It is clearly said that you can activate the game only through steam application

these new key phishing scams are getting real attentive to detail :^)

Just in time before Valve deactivates key generation altogether.

Well, unless you buy your giftable keys from Steam directly!!!

Why would they disable key generation? if this is based from info where they stated that it's not so ez to generate keys for developers, it only affects developers who abuse system and make money from it without really paying Steam....

no more excuses for winners "i don't have access to my pc"
Comment has been collapsed.
more like certain giveaway creators will take the liberty of using it as a further reason to complain when a winner doesn't activate a win within 2 hours

2? Hours? Five minutes! One can do it from the toilet nao!

lol sorry, apparently I gave humanity too much credit =X

Cuts both ways. Had one winner who ten minutes after it had ended was asking where the key was. Just give me a minute buddy, I have a life outside of this website. (ie: I occassionally need to go to the toilet)

Yeah forgivable if he was a noob, but he had won over 100. No "wow thanks for this!", just, "there's no key".
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I had the same thing. I once send a gift after like a few hours. Next day I wake up and that person says something like. I don't know why it took you so long to send the game but thanks anyways.

SG could include a link to the key activation page under the winned key.

I say this: https://store.steampowered.com/account/registerkey?key=AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD-EEEEE , agree & go :P

It would be better if Steam allowed link like... https://store.steampowered.com/account/registerkey?key=AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC-DDDDD-EEEEE. Oh... I actually found right URL variable by accident... LOL Way better, easier and faster :)
AJAX + POST with two variables... product_key and session_id. Easy to automate, unfortunately using AJAX + POST from SteamGifts would cause cross origin problems. Nvm, I updated link above, I've found URL/GET variable so it's possible to send key from other website. Click, agree & GO! MUAHAHAHA
Wait... am I actually first to find this? I can't find URL on Reddit or other provided links...

Time for new one "my mobile battery has discharged"... or "Steam is down for me at the moment" :P

Well, this part does not work

Pretty good, they still need to implement a way to check if a key is activated or not though (before actually activating the key, getting a product already owned or being shown as a duplicate). GOG is so much ahead in that regard.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not going to speculate as to the reason why but it seems to me that that is by design and a result of a conscious decision on their part to keep that functionality out of the public domain.

This is REALLY good news, I waited for this since I created account
Comment has been collapsed.
I confirm it's working. I just activated a key and it worked without any problem. You also get a confirmation email saying "Thank you for activating your product on Steam!" containing the steam account name, the contact email address, the product name and the confirmation code.
Well, it was about time for them to finally provide what's pretty much common sense nowadays.
Comment has been collapsed.
basically you receive the receipt by email. is it pdf or text email? i save the recipts
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a textual email not a pdf, but you can print the email page as a pdf file if you want.
Comment has been collapsed.
thanks. i just checked myself activating some key i had.it's basically the receipt in the body of the email. i can confirm that activation can finally be done from a mobile phone.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're welcome. In my opinion this is more reliable than the activation through the steam client because the client has the bad habit of crashing from time to time while attempting to save the receipt, meaning some of the receipts are lost. Saving the pdf from the email is less error prone and your receipt history is accessible from anywhere if you leave the confirmation message in your email account.

This will be handy for people who win games on here when they can't access their pc, that's for sure.
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed! Or, when the Steam client wants to act like it cannot connect to Steam servers for a day, or days...

you have to bookmark the url for now, no way to navigate to it, for now atleast
