TL;DR THIS GIVEAWAY HAS SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS. I WILL KEEP A TALLY OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ENTER BUT DON'T QUALIFY ON MY COUNTER OF SHAME

It's me again, and this time I'm giving away a copy of the The Binding of Isaac summer sale 2012 collection. This includes the base game, the soundtrack, and the The Wrath of the Lamb DLC. Special thanks to cg for being awesome and re-adding the entry to the giveaway dropdown so I could create it!

THE RULES

These are important. Not following these rules will cause you to get all excited that you won, and then you'll be disappointed when I inform you that I'm rerolling. I will also keep a running total on my counter of shame on the giveaway page. I will not, however, list your name, as that counts as calling out and I'd get banned for three lifetimes.

Please read these rules. If you do not understand them, ask me in the comments and I will try and explain better.

Rule #1:

No abusing split-up bundle keys before the rule change. If you abused bundle keys, you can expect a reroll. The giveaway page goes into more detail about what counts as "abuse". Giving away whole bundles as giftable URL copies is just fine, of course. Giveaways AFTER the rule change will not be counted against you.

Rule #2:

No abusing exploited keys like Guns of Icarus Online beta keys, Saints Row 3 vehicle DLCs, etc. Again, the giveaway page goes into more detail about how this will be counted. Basically, don't break the SteamGifts rules.

Rule #3:

This is the big one. YOU MUST HAVE NOT WON ANY GIVEAWAYS. This is for people who haven't won anything yet. Note that if you have won a giveaway that was a developer giveaway for 100 or more keys (for example, Faerie Solitaire), this will not count against you and you may enter. Only developer giveaways of 100+ copies or more count, however, not all developer-created giveaways. You do not need to ask my permission to enter the giveaway if the only thing you've ever won is Dwarfs?! from the big 2000-copy giveaway by Dudler about three weeks back. The giveaway is, in all caps for the five characters, at giveaway slash queue one vee eff eight. Please do not help anyone who asks for the link in the comments, it's their fault for not reading.

If you won one or more fake giveaways as your only win(s) (the exceptions for Faerie Solitaire/etc. still apply), if the gift is marked Not Received this will count as 0 wins for this giveaway.

Here is what does NOT affect your eligiblity to enter: Contribution value, number of giveaways entered, NUMBER OF COMMENTS, age of your account, number of gifts made, or shoe size. I listened to all of the feedback regarding my last giveaway which enforced a minimum level of comment activity, and while it did fairly well at encouraging users who contributed frequently, it did exclude some legitimate non-spammy users, and I did feel bad about that.

One last thing: These conditions have been preapproved by Support and are not negotiable. Please do not ask me if you qualify. You either have no wins (excluding huge giveaways like Faerie Solitaire), or you do. If you have legitimately bought games that are in bundles, you don't need to tell me. If you have wins, but they're fakes, don't tell me, just enter. I will be able to tell. If you win, and I have doubts as to whether you qualify or not, I will make contact with you then and we'll sort this out. Please don't spam up the forum thread by asking.

I will not answer questions about eligibility unless it is a particularly unusual case.

Good luck, everyone! This giveaway ends at midnight Pacific Time (GMT-0700), August 14.

YOU MAY SHARE THIS FORUM POST ONLY WITH ANYONE ON STEAMGIFTS. YOU MAY NOT SHARE THE GIVEAWAY LINK WITH ANYONE.

I think most ppl don't qualify because of this one: "YOU MUST HAVE NOT WON ANY GIVEAWAYS"

Yep, that's likely the case, but that's why I'm making the giveaway for no-win people, too. And so far, knock on wood, the counter of shame stands at 0. Everyone who's entered so far qualifies. This pleases me.

but with you telling me not to help them in comments, that would make it seems as though the giveaway is indeed in the source code.

Hey, if they figure it out by reading the source code, that's good enough for me. However, at least one poor fool tried that and still couldn't find it, so I have no fear of viewing source.

Good idea, make giveaways for people who won nothing, like contributor or private/group giveaways. This must be new option on SG.

cg's actually considering something a little similar, but not exactly for people with 0 wins, but the most unlucky people on SG.

I have a copy of the DLC separately, I might give it away (or use it myself--but I still haven't completed the achievements for the base game). :D

Is Binding of Issac fun?

Comment has been collapsed.

It's a challenge, but if you like a challenge, yes. You basically get thrown into a NES-Legend of Zelda (the first one) style dungeon, but it's randomly-generated every time. Everything is random: The items the game gives you, which rooms contain minibosses, and the entire layout of the map including secret passages behind walls. The only general things that stay constant is that there is a set path for how you will go from one dungeon tileset to another (you always start in the basement, then the caves, then the depths, etc.) and the level boss you need to fight to leave the floor (although there are sometimes alternate conditions).

However, if this appeals to you, it has replayability, because it has multiple endings (over nine), but you can generally unlock them only one at a time (meaning, ending 1 opens up the conditions to achieve ending 2, ending 2 opens up the conditions to get ending 3, etc.) and it takes some dedication and practice to get through the later dungeon maps.

Ehh... I qualify. But I already own the game and the OST from HIB. And entering just for the DLC seems a bit unfair, so I guess, I'm skipping this one.
Thank you for this anyway.
