PLEASE only enter if you're in one of the countries listed. I set this up as an invite only because I don't want someone to win a game they can't play (which is how I got it). I don't know what to do with it and I can't put it in a standard GA so I'm puttin' it here.

Time for updating SG rules? I mean with steam implementing regio-locks, maybe invite only ga can be allowed.

Just a thought.

I am having a hard time searching for it, but there is a discussion made by cg that involves this very thing about region locking.
Something about maybe implementing giveaways for regions, now that it is such an issue.
I cannot find it now.

Also, I hope this isn't the same copy as you won. That would get u banned for regifting.

It can't be, since he activated the copy he won, accordingly with the rules.

Oh, wait.

Well, I tried to, yes. It's just sitting in my inventory and has been for a while.

If the creator of the giveaway didn't provide you win a region-free game, you must give it back and mark as "not received".

Look, I know for both of these. I won the game way back and it's been sitting around for ages. I've closed the GA because I don't want to get banned for this. Let's do this more simply: who wants the damn thing?

Mark the giveaway as "not received" since the person provided you with a region-locked copy.

How can I activate my game if it's region locked? You guys are making it sound like I'm a bad guy for winning a game I can't use.

Lol doesn't matter mate. Better hold on to that copy.
Ask ur ga guy to provide a copy which u can use or mark as not received. Also give that copy back to him.

Now here's what you should do :

  1. Mark the giveaway as "not received" since the person provided you with a region-locked copy.
  2. Return the gift to the creator of the giveaway.
  3. Buy a region-free Larva Mortus for your winner or delete your giveaway.

At least you're doing it in a private GA and informing up front. Had a giveaway that was public for a region locked game and the creator made no mention of the fact. Didn't find out until it was too late....

OK, I've sent the game back to the original owner and marked it as not received. Though a region-locked option for giveaways would be great. I'm closing the topic because there's nothing left to discuss. Thanks guys, now I know what to do if I win a region-locked gift.
