If you won the giveaway and you were in a region locked country, try activating your key NOW! Mine worked!

Probably Raptr reached out to Valve or something like that to unlock the codes. They did say "If you're having region lock probs with today's Dead Island reward - we're on the case and will update you via your Raptr email addy. ...until then, hold on to your codes. Thanks for your patience and understanding!" via Twitter. I doubt we will have any problems with our accounts. And from what i saw when i activated mine it was showing (RO/ROW) or something likethat ( i clicked the next tab way too qickly from excitment :D ).

Actually mine still said NA/ROW when I activated... it's weird though that Raptr hasn't said anything yet about managing to fix the problem

Nothing weird about it, it was a bug that Valve fixed at their request.

even without the region lock Dead Island is still on the exploited list of keys anyway

Dead Island is, not Dead Island GOTY. The ONLY reason this game was not allowed initially was because it was region locked. Now that it is not there should be no reason not to be able to give it away if someone wants to do so.

Agree - But No option in Create section for GOTY

I'm pretty sure there was a Dead Island keygen that worked on Steam, that's why it was on the exploited list, not because it was region-locked.

Did you even read my post? I clearly said that Dead Island IS exploited but DEAD ISLAND GOTY is NOT. Since the thread is about DEAD ISLAND GOTY, then that is understandably the "this game" referred to in my second sentence.

To make it clear, DEAD ISLAND GOTY was NEVER exploited and was only barred from giveaways because of the region lock.

germany may still be on the restricted list as it has it's own (heavily cut) Dead Island version, so you may need to get it gifted on steam instead if you want it uncut

NA+ROW version is what is says at the moment of activation. I don't know more than that.

Spain activated. And I've seen in forums people from Netherlands, France or Denmark, so I think is common, Maybe the only left is Germany for what Blackroxxx said in this thread.

Now all they need to do is give everyone who couldn't claim the code because their webserver fell over a code too and we'll be happy! ^_^

Yeah, not gonna happen. They had 5000 keys, 5000 keys were sent out. It doesn't matter if you were able to get one because of site errors or not, 5000 people did, and that's how many were meant to get it. Better luck next time!

true but there is no excuse for Raptr not being prepared for this. They knew the turnout it wasn't a surprise and many who earned it never had a chance and not due to their actions. Why putup 27 day counter then?? It was ridiculous imo.

Earning entails jumping through their hoops, checking them in with the site, and then showing up on time to claim the key. If you didn't do that, you didn't earn it.

I fail to see how they need an excuse for not stocking more keys. They were giving that shit away for free.

i agree with u 100% but many people did the above and afterwards were met with server errors on raptrs end and they said its are fault for constantly refreshing the page, lol they don't need to have more keys but a stable system so people dont have this issue again would be nice.

why do you people care so much about a mediocre 5 dollar game? seriously i've seen you people waste hours of your day and frustration over this. you coulda done 1 hours work and bought 4 copies next time it was on sale... and then given them away because the game's not even good.

Can't speak for everyone else, but I was excited for this because it's basically the only way for me to get this game.

Can't buy it on Steam, can't import it, probably couldn't even accept it as a gift if I found a willing dosh proxy.

Not everyone makes 20 dollars an hour first off, second off I HIGHLY doubt people spent hours sending in a note to raptr or posting a couple messages on a board, thirdly the games actually rated pretty decently, so not sure what you are going on about.

Some people....

Holy shit, they released all region locks on it. I activated it here in Germany, uncut, even though Steam doesn't even sell it at all (searching for Dead Island just gives me an error page).

And so quickly too. Didn't expect that, hats off to them.

Although the hordes of entitled dorks bitching at them probably made sure that something like this will never happen again. (This is why we can't have nice things.)

bitching, they have every right to inquire or complain about an item, game, w/e they earned but does not work. So if Raptr decides not to do this it's cause of their screw up not others asking for what they rightfully earned imho.

your point is?? It has nothing to do with my opinion on the matter and regardless they do give u game requirements, such as a specific game or one from a list and u have to play X amount of time. I'm not saying it's unreasonable or wrong, bad, etc... I gave a valid point and had my own opinion. End of story, but thanks for the link even though I am aware of that info.
