenses a potentially unlimited amount of keys with basically no strings attached. I can do whatever I want with them. I can assure you that they would not give a shit if I gave away their keys by the dozen. They're being given away in any case. Unless someone starts actually re-selling the keys for a profit later, what's it to them?
The only party that might care is SteamGifts because a bunch of people are getting "contributor status" without really contributing anything very much.

Oh Really!?
That is just patently false, frozenbyte isn't setting out to supply individuals with dozens of keys, whatever led you to that belief is the same rational people use to flood steamgifts with items for personal gain.
In fact on that very site (summerseal.com) it states;
"And please respect the seals, don't abuse the system! :)"
If peoples idea of proper use revolves around farming keys for non personal use, and personal gain, well then I guess the issue lies more with society, or in this case, this community.
Any reasonable and prudent person would identify what is happening here as abuse. If you want to rationalize it differently that is up to you.

There are 5 prizes. I wanted Shadowgrounds Survivor. In trying to get it, I won a Trine 75% off key, Trine 2 75% off key, and several Shadowgrounds keys. This is in, no way, abusing the system. If they wanted, they would just not allow a combination to spin on a redeemed IP (similarly how they check when you can or cannot spin). So, once again, how is getting multiple of one of the 5 keys available abusing their lottery system?

And yet I legit don't have Shadowgrounds and never got a key because I literately found out about the summer seal 30 minutes ago. Pfft. I don't understand why the company did that. They lost a lot of money, and probably lost any to all chances of making money from the Shadowground games in the future.

Shadowgrounds barely has sales anymore, and its old, so they were not making money from it.
But believe me, this will be great advertisment to Trine, they will surely cash some sales because of this.

I have three standard -75% off coupon for Trine 2.
Add me on Steam, first come first served, 100% free.

Yes i Know, but you sir dont know. There are abusers and users who dont abuse the system. They got key for free so they gave it out. Stop being stupid or maybe someone like you will forbid air transport, because abusers use it to destroy skyscrapers or transfer drugs -_-

Summer Seal is sleeping (keys are over for this day, but we might come back! You can follow us at twitter @frozenbyte to get the information immediately!). No more keys will be given out today and hopefully it will completely stop. It was abused greatly. Individuals have got hundreds of keys.
