I got "gwfsW" literally the first thing I tried. Since it didn't work I started to test many more things, like indexing your thread here, reverse indexing, trying to index with spaces, zero-based indexing and other stuff, also indexing alphabet, using hex encoding for good measure etc. Obviously didn't get the part about casing. Probably I should've tried bruteforcing the casing on that first thing I got, merely 32 cases. Also I think I tried to search description online.. One would think they were more prevalent. The store page I don't see in English so that didn't help my case.
Anyway, so nice and generous of you to post all the giveaways and again, good luck on your future endeavors!

I have tried tnurW, eeroW, gwfsW...Since gwfsW didn't work, so I passed it and thought about other ways like reverse the string then count it. Count THIS thread, the 1st paragraph , the 2nd one, then reverse it etc.
I used editor to do the counting and string manipulation which saved a lot of time, that's the only thing comfort to me.

Yeah I wanted to be smart about it too, I used some simple Python scripts to get rid of not c.isalpha() characters and simply indexed what was left (though I tried not removing spaces, too).
I feel your pain. I acknowledge though that it was something I shoulda/coulda figured out. Especially that gwfsW made so much sense. I understand what was troubling to me though and I guess lesson learned.

I figured that was a stumbling block for the majority of people. I was just trying to be subtle. I wasn't even going to leak any sort of details about a puzzle except the Fortix picutre, however I felt badly that noone was figuring it out (minus one or two dedicated puzzle robots).

Well, I was recently given a promotion and substantial raise at my job, so what better way than pass on the good karma than to a community based on giving and altruism. I ended up losing my job due to illness, right as the US economy started to collapse, and with a little luck and hard work, managed to claw my way back to where I am today. So for those who may be in a similar position, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
However, now with additional responsibilities at my occupation, as well as work specific classes on top of my current pursuit of my bachelors degree, I am left with very little time to game, and for this site. So I must abandon my quest to finally win that ever elusive Fortix. Wait.. what? Anyways, I figured I would clean out my inventory with the hopes it will find a new home where it can be enjoyed.

To those that keep this site going with their generosity, time, and skillset: I salute you. Keep doing what you are doing.
SOLUTION
Each giveaway description consisted on some information cut and pasted from the steam store page. I added a little tid bit at the end with some allusion to something high or low. There was also a number at the end.
The number signified the position of the letter in the description. So the number 1 would be the first letter.
If I alluded to something being high, above, etc., that signified that the letter was uppercase.
The order of the giveaways was the order of the letter in the giveaway URL.
Voila
Grats to all who won something.
