The game they've sent to you is probably region locked meaning it can only be used in certain countries so there's not much you can do try contacting them

Region-restricted gifts are not allowed, generally. I'd need to check about possible changes to the policy, like maybe things that are able to be activated worldwide except for one specific area (I'm looking at you, Germany) might be allowed, but as far as I know, they're generally prohibited.

Such are allowed to my knowledge, since it is common for certain games to be blacklisted for a country like Germany.

I suspect as much. I'd just have to poke one of the other mods to be sure about it. Thanks!

Regionlocked key. That is against the site rules.

Alan Wake for sure, the giveaway-er posted on the steam profile about it.

No. It puts the winners account at risk of getting banned for a game that wasn't allowed to be given under site rules, and might not be playable without it, putting the account at further risk.

And violate Steam's ToS, risking the entire account for one game. No, we specifically crack down on anything even hinting at violating Steam's ToS. This post is arguably suspension-worthy. Please delete it.

Is it me or its kind of crazy that people with BAD things in their profile post on forums and stuff instead of laying low so no one actually checks their profile and see it and possibbly even report it :P?

Negotiation....i made a gift once, it wasn't even a game, it was a fallout stash courrier something....i didn't know it would be region lock. The guy already gave confirmation positive so i gave him the amount of money the stash was, seems fair enough.

Just write to him saying that it's locked and ask could he send you not locked version. If he can't than mark as not received or write to support (though this could end up him having a ban).

I'm feeling sorry about you, winning a good game but yet can't redeem - mark it as not received, or try to negotiate about him/her buying a non-locked one for you (it's quite often on sales, + summer sale 75-80% for sure)

Luckily Alan Wake costs 2,- on the internets so he could fix it and get a 3,- hamburger for the trouble.

Yeah.. That's really something that's gonna end up getting one or both of you suspended.

You still shouldn't mark the game as received if you didn't receive that game. If other users/support see that you "received" Alan Wake but then it's not on your account, you could be suspended or refused entry to certain group since it will look like you re-sold/traded away the game you won.

The best thing to do is still mark the game as not-received and perhaps contact support about simply deleting the giveaway altogether.
