Always fun with first time gifters

He's probably in a hurry to get CV to enter a giveaway that's ending soon.
Tell him to mail you the key/gift/whatever.

I think this thread is more rude than him sending you a chat message. He is impatient which can be anoying, but is not rude. He is also not rude because you live somewhere else, you merely implying that.

All in all, its not calling out. We just wait until you receive the gift and we know who it was. No harm done? Maybe.

Given what little activity his profile shows, I'm assuming he was unable to join two years ago. Check his stats, I'm sure you will see he only used the site recently.

What he SHOULD do, and you should suggest to him, is to just send the key as an offline chat message. That way you get it soon as you come on. Easy.

Have him send it through email.

Should have removed the avatar too.

This is why I always gift via Email. It's fast, and since I state it in each give-away that I will email it, they are surely going to check it fast, and then be done with it. Instead of having to hunt them for days and going trough all that mess.

In Steamgifts, the recipients are the kings, which is the hidden rule.

So I don't even need to read the whole story to conclude that the gifter is on the wrong this time. And he is even more guilty for giving away a bundled game, another taboo in Steamgifts.

Getting bundled is like getting AIDS. No matter how respectable you were, once bundled / infected, you will be somehow discriminated.
