Topic kinda says all. For example if I'll win a giveaway, redeem it and few days later buy same game and make giveaway would it count as an offence?

He asks in the title "Is it legal?" and in the post "Is it an offense?", lol... have to specify what you're answering.

That's not the same. He is talking about buying a copy to giveaway.

..... No, of course not. You activated the game that they gave you and then you bought one to return to the community. That is completely fine.

Wait a second. Your topic asks if it is legal and your question asks if it is illegal. So I will say that it is not illegal.

As long as you redeem your win, absolutely nothing wrong with that. You might want to make a NOTE (edit: in the new giveaway) you redeemed your win and that this is an additional copy. That would be a good idea to help keep the mob at bay.

That 'mob' isn't supposed to exist anyways. You're not supposed to call out giveaways on the giveaway. People need to stop doing it to boost their post counts. :)

It may come under some scrutiny but it will easily pass if the game is in your library.

It's fine as long as you have already activated it on your steam library.

Nah, that's fine, so long as you have redeemed it AND added to your library, its ok to buy another and give that one away.

and add a note to the giveaway saying that its a new copy and prolly add a picture of it.
