There was a Facebook giveaway yesterday which gave out a variety of keys, including many for the game Hive. According to the list of games in the giveaway, only the Hive Complete Pack was mentioned, which has led to the assumption that all the keys are for the complete pack - however, the keys are actually a combination of Complete Pack and base game only keys. I had a silly trading experience this morning, in which two people who thought they had the complete pack turned out only to have the base game, and I eventually managed to trade for the complete pack from someone who thought they only had the base game.

I'm not sure what the exact rule is regarding giving away Hive (I'd guess that it wasn't a large enough giveaway for it to be removed from the giveaway list), but if you're going to do it, do it as 'Hive', not as 'Hive Complete Pack'. That way, if it turns out to be the complete pack, your winner gets a nice little extra, while if you do it the other way around, the winner will be expected to mark your giveaway as not received because of the missing DLCs.

If you're going to trade your Hive key from the giveaway, then add a little warning next to it that it may be either the base game or the complete pack, plan for either eventuality, and be prepared to go first in a trade that involves it.

Not enough to warrant being removed.
