Ended! Keys have been sent out.

Keeping track of all the users that
have done something which would put them on my blacklist IS WAY TOO HARD! It would be
lovely if some of you could give me a reason why I should add you to my blacklist. I currently only have
7 SG users on it. That is not enough obviously!
Please give me valid reasons only...
xarabas is the perfect example of a SG user that I have on my blacklist!
Can you believe that the guy is still allowed to use this site? The support told me he has been reported
0 (!!!!) times so far! None of you reported him! I'm utterly disappointed...

Update: It's now easier to get on my blacklist. ;) (slightly, just a tiny bit, you can ask for more help)

More hints:
Q1: -per (Read the hint on the puzzle page first)
Q1: Here, have the original image that you can compare the file details to. (What has changed? ;) )
Q1: Try to open the image with a program that fits the previous hints and the contents of the image.
Q2: Look for where the image was taken from.
Q3: The answer is hidden in the image. (Edit: The answer only contains numbers, since someone who solved it had problems with that.)
Q3: It's hidden in one of the two black sections of the image.
Q4: You will find the bottom right image if you follow the other 2.
Q5: The answer is the name of the game that you have to find.

NO NEW HINTS WILL BE GIVEN! Good luck! :)

Solution:

  1. http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/Khl7PxC0 The first letter or number of each line in my blacklist text.

Question 1:
Download the image and open it with a program like 7-Zip.
A .zip file with a text document that contains the answer is hidden in the image.

Question 2:
You just had to name the game! (Shogun: Total War or Shogun Total War)
You could have used the "search by image" feature in Google that pops up when you search for the image URL.

Question 3:
A secret code has been hidden in the image.
You have to use a program like Photoshop or even online image editors like sumopaint work.
In sumopaint (mentioning this one since it is free) you can open the image and applying "Adjustments -> Equalize Tones" already shows the code.
Example
You can ofc. try different ways to be able to better read the code.

Question 4:
The answer is "Comatosed".
You have to go to Steam -> My profile -> It's my featured badge.

Question 5:
The answer is "Mortal Kombat X".
http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/jc8iu/ The discussion id is in the top left of the image.
It leads you to the train that I recently created.
Mortal Kombat X is the second game in the train. (bottom right: 2nd)

Bump for still stuck at 1. Can't believe so many people solved 1 and stuck on others, which are pretty simple. Feeling like I am missing something very simple...

Nevermind, I'm dumb. Solved Q1, only Q2 left which is kinda silly considering the hint says it's the easiest :p

If it doesn't work you must have either done something wrong or maybe you misspelled the answer.
23 already solved the puzzle, so it definitely works.

I'll think about it. Quite a few were able to solve it by now and the giveaways are still running for a while.
I'll answer to your post if I add a new hint, so you'll get a notification.

Thank you everyone who participated.
The keys have been sent out!
Congratulatios Niklasch, you've won The Evil Within.
perrolijo has won Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, which is awesome as he's the first one who solved the puzzle!
I think 9 solvers (have to check again) didn't need any hints and I might contact you for a private giveaway or two in the future.
