in settings > general there's a checkbox near the bottom left under “desktop notifications” that says “reward is available” -- maybe it’s that? i already had it checked

I think that's just for when you do win the giveaway, I also have it checked

I think you have to opt in for the NVIDIA newsletter in your account settings.

Is that it? Or do you have to do something else after?

Given by what it says in its description, I suppose that this is everything you need. Still, if you find out anything more, then please let us all know about it.

I didn't tell them myself to put caps - they chose it. ;_;
Comment has been collapsed.
Do people really complain about the game being in all caps? ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
It is pretentious as fuck, especially ILOVEMYNAMEINALLCAPS is writing this way even in his announcements.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just looking through my library I found lots of games with unnecessary caps:
ACE COMBAT ASSAULT HORIZON
aMAZE
AX:EL
BARRIER X
BROKE PROTOCOL: Online City RPG
BUTCHER
DARK SOULS™ II: Scholar of the First Sin
(okok I stopped looking here but there are plenty of games in all caps)
etc etc
Hell, every STAR WARS™ game is in all caps along with a trademark (™). Never heard anyone complain about their names being in unnecessary caps before.
Is it pretentious? Sure, I guess it could be. In fact, the name PLAYERUNKNOWN BATTLEGROUNDS is kind of a stupid name to begin with. But really, it is more pretentious to judge a game simply because of its name, imo.
To each their own I guess. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
It is not exactly the same. It is not called SHIBUYA'S DARK SOULS II, or BLENDER'S aMAZE. The all-caps is still rather annoying in general. It can be excused from Japanese publishers, since normal capitalisation on games does not pop out at all from kanji or hiragana, but even there luckily it is not as commonplace.
But my real problem is with how ITWASTOTALLYMEALONEWHOMADETHISGAMEWITHOUTANYHELP loves to shout his name all the time and seems to expect everyone else to do it as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fair enough. I get your point.
From what I understand, Playerunknown put his name on the game because some people would recognize the name from the Arma mod or the H1Z1 collaboration. His name is in all caps in H1Z1 as well, not sure if that is just how he puts his name out there, but it doesn't matter to me.
Just trying to understand- is it the caps that bother you or the creator name plug? Or both? Have you tried the game, and if not- does the name actually prevent you from trying it out?
I just wonder, we all know how popular the game is, and while I enjoy the game I still think the name is stupid. As do most people, we all pretty much call it PUBG. In my opinion, it is no more pretentious than placing a trademark symbol (™) in the name; which is something that never bothered me either.
Maybe it is just counter culture to rail on the (current) most popular game? With how much money the guy made on the game with a stupid name, he gets the last laugh anyway. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Both, frankly. But the creator name plug bothers me a lot more. I found it pretentious with Sid Meier, but eventually it became sort of his catchphrase. Here, a guy who abandoned two similar projects already plasters his name all over the place and people flock there like with some sect.
This also points out that I generally have negative feelings towards the game in general. Its endless beta status that will never be removed, the lie and the sheer volume of microtransactions that shamelessly copy-paste the CS:GO system (which is abhorrent on its own), the small but perpetual controversies like streamer-requested bannings, but especially how its lead creator parades around in his announcements.
As for © and ™ symbols, they are often used as a legal protection, especially when the game title is something that could be a common word by itself. On some others though, it really is flaunting the "yes, we slapped a copyright on it" aspect. Then again, Enhanced Steam removes these, so I rarely see them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for elaborating.
I agree the name could be a bit pretentious. In fact, the name is horrible. It still doesn't dissuade me from playing it, though.
Not trying to be argumentative, but I am not aware of the two similar projects that were abandoned. The arma mod was just a mod which was complete, H1Z1 was just a collaboration. Or were you speaking of other projects? Just wondering.
The endless beta aspect I agree on, but we'll have to see. Nothing tops DayZ with 4 years of early access or H1Z1 with nearly 3 years. PUBG has been out for 8 months now, so we'll have to see if full release comes sooner rather than later; but with so many games in early access for much longer periods of time- well the argument gets less compelling.
The other stuff? Well, I've never seen or heard of anyone I know being banned (about 50 of us play), and the micro-transaction controversy seemed blown out of proportion. Those crates that you could buy keys for were optional skins and were limited time. In fact, those crates that I hoarded I've been selling for $9 each lately. So, the controversy to some was a win for me. ^^
Still, I'm no fanboi, the game has some issues that need to be addressed- like optimization, vehicle physics, climbing and certain other movements; but still the game has been a lot of fun, especially with friends.
About the copyright stuff- I actually studied law so I know how little the © and ™ symbols can mean in an actual legal context. I still find it pretentious myself. Did you know, the cereal brand Cheerios tried to trademark the color yellow on their boxes? Talk about pretentious! They lost their case, obviously. But, a lot of people don't know what the actual copyrights and trademarks do. I could write a book and call it Dark Souls, and I would win in court if I got sued. Unless, of course, the book was related to the actual video game and fell under intellectual property legislation. ^^
Hard to believe an old hipster like me is actually defending the game; but I was genuinely curious where the negative feelings come from. Thanks for explaining! =)

Pretty much myself and everyone I know already has the game, but thanks! ^^

You could remove the game from the giveaway list and it still wouldn't stop them.
"This is actually a giveaway for PUBG, not XCOM Enemy Unknown. Winner will be given the key. Have fun!"
Comment has been collapsed.
A key that can be resold for $30 won't be put up here by those folks ;-)
Also NV uses direct account redemption without any keys either-way.
Comment has been collapsed.
i still have seen it being sold, with those specific redeem instructions
Comment has been collapsed.
Why the hell would it sell for $30? The game itself is selling for $30 on Steam. No one in their right mind would pay $30 to a random stranger for a PUBG key!
Comment has been collapsed.
ask those on the reseller sites who buy/sell it at that price
hint: reusing resell money instead of fresh ones on official channels

I won the previous giveaway (RIME); just signed in to Geforce Experience and received a notification like the drivers updates one.
If you miss it the notification remains in the popup from the top-right bell icon with a green dot if not viewed.

You don't have to opt in for the NVIDIA newsletter too? :/

how to opt-in when geforce experience is currently installed/or login details set to remember it?
Comment has been collapsed.
This might be a stupid question, but I assume you need a NVIDIA GPU to participate?
Comment has been collapsed.
I never won anything from their giveaways. One can assume its due to large numbers of gf experience users. But then again I wouldnt be surprised if those GA's are limited to few selected countries

I've just opened the Geforce Experience to check for updates and found the "1" green badge in the notification bell icon: it was PUBG.
I've not received the notification, or probably just missed it, so check if you won it too as the code is marked to expire on 5 December.
This is the second giveaway I won from NVIDIA, they know I have to buy a new GPU. ;)

2 times? Teach me, master. I want to be the luckiest shamrock around, but I always fail doing so. ;_;
Congratulations! :D Enjoy the game. I hope you'll get some expensive items. :P

Thank you, this is luck, or just because I've an old GTX 670.
Geforce Experience suggests all settings at "Very Low" with a resolution of 1400x900 max.
