Giveaway creator offers different games than listed.

You must receive and activate the exact game listed in the giveaway.

That's still not allowed and if he doesn't send you the proper game, checking "Received" may get you in trouble later.

By the way, for what game was the giveaway?

Congratulations.
Giveaways Entered: 242.
Gifts won: 3.
:D

You would be suspended for marking it received, if you didn't receive it.

If he won't give you key for game you won mark as not received. Otherwise you can get suspended for not activating game you won on your account

The best course of action is to mark it as not received.

That's the general feeling I was having as well. Any thoughts on what I should do about the game keys he did send?

What they all said. But if you do wish to accept a substitute game, the gifter can submit a support ticket to have the giveaway game changed to reflect the game given with proof that you agree. These tickets take a long time to address though, and you'll need to mark the giveaway as "not received" in the meantime.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I took a second look at the keys I was sent, and the keys for the two games that I don't already own aren't even Steam keys. Now I just have to wait until Sunday so I can mark the item as "Not Received"

Bummer, as I was really excited to have won a giveaway. Oh well, on to the next one!

See if maybe the person can buy the game again and give it to you.

I know that with one of the giveaways I did, I had been putting up so many in the span of three days (I'm at 18 giveaways), that I accidentally put up a key I had used. It didn't hit me until the day before the giveaway ended, at like 2am on the morning it ended while I was in bed trying to sleep, that I may have used that particular key.

When the giveaway ended, I sent the key to the winner and told him to check it, that I may have used it already and explained to him that it didn't hit me that it may have been used until 2am that morning (I've created all of my giveaways to be for one day).

He replied and said that it had been used, so since I've been having financial troubles, I borrowed my husbands debit card and bought the bundle that I got the game from again, just so he could have the key. :)

Perhaps if you are lucky, the giver bought the game from a bundle, and they can get it again as well if it's a cheap one like the one I got mine from. (bundle I re-bought just to get the game for the winner was only $3.49)

That depends on what were you supposed to get on Steam VS. what did he give you and on which platform.
