...especially the even greedier ones listing it as the Collector's Bundle for 30P. :(

Too much of a "coincidence" for me. SG support might have to give the benefit of the doubt, but I don't.

Not if you take into accoutn what i wrote. if id had a collectors one that was meant for myself and id get a free base game id give the collectors away, simple becuase I dont need the dlc stuff. so thats why automatically assuming everyone give the free key hidden was collectors is not okay.
edit: and ofc it must be AFTER the game is given free otherwise you wouldnt know you can get it for free and have no need for the collectors. Clearly what i wrote is a rare case and might happen in reality rarely. but still you damage honest people too with auto assuming stuff that you dont know

I don't "damage" anyone by blacklisting a few probable-asshats and not giving them any games.
Comment has been collapsed.
well if you dont read what i write then do what you want. i gave you a example how you could blacklist your way someone who has nothing done wrong. theres sure other examples you could think off where your blacklist would damage someone who doesnt has anything done wrong.

if theres only 1 who makes a ga for a collectors that is actually a collectors edition in the whole time the free keys are available you are already wrong. even if not you are still wrong since the chance always exists. its up to you to see everything only in black and white.
my opinion still is that a blacklist on assumptions is silly.

It's not a matter or reading anything you wrote. I had already taken that into consideration, and concluded that the greater good is served by blacklisting them all.

But will blacklisting it also blacklist the DLC? Because I'd like to see lots of giveaways for the DLC now that the base game is free (for a limited time)

Tropico will be removed from SG, the base game
You won't be able to create GAs for this title
Maybe, if devs will (maybe never) change the way this site is working, you'll be able to create gibs for titles marked as free for 0P, but for now, those titles are simply removed/disbled
as for DLC and some complete bundles / GotYs / Golds etc - those will still be available

Well, there were indeed a bunch of GAs for the DLC... but almost all of them have turned out to be cheating.
Comment has been collapsed.
Two still open, but all others I was watching have turned out to be scammy. (AFAIK, talgaby's troll GA is the only one that wasn't.)

Really? I haven't seen any, and I've been specifically monitoring a bunch of them. Lots of deletions, a couple of suspensions, and two still open, is all I see. (I'm talking about the DLC listings.)

I just did a quick search on the DLC. The first two non-deleted public ones are marked as received by the winners. After that, some giveaways with non-received and one still waiting.
Keep in mind that the DLC itself had a really good price on HB, especially for monthly subs. :) It was easy and cheap to grab one to mingle among the other DLC giveaways a little.

Yep.. I just won my first ever giveaway for this game. Didn't know that it was free :(

Well it reallyreally annoys me..:/ But luckely an unnamed hero helped me out <3

I don't know what that does but I got a lot of very kind people replying to my post so already feeling better just from that :D

It's an awesome game, so I guess that everyone loves giving it away. :P

well, it should be BL only until end of event + 7 days, since key wont be redeemable in future
But it probably need to be BL right now
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually, it is clearly explained on claimed page where you get the key.
Enjoy your free order of Tropico 4!
Note: You must redeem your free Tropico 4 key by 10AM Pacific on Saturday, September 17, 2016! Immediately after 10AM Pacific on September 17, the code will magically vanish as if it were just a figment of your imagination, leaving this cryptic message behind in its wake.

"the code will magically vanish as if it were just a figment of your imagination, leaving this cryptic message behind in its wake."
that could only mean that it wont be showed anymore on the page like other free keys they had. they where still redeemable.
Especially the vanish would fit there. so if you note / copy it it could still be valid even if not more shown.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, but it is repeated in red in a more explicite way as well.
The redemption deadline is September 17th, 2016 at 10:00 AM Pacific. You have 8 days left!
Comment has been collapsed.
No, they won't revoke the keys. This happened before with a Humble giveaway, and what they meant was that you had to click on the redeem link on the Humble page and record or write down that key somewhere, before they removed the page. It did not mean that an unused key would be revoked.
Comment has been collapsed.
OK, was that language there before, or did they just add it? Anyway, since they clarified things that way, then it must mean that they do expire. Previously, the whole "...vanishing..." language they had up had been used in the past, and it simply meant that the reveal key page would be removed, not that the keys would literally expire. I guess things do change. Humble has often done a very poor job with being clear about it's language use and phrasing, and someone seems to have finally gotten a clue.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, things change. Bundle Stars had recently a small fiasco, where a dev managed to revoke all unused keys of a game: anyone who activated it kept it, but keys not consumed yet were rendered useless. So it is definitely a possibility for a publisher now.

It's being given away free in large quantities by Humble Bundle. It's no coincidence that there are a lot of GAs for it right now.
