Not happy with a winner?

In the first two examples, you can report him to Steam for having an offensive profile and probably get a reroll; on third example, no dice, you're obligated to give the game or cop a 'not received' (some people would rather have a 'not received' though).

If you're worried about the quality of the recipient, you should look for some private groups to join.

I don't know mate, but I agree with you not giving it out to the wiener.

If you want to pre-qualify who can or can't win, don't make public giveaways; then you can do re-rolls.

You're in the right. Fuck kids like that.

I think you would still be obligated to give the game. Just because you are obligated, doesn't mean you can't live with a "not received" mark though. I know several people whom I would never give a game to.

That's on Steam's end though, not on SG. You could report them to Valve for breaking Steam ToS if the name or avatar are offensive. You might get a reroll or not, but there's no one forcing you to gift it, you'd just get a 'not received' if support disagrees.

Haha, how bitchy can a person get? It's a game giveaway; a person gets a game they didn't have, you get a warm fuzzy-- GG. You don't like them personally? Get over yourself, people iz people. Sure, some are assholes, but does it really matter in the long run? It's life, enjoy.

When such a case happens, contact support and we'll discuss whether a reroll is applicable or not.

swastika shouldnt be extreme case like u say :p, it was used much before that it become unpopular for blessings and things like that.

I would like to make different question in the same argument.

If I create a private giveαway (no group related) and post the link here in the forums, can I then re-roll the giveaway for any (or none) reason? Can I impose a personal rule?

Had something like this on two public giveaways, longer time ago...i gave them the game but i didnt feeld good...was only bundle games but thats one of the reason i make mostly no public giveaways anymore...

Way I see it, a public giveaway means you don't want the game and you're throwing it out into the ether for anyone to grab. Doesn't matter who. You can set a CV barrier or a Steam group if you want to limit the audience. I've rolled winners who looked suspicious. I shrugged and sent the gift anyway. Never got a swastika avatar or a hateful username before. I doubt it would really bother me, though. I don't care for people like that, but rules are rules and if the RNG says they won, they won and my part's to just send the game along.

I've looked at the re-roll option and I had no idea what all it did. Didn't know you had to go through support. I just figured it was an automatic re-roll. The more you know, and all that...

A neat improvement to the site might have comments required to enter. Then in the description you can ask for a certain statement to be made. For example you might require them to say, "I support equal rights for people regardless of how they were made" or something like it, and anyone who just says thanks, you'd delete the comment. No comment, no entry, means when the winner is rolled, it's only from approved comments. This would take time and be subject to snipers, though.

Your arguments sound really childish. "He has swastika or offensive name" - well, let's not giving away to people we don't know and we don't like, close our eyes that this site has rules and people have equal rights to win a game no matter how bad they are. You know, this thing makes you sound like a douche. Time to grow up and understand that you have to do some things no matter how much you like it or don't.
