Joined less than a week ago and put up dirt 3 for my first giveaway. Mixed up the code with one i had for Humble indie bundle #3.

Both guys redeemed the wrong codes i sent by mistake (because steam has no check key feature).
So now my friend got a copy of dirt 3, while the winner of my giveaway who was expecting dirt 3 got the indie bundle.

I cant get another copy of dirt 3 for the winner, and steam support basically said "tough luck".

He got 4/5 games instead of one average one. Either way, tough luck.

I wouldn't worry about it. Things happen. Poor guy that got the shaft might whine and complain for a while. And you will be stuck with that -1 on your feedback forever, but I sincerely doubt that -1 will make any difference when you go to giveaway a game again. I know I would still enter your giveaways. :)

Ultimately, invid01, you are at fault. Not much, but still. So long as you realize that, and strive to avoid mixing up game keys (still confused about that, but not much), then you're fine. Wouldn't want it happening to you, right?

Honestly, I would keep pestering steam support. You might eventually get someone reasonable.
