In reality, you shouldn't create anything since it'll most likely be removed within a few hours, but if you're stupid enough to try, at least do it right!

The key that is being given away from Alienware Arena is for the Digital Extras.

^This.

But also, some people are saying that even the Digital Extras is INCORRECT...that what AA is giving away is NOT sold on Steam.

I thought you are not allowed to giveaway free keys unless you do in the forum for free to grab not for cv?

Correct

There's no hardfast rule on that. It usually depends on HOW MANY free keys are given. Since this was 10K keys, then yes, it should be removed from the giveaway list.

If I remember correctly there IS one about Free Games, Betas, etc... I'd have to look real quick though.

Betas are not allowed, but for key giveaways it depends on the number of keys given. If only 100 keys were available, then giveaways would be deemed okay because the majority of SG would not have been able to grab one. But when it's 10K, then most members can grab one for free themselves, not to mention that because it's DLC, there's probably only a couple hundred people that can actually enter to begin with.

Suspend all people who crate giveaways with this, especially if they have more than one giveaway, who's with me?

creating 1 is normally fine, creating more than 1 will lead to as suspension if the users are reported.

but maybe cg will remove all of them eventually

I hate anybody who gives away "Sniper Ghost Warrior 2: Digital Extras" ! Its a free key for the people who owns the game. Let them grab the keys without entering a giveaway. Fucking CV hunters. You won't get any CV for that!

My personal rule about giving away free keys: Grab some keys, hold on to them. Wait for the giveaway to be over. Then give them out on steam gifts. This gives people an opportunity to snatch up the keys so they can get them and also gives people that were too late to get the free keys the chance to win them on steamgifts. Steamgifts is supposed to be about being kind to others, not raising your CV. I grabbed extra keys, but I will hold on to them until the deal is over and no one can get them anymore. I mostly just got some for those getting errors/too late to get the keys.

If a steamgifts mod sees this, please add the following rule to the list concerning free keys:
Keys obtained from free giveaways (promotions, etc.) may only be listed as giveaways when the keys are no longer available from the source.
Rewrite this to make it sound more professional and please don't ban me when I put the code up after the deal is over.

Isn't it kinder, especially in a giveaway like this, where there are a limited number of keys, just to take one for yourself, so that other people get a chance at grabbing one before they run out?

This tactic doesn't strike me as much better than the CV farmers who, after all, are fairly limited in the amount of contributor value they can farm from exploited keys...
