Winner of my gift already owns the game. Best course of action?

Closed
loaf

First of all, this isn't anything major, just the HIB2, but I noticed the person who won already owns the games in the bundle. I plan on asking what his intentions are when I catch him online, but what are my options here? Depending on his explanation, I may be happy to give him the key, but is there any ability for me to just relist my gift without getting a black mark on my account for not sending a gift?

I think the best course would be to email inbox@steamgifts.com and ask them to make it pick another winner.

If that's possible, that would be great. Will do that now.

People always assume the worst, just remember: He might have entered the contest, and won / purchased the games himself in the time since then. Hell, he might have won Indie Bundle 2 and then purchased Indie Bundle 3 and gotten the second one for free. Or won them in another contest and forgotten all about yours.

So... He should still send the bundle to him?

Umm, No?

Did I say that? Please show me where I said that.

What I did say was that people always assume the guy is being a douche and that's not necessarily the case.

Show me that assumption made by the OP or anyone else in this thread.

The person already has the bundle, it doesn't matter what may have happened or how they got the bundle.

He never said the OP nor anyone in the thread made any assumptions. You are the only one making assumptions here. He was just making a simple statement, reminding would-be witch-hunters that the winners intentions may not have been bad. Just relax!
And what he says is true, people witch hunt giveaway winners on this site all the time.
And yes, to some of us, it does matter how he got the bundle.

Like Fanofgaming said, email inbox@steamgifts.com, and ask for a re-roll.

Fuck! I sent Portal 1 gift to a winner. But he had had this game before. It was a few days ago, but i didn't know to do. Now it's too late.

Has he redeemed it yet? If not, consider making a new giveaway with it.

Yes. I don't even know why are they so sly to try getting games which they have already had?

CG has real life to attend to sometimes. He will respond eventually, rest assured.
