A query regarding GA keys to games you bought but the game became free later.....

I have 4 unused keys of the same from some bundles I bought. This game must be the most bundled one ever TBH. Then a popular game site Indiegala gave it away free later. I had saved the bundle keys to trade.Now I guess its pointless so I think I can giveaway those. Is it OK if I GA those keys? I am afraid people may think its the free keys and not bundle keys but those unused keys are off paid superbundles at DIG. Will I be violating rules?

If a game is given away free it normally gets removed from the GA-list so even if you got the keys from a bundle (or if it was a steamgift instead) you won't be able to create a GA for it. You can however drop them in the forums or gift them to some of your friends. ;)
Edit: Yup, Chip has already been removed from the list. I assume that's the game you ment.

Taken off the list as well. You could still hold on to them for trading and throw them in as a bonus. However you should be upfront that the game (but not your keys) have been given away for free otherwise people will think you are a scammer.
You can check very easily by trying to create a GA for it. If it's not on the list it's normally because it was free at some point.

Yeah it's a bummer when that happens. I've had 3 of my keys I had on my tradelist become freebies. What I do now is only run private giveaways in the forums and I drop one of the freebie keys in the description of the GA as an extra. I move letters and numbers around (with instructions of course!) so that hopefully a real person gets it and not a bot!
