Thanks for the quick responses :) The game is Alpha Prime, which I noticed it started showing up here recently.

Hmm, I have a Polish version of the game and there is a cdkey printed on a piece of paper. I can't even remember if the game asks for it during installation. It's in the format that's shown on https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601
If I create a giveaway with this key and it turns out it fails to activate... will I get in trouble on steamgifts?

Oh, I see, I thought you said only the UK version came with a cdkey ;)
I think there's a very big possibility it's a valid key, but I'll see if I can check it with someone who has the game already on Steam. Thanks for all the info!

You will have negative feedback (unreceived gift) until you send the winner a working key (if this key you have right now doesn't work)

You will get a negative feedback (gift not received) if the key doesn't work. Unless you'd just outright buy the game (on sale for 1,25€ right now) for the winner if the key didn't work.

Well, Alpha Prime is currently on sale for $1.25 on Steam until Feb. 18, so if you make a giveaway lasting a couple days or less, the worst case scenario is you send the winner your code, he says it doesn't work, and you have to buy a new giftable copy for $1.25 and send that to him. Here's a link to its Steam page for Alpha Prime.

I have an old physical copy of a game - it hasn't been registered on Steam or anywhere else. There's a cdkey inside it... but I would like to make sure it's possible to activate it on Steam (it is available on Steam so I presume its cdkey can be activated too). Is there a way I could verify that? I don't like the game, I don't play it and I don't plan to sell it, so I'd like to gift it... but I wouldn't want to create a failed gift!
Thanks in advance :)
