3 of my giveaways have just ended at the same time.

All 3 winners missing the base game.

Have contacted support etc.

Does this really annoy anybody else?

Fine. If they buy the base game before Support rerolls them (which give them ∞ time atm), then I will happily honour the win.

tbh if this was mine mistake and i entered a giveaway in which creator cant send me a game i would mark it as received. This is not a creators fault

Leeching and game hoarding should annoy you, that's a appropriate reaction Tom.

You can, because some dlcs are bugged like that.

+1 to this... It's saved my ass when I didn't know if I was looking to enter a sequel or a DLC pack for some games (it was hard to get a read on Command and Conquer 3 on this front for a while).

I saw that I could enter but I also noticed that they were not for Magic 2013, which I own :P

I have no idea about any of the magic games whatsoever, apparently people had to own Magic2012 aswell as Deck pack 1. Non of them even had the base game let alone the deck pack :(

It happens with some games. The dlc isn't linked to the base game, so they're unlocked. Not quite sure how cg handles those, but yes they are very annoying.

Well, whenever I win I personally thank the person who gives me the game, either on steam or through email (usually steam) because I think it's reasonable to do when the person was kind enough to give a game. As for my winners, I've gotten thank yous from some, but not all; there's only so much you can do. As for people missing the base game, I did have to reroll 2 of my giveaways because of winners who don't pay attention to rules, so it happens, but if you get a winner that actually wants and enjoys the game, it's worth the reroll (even if it is annoying).

To be fair, those ones are confusing. It's essentially DLC for DLC.

I agree. But not one out of the 3 even owned the base game. So DLC for a DLC doesn't even come into question yet :P

Oh, crap, I thought you meant base game as in the DLC base, not the base game. What the fuck.

Yeah I can imagine the majority of people have done the same thing. Not going to waste my time looking through though haha. I wont re-reoll them until they have been sorted so that only people who own the base game and Deck Pack 1 can enter

That is a monumental case of bad luck mate. Some people must be using a script to automatically enter giveaways, or have forgotten to turn on the Windows accessibility options, and are blindly hammering away at the mouse button in the hope of clicking on something good...

I guess so. I wouldn't be half as bothered if I knew the rerolls would come relatively quickly, but it's probably going to be weeks

The thing is, there are plenty of people, both old mods and other people, who will happily sit there and sift through the backlog now. Really odd. I'd have no problem spending a day or two trying to work through them lol

I'm pretty sure cg is doing work on the site, so no one can have mod status until he's done. From what i understand.

Yeah that's my understanding too. Just saying that I would be willing to help if needed is all.

This site needs an IQ test in order to become a member. If you can score an IQ of more than 5 then you're in. I bet we would go from 177,417 members down to 1,000 within minutes.

Also , how are they even able to enter without having the base game? If I was missing the base game it doesn't allow me to enter the giveaway.

Agree on the IQ test.

You are able to enter certain DLCs as the storeID has been changed at some point and cg hasn't updated the site to cater to these changes yet.
