Ever been thrilled to see that wonderful green bar pop up when you log in only to be disappointed 7 days later with not receiving your gift? I've had a few. Well here's your chance to right that wrong, at least, in part :D. This giveaway is for anyone who has won a game and not received it. There are only 3 very simple rules. Share the link with anyone you want but you must meet all three rules in order to win. Giveaway ends on Christmas so you'll have a nice present that day. The prize is Portal 2, a fantastic game that I thoroughly enjoyed and I hope you do too. There is an obligatory $30.01 contributor value so you'll have to give away at least one game of value.

Merry Christmas!

RULES:

  1. You must not have broken any SG rules: no exploited keys, regifting, etc. I WILL be checking.
  2. You must have at least one not received win.
  3. You must have a 100% gifts given record, obviously. That's the point of this giveaway, we don't like those people :P

No shenanigans to circumvent these rules. This giveaway is meant to make someone have a good day when they had a bad day in the past. I will report you mercilessly and bring shame upon you.

Sensing a theme with the rules? Yup, we don't want that kind here. Depending on interest I might add some more in here so keep posted.

Enjoy!

+1. I satisfy every rule (sadly for #2), but already have Portal 2. Cool idea though!

Agreed! I meet all three, as well, but own Portal 2. One of my favorite fall-back games, when I want to play, but don't know what. Whoever wins will get a great addition to their library!

Haha! I know what you mean, but nobody wants to be a "victim", right? In the year 2012, being a victim of ANYTHING is so passé...

Besides, my inner strength and positive self image meant I got through and came out on the other side, a stronger and better person. vein pulses uncontrollably on forehead

That said, I look forward to the time I am able to visit the Steam Store Dungeons page without my therapist present, and a box of Kleenex to hand ;__;

So what if you won a giveaway, never got the gift, and then had the giveaway deleted? You can ask wbarton about it if you want to, since I'm not sure support tickets can be shared. (or should be, tho no names where actually mentioned in said ticket.)

Never thought about that. I didn't know support deleted non-gifts since they don't count for contributor anyway. They really do that?

Yeah, it was way back when Ubisoft had a sale. It was for a "Blazing Angels 2 Secret Missions of WWII" game. I had asked to have it removed since I had marked as received by mistake.

Sure. I imagine you still have the support ticket? Just screenshot that as proof and post in the giveaway :D. I think you'll be in the minority for this exception.

Happened to me too. I won A Valley Without Wind from someone back when there was a keygen exploit for the game. All giveaways got deleted, including ones that had ended already.

While a valid thought, I personally wouldn't risk being banned just to win a game. But, that's me. I'll make sure to do some sleuthing on the winner for sure for this reason and all the others.

If they did that you could always check if the game is already redeemed into their account or not. Otherwise its the owner of the original giveaway to contact support about it.

Possibly, but they'd be pretty stupid to try that one.

Their Steamgifts sync records would give the game away, and I suspect (and hope) skullduggery like that would end in a permaban.

Nice idea, do you have the rules approved by support?

Bah humbug Mr. Scrooge I forgot that part :P. I'll submit a ticket right now. Plenty of time on the giveaway.

You should never forget about that ;) many people forget that and then can't reroll. Once another one forgot that and someone from support posted that he have to delete the giveaway and make a new one. I hope that won't happen with you ;)

Meh if I have to delete it and remake I will. Plenty of time, just headache. Ticket is submitted so we'll see. I always forget that it's all giveaways, not just public ones.

I won Red Faction Armageddon, and the guy sent me the key, but it was a Polish key so it didn't work here in the states. The mods just deleted the whole giveaway so there is no record of it now. It doesn't matter though because I don't have that high of a contributor value and the humble THQ bundle made it all better :)
