So, I voted for Golden Joystick Awards like 2 weeks ago, and i received an email telling me that i could get a key for the game, just by clicking on the link within the email. I clicked and there's no place to put your email if you are already registered.
Then, i tried to put my credentials as it is in GMG, i got a message saying that it was over.
I created another account and did the same process from the beginning, still, the same message.
So what is going wrong then?


Saw some posts of mates from here, well, it seems my region is blocked or they don't like Brazilians. I used TOR to claim it and in the first time, i got it. My question is: why?

They did stated they ran out of stock. But if you didn't get that message, maybe you're IP blocked or sumthin sumthin.

How the hell they ran our of stock in 30 minutes or less? And just saying, i remember they said that people who already voted would have their key reserved if the promotion came.

I'm from Argentina, and I didn't have that problem today... But, when I told my friend about this, he tried to get the key, and couldn't do it. So, yeah, maybe we southamericans got blocked or something.

You also have to have the same email address in both places. I didn't get mine either, even though I changed it later.

I've just created one another account, and just for testing. I was aware of that, BUT I did everything right the first time, but still no key... And from what i remember, when i finished voting 2 weeks ago, it said that my key was reserved IF this promotion came; It came, but now i can't get my key? What?

I was so hyped, I really wanted to play this game with my friend, I didn't manage to get a copy for myself though since I wasn't home all day. Now I am getting info about no more keys. The question is: Is it really worth risking using TOR or some kind of other thing that may ge me a key? Well, I'm saying risk since such things are probably not allowed... Still, it is extremely unfair not to allow some people to claim the game while others can :(

I bet is is mostly those trying to take advantage of the "free" key to get multiple keys and to make "giveaways" wherever they can that are having problems.
It took all of 45 seconds for me to get my key after replying to the email, and activate it on steam.

Its a region block.

Read the terms and conditions

"The "Golden Joysticks Free Game" promotion ("Promotion") is open to people aged 18 years and over who are resident in a Green Man Gaming trading country ("Applicable Countries") except employees and immediate families of the Promoter, or anyone else professionally connected with the Promotion ("Participants")."

Basically, if you are not able to buy games from GMG, you are probably not able to get the free game.
