So I received an almost three-year-old win today...

Well, that was a pretty damn strange situation, glad you got your copy after three years! And many thanks for the key drop, it is surely a smart way to stop it from being ninja'd!

Better late than never, eh? :P
It was nice of him to send that out even after all that time.

nice gesture from he :p

In one way he's only doing what he should have done in the first place. If he had sent it 3 years ago there would be no thread and nobody would have cared.

Even taking the above into account I can't help but feel that this was brilliant! It's weird like that. Maybe I should keep my gifts from winners for a long time in the future too, just so they're more happy when I send them? :p

Is this story for real? Or did you only make it up to have a place to drop your gift?

Heh, another proof that there´s still people not living on the internets :p

Wow, that's cool. :P

Better late then never.

One guy tried to give away a game he had in his library and I've won it, told that he could fix that "not received" anytime by resending a real key or a gift , he nodded and left this SG world...

Wow that's an incredibly uplifting story! Faith in humanity restored! Maybe I'll get my Skyrim game a few years from now =D

Reminds me a bit of this:

Guy who borrowed a library book and it was eventually returned 288 years later.

It's definitely better than finally getting a call from that one-night-stand you gave your number to...9 months ago...something about a baby,...

I have won Depth once. But it turned out gifter was tried to gift it from his own library. He tought, i bought this, played a little but i didn`t like it, so give it away ! :) So i have never received it :)

It's a SteamGifts miracle!

A little sad they took so long, but at least they had the decency to EVENTUALLY deliver on the win. Congrats.

so nice <3

pity you didn't get the deluxe edition, the extras are worth the additional price.

Wow I said (113), this is a great surprise and a nice gesture

I have the personal opinion that it is a better gesture delivering it on time, even if it is not as "amusing".
