I had enter one of giveaways titled as: Serious Sam 3: Jewel of the Nile
Thought that maybe this is a full game, but it's only a DLC.

AFAIK I shouldn't be allowed to enter this giveaway because I don't have a base game. But now I'm kinda confused, because I have enabled button [Enter to Win].

So... do anyone else have a problems with DLCs?

proof

PS How can I create clickable link? Which tags should I use?

In most cases you are not able to enter DLC if you don't own the base game. This isn't true for every game though. I already own Serious Sam 3 AND the jewel of the nile DLC but I can still enter this giveaway as well (even after syncing my profile). This isn't the only game with this dlc issue. It's probably an issue with Steam, not with SteamGifts, that's my guess.

Hm.. Here is second DLC from Serious Sam: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Yamr6/serious-sam-hd-the-second-encounter
Like above -- I have no problems with enter.

Probably you're right, but I wanna know if this problem exists only with Serious Sam, or maybe it is a much wider.

That one is not a DLC. The picture is glitched and has been ever since steamgifts was made.

As far as I remember, it has something to do with how SG tracks which DLC belongs to which games and such. As in; this happens to a bunch of DLC.

As such, I'm pretty sure it's an "issue" on SG. I might be wrong, though!

Also, OP, Here you go

Support told me thats a Steam issue cuz Steam does not label every dlc as dlc (if i understood it correctly,the real words were TECHNOBABBEL BLAH BLAH DLC BLAH STEAM BLAH BLAH WRONG). It's at least true that if you tell Steam to show you only games,no DLC,it still shows some DLC.

The image says dlc quite clearly on it, so even if sg glitches like this, there's still no reason to enter to be honest...?

Some full games are labeled as DLC. Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter is one of them
