Yes. Happened to me once a while back. But then I saw my game on cheap so I bought it.

Marked them as not received and left a message for both GA creators. One didn't even bother to respond and the other one offered a different game and asked to have the GA removed. I didn't accept the game and agreed for the GA to be removed.

I haven't received the wrong game but have accidentally sent the wrong game a couple of times.

Perfect opportunity for a poll , better skip it. Nothing poll related, always potatoes.
Never happened to me.

Would be tricky announce the GA as Bad Rats and giving some AAA hehehe, or the opposite.

No, but I just found two people who did by accident, due to a really strange case with a Steam game and another product of the same name but different appID.

it can happen sometimes, when someone creates multiple giveaways, when sending them to the winners, he maybe send the wrong game to the wrong winner...

GA: Skyrim

no, but I have provided the incorrect key in the past. It was a typo when making the giveaway. I went to a trader to get a key for the game i accidentally gave away and the giveaway winner got a bonus key got a game they may not have wanted.

Yes. I was fairly new to the site and GA creator said he couldn't find the key for the GA he made, so he gave me a key for another game. I didn't want the game but I didn't want to put a knock on his account over a mistake, so I took the other key to appease him.
Didn't realise it was a problem until I got a suspension for not activating the game I 'won'. Luckily I never used the key for the other game so I asked him to delete the GA, and gave him back the key.
Played myself that day.

I did not, but I have received wrong game when trading. I wanted Among the Sleep, got Pillars of Eternity. It was not a good day for that person to say the least.

So you like SG gossips ?
Here is mine ;-)
Yes I have already received a wrong key.
But I had just won the game for this wrong key, so Steam client notified me I was already owning game (without displaying game name) for key I was trying to redeem... so I thought on that moment I had forgotten to give feedback... and I then did give received feedback on SG.
Later, I was denied from entering a ga for non-activated game... and I got by or I contacted the gifter who said me he switched keys with another GAs.
Case was then solved. He gave me the right key.
Hopefully for him, I was already owning (just for some hours actually) the game corresponding to the wrong key.

Had that once. Entered GA for one game, got a key for another that was given away free before.
Wasn't able to establish contact with the giver to set the record straight, so he/she got to carry a Not Received mark around...
(And at least the key I got wasn't some shitty Digital Homicide-level crap)

I haven't, but I always have this irrational fear that I typed the wrong key on my giveaway, I don't know what I would do if one of these days I mix up a few keys D:

I gave away a dup key. But fixed that error and gave the winner another working one. It's now "Received" Status

Yes, 2 weeks ago I entered on Particulars and received Particula. I have tried to fix it but the creator says me to mark as not received and that's what i did.

Once, i received a key for other game due to a duplication of keys in the giveaways (creator puts the same key in two giveaways by mistake). As I already had the game the key was unused and the givea way creator gave me the correct key and the other winner had no problems (as far as I know).

If you mark as Received you will be banned for "no activate game on steam profile" for 3 days :D Hello cruel world

Not exactly. I did once activate my own key during a trade by accident, and it was a game I was totally not interested in. I bought the trader a copy of the game on steam. Expensive trade though :(

Hey!
Never happened to me, but i've giveaway a key that already used and managed to fix, and received a dup and it has been fixed aswell.
But, i'd like to know if it happened to someone, and what game you received instead the one that you entered for win!
Thank you, cute!
