The gifter will contact you - usually on Steam or gift directly to you. Keep an eye on your email but if they gift directly through Steam you will receive a notification stating someone has gifted you a game. They have a week to send you the gift before you can report it as fake - but let us assume, for now, that it is genuine.

The site doesn't send the gifts, as the giveaways are created by users, so you need to wait for the gifter to send you the gift. You can report it, but the gifter has a week to send you the gift as per the site rules.

How does it works? He have to buy the game like a gift? He can't give the game that he owns?

Link dosn't work.

Correct, you must have the game in your inventory/extra copies list to be able to give the game away.

Once a game is owned and attached to an account as playable it cannot be gifted.

Yeah I know, stupid right? Pff, lousy Steam making gifting games so complicated!

I'm joking, of course, there is so much about this thread that is annoying me.

Steam should really have something that pops up when you create a Steam account that tells you any games you download are linked to your account and only your account, and that you can never move them to another account ever.

Oh wait...

I don't think he got one. I'm pretty sure his friend created a private giveaway just for him, which he won of course. And they both expected the site would just automatically generate a free copy for him.

People are apparently endlessly surprised to discover publishers don't randomly give free copies of games to anyone who wants one.

I think this would be avoided if there was a short quiz before a giveaway for new users. Till then, read this BEFORE making a giveaway.
