Hi, a conundrum!

The winner of my Skyrim giveaway has contacted me to inform me that his friend gave him a copy of the game yesterday and he's no longer in need of the game and would feel bad taking it.

I'm not fussed either way, but what's the protocol? What do I do?

I believe if you contact support they can redraw and someone else wins it.

Contact a mod through the Support feature and ask whether you should re raffle it or if they would pick another random winner from the participants of the original giveaway. Or just gif it to me I'll take good care of it. Either way seems to work for me...

could always just give it to me, and ask the guy to tick the giveaway as recieved. i think that would be the best option, because i dont have the $89 USD steam wants to charge me to buy the thing :(

You could reraffle it,you know.
Or you could just give it to me. :D That would be awesome,because Skyrim isn't going to be released in my place (the PC version,sigh that I don't own a console :( ),and for some weird reason I can't buy it off Steam from my place too (Asia). :D

Give it away to people that can use it ie me, but yeah just contact the mods and ask them for help.

just re-roll the original giveaway. its the fairest way to do it, given that someone else from that giveaway would have won if the guy had removed his entry as he should have done if he no longer needed the game...

Create a thread and see how many people you can get to ask you for the game. For every person who asks, take a shot.

Imagine accidentally winning a giveaway with over 6000 entries and not needing it. Would make me cry if it happened to me.

How about we have some bloody patience and wait for a moderator to respond to all 50 tickets in the first hour they're awake? Thanks.

That was nice that his friend gave him a copy. I am sure the best way would probably just re-roll. Although, do they keep a record of who entered?
