Tumblestone giveaways trial versus full

+1

Yes to an extend, you can't make 100 of copies, but isn't the trial indeed limited?

But it will stop you from being able to enter future giveaways for a full version of this since "you already own it, and can't remove it".

Ah okay thanks.

Thanks

Yogcast = Trial, monthly = Full

That was full, but I recall that it was added to the free games list at that time despite that. There wasn't ever a clarification as to why, so it's unclear if that's due to the mess that trial copies would make of things, or if that was a staff listing error. (Edit: I did later get a staff statement implying it was intentional, for the expected reason.)

That said, I checked about half a day ago, and Tumblestone wasn't on the giveaway list at all at that time, and I'm still not able to pull it up now. Likewise, there don't appear to be any active giveaways up under that listing.

The "Trial to Full Game Upgrade" is still present on the giveaway list, but unfortunately there's no way to tie that to the base game; Therefore, there's just no way to get CV for the game presently.

Cheers.

Report them.

It's on the no CV list so he won't get anything. None the less you should mark not received and tell the giveaway creator about the problem. If he does not answer you can ask support for help. If you accidentally already marked the giveaway as received just click again on it to unmark it.

To be fair, he made two other giveaways for the game, and judging from their Steam Profile, they got the full game. Perhaps it was just an honest mistake.

I would ask them for a proper key before reporting them.

Oh well, since the game has no CV i'll let it slide.

Mark it as not received, yeah. They didn't provide you with what they promised.

Just do not click "received" button.

Staff already made the game [retroactively] free (I think from unbundled status, even?), so there's no issue of note when the incorrect version is received and not noticed. If you do notice, simply state that it's the incorrect version and mark it as Not Received. There's not much more to it than that, since staff really can't do anything more to solve it, other than once again removing it entirely from the site. Unfortunately, the fact that they made it cv-free does mean that it's that much more unlikely to get a "real" copy on SG now.

I did poke the developer on it, back when the topic was more recent, and they did say they were aware of the matter [since it causes some issues Steam-side, as well] and planning to fix it, but it seems they never did. Alas.

Side-note, it's generally considered inappropriate to necro a topic if you're not contributing new information to it. Just for consideration, especially if you're looking to minimize incoming blacklists.

You have every right to mark it not received, that you buy or get it yourself doesn't make up for what the gifter didn't provide.

If it's the trail version you mark it as "Not received" as it's not the full game. Communicating that to the GA creator, like you want to do, is a good idea.

Unfortunately the big issue is people can or used to(not sure if it's possible still) be able to generate a trail key in the game to give to friends and a lot of those keys seem to be sold to grey market sites. The GA creator possibly purchased one of those and made a GA not knowing it was the trial.
