Rules Question

Rough question, well the winner can't do anything with that key other than trading or regifting it. Don't think you should give it to the winner imo. Don't know.

That's a real conundrum.

Since I can't give you an answer with 100% certainty, I'd recommend sending a ticket to the "Other" category to SG support and ask them (or perhaps one will reply here).

Technically, you promised to deliver the full game in the giveaway, and you so far gave only a part of it. The question of wether the winner owned other parts is irrelevant, since you allowed them to enter.

Technically, you can put up another giveaway since the winner has the promised product on account. But in a real-world scenario, you would need to give the key to the base game so the new owner can decide what to do with it. most just give it to someone on their friend list.

You wrote in giveaway this "If you are entering just for DLC, tell me which keys you won't need. Then I'll have to check on the legality of giving the "extras" away again, though I'm sure someone will inform me." So I think you can keep the base game key and create another giveaway for it.

I think your mistake was to make it a single giveaway instead of 4 separate ones (if that's possible). You should probably open a ticket and ask mods for help.

if you make a ga for a complete package, you need to deliver everything in it.
since you allowed people to enter only for the dlc, it sounds like you are trying to get more cv out of a giveaway by keeping the base game for later.

unless the winner tells you he doesn't want the base key and you are free to keep it, you should give the winner everything in a pack.

You should have asked such question before that giveaway. When you allow people to enter only for DLC and you give away separate keys and no "complete pack", you should have seen this coming.

You're good. In my opinion you acted according to SG rules and are free to do with the extra keys as you please.

So, basically, you guys collectively aren't sure either.

If a mod doesn't see this, I'll put in a ticket to ask.

it basically goes like mully said.

"if you make a ga for a complete package, you need to deliver everything in it."

If the winner insists on the key, they're engaging in win/CV exploitation. If you repost the key, you're engaging in CV exploitation twice over, once for inflated initial value and once for the bonus giveaway.

Attempt to arrange an accord with the winner- so long as the winner has all the necessary APPIDs, and neither of you are engaged in obvious exploitation, staff is highly unlikely to care what the end result is. Alternatively, give the remaining key away for free to a third party, in a manner that makes the transition of ownership readily apparent. Then, all keys will have been delivered, and neither winner or creator will have engaged in exploitation- that's the cleanest solution.

If you and the winner are in dispute, then you'd have to make a ticket regardless- so you should certainly do that, if you can't manage to reach an arrangement with the winner.
