Faith in humanity partially has been restored.
Shame on you all people who exploit Metro 2033 giveaway to get free contributor points.

Finally, they should do the same to Dota2 giveaways as well

i got suspended 3 days b/c of this. ironically b/c i was trying to do something nice. unknown to me at the time there was apparently a forum post. the only time i ever bothered to even look to see if there was a forum was today. i was completely locked out and only knew about this after the fact.
when i created the giveaway, NOWHERE was it listed on the give away page that i could not post more than 1. this information about "As per our standard policy with developer/publisher key giveaways, we have limited this to a maximum of one such giveaway per user" was never listed in the giveaway page. in fact when i set up the giveaway it said in a dropdown box i could list 2 to give away. again, in my mind if there was some policy then why did it allow more than 1?
So b/c the dropdown box let me put 2, i put 2. i happen to have 2 facebook accounts, 1 per account so i got the 2 keys to give away.
also i dont see anywhere from thq where it says you cant have 2 facebook accounts and get 2 keys. http://enterthemetro.com/us/metrolastlightcompetitioncompetitiontermsconditions/ (this link was pulled right from the THQ facebook tos)
i'm not trying to be argumentative, but i suggest the next time some kind of policy or decision is made about future games, how about put that limit/lock/whatever on the giveaway page? how about a note about 'important information regarding x game' posted in the give away page?

It's not practical to re-code the site every time a dev decides to throw a few thousand keys at people for free just to protect a few people re-gifting stuff they got for free from having to sit out a light warning suspension because they can't be bothered to check the rules. Maybe take a little responsibility for your actions and failures to act instead of expecting the world to spoon-feed you everything and look after you like a baby.

They can get one of the THOUSAND free keys ,or buy it.

it probably won't be because there is nothing that is stopping people from stockpiling them and we don't know where people got the keys unless they provide proof of purchase so for all we know, you could have gotten it from the promotion but are lying to us.

apparently the mods "gives a fuck" because you got suspended when giving away more than one copy and other people that gave one away didn't and those giveaways are from before the change.
please tell us how much you deserve the extra $23.01 that those giveaways could have earned you.
tell us how much you slaved away to earn enough money to buy those two games or you can't because you didn't work to get them but got them for free at facebook.

I think that you maybe need to create another ... , lets call it "tab" , which you can create giveaways for steam games that were free for limited time like metro 2033 and others , and the creator won't get contribute value for that and it will not give 5% points of the giveaway value to everyone.
P.S: you also can do that it will not require points to enter those giveaways :3 , and the users will be able to adjust if they want to see those free giveaways or not :D

Hmmm nice point
Well maybe only 3 free giveaways per user on one time or something like that

what if the giveaway creator decides to check the winner's game list first? if the game is there he can report the user. and u can make a sticky with a warning about ban hammer if the person gets caught trying to dupe the metro key

As I said , there won't be contributer points for those free giveaways :) , just to give steam keys for other peoples :)

i'll just sum it up. not that much legit entries on those giveaway. support will have to re-roll many times to get someone that haven't won it yet. so those giveaways will waste both support's time and take a toll on the servers
and for crying out loud, if they are exploited games, it's not that hard for everyone to get it, so if they even slightly want it, they could get it themselves.

We removed Metro 2033 from the giveaway list, since it's freely available on Facebook at the moment. When they run out of keys, we'll look into bringing it back.
