I'm sure I don't need to tell you guys this, but just a friendly reminder.

Anyone who attempts to regift / trade Galactic Arms Race will be suspended with extreme prejudice. This includes: Creating forum threads or support tickets about why Galactic Arms Race is not in the dropdown list, creating giveaways under Galactic Bowling or Galactic Civilizations etc. for giving away Galactic Arms Race, attempting to trade away Galactic Arms Race on other sites, creating a topic on SteamTrades about trading Galactic Arms Race away, and other similar actions.

Have fun! <3

Edit:
If you come across trades and other offenses, let us know by creating and sending in a support ticket. Makes our job easier, and you won't be accidentally suspended for calling out!

On the bright side of things, anyone that abuses this to take the game from someone who could have enjoyed it will be cast into oblivion, preventing them from continuing their practice with the regular giveaways. Make ready my ship, General. The cannons are loaded~

It's still greenlit so it's not officially released.

No, it has the steam backend already, so they have keys. Now they are just trying to green light to be on the store.

Isn't that essentially the same thing? ._.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

ehh, sorta. A game can be activatable on steam, but not be sold on steam. (I don't know of any other examples, but yeah) this game has an interesting legal point (as they mentioned in the giveaway) so they have the steam backend all set up, but it is not sold on the store. If they get greenlit, they will be sold on the store.

There are a few games like this. "Prey" comes to mind, as people can have it on Steam, and old unused keys for it still work, but you can't buy it.

So does this includes purchase of the keys from Desura for purpose of trading? They are $5.. o,o'

1 decade ago

It's just the steam keys won here because regifting is against the rules. Make sure to state it's a desura key and you'll be fine.

Nah, you get a steam key when you buy from desura too

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Ah, did not know that. In that case just make sure you have proof of purchase available if anyone decides to accuse you.

EDIT: Annnddd I just read cross's comment below. Probably good to follow his advice. Hold off on trading it for a while.

At this point, yes. Refrain from trading GAR right now to prevent accidental suspensions. And as Damien1P said, indicating that it's a Desura key will do you good if you want to trade GAR in the future.

If you can't activate your key, send in a support ticket about your issue, and the site admin will handle it when he has the time.

You can't buy copies on Steam at this moment. You're free to do that after it hits the Steam store.

I see, but that doesn't mean you can buy it on Steam.
If it's not in the dropdown list, you can't gift it.

ah, ok. You can't make a giveaway for it, makes sense!

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

You can't buy Steam copies yet, only Desura, the only way to get a Steam copy is to win it from this giveaway -- ergo, if you try to gift a Steam copy it's a regift or a win from a dupe/alt account.

except desura version uses steam so a trade for "gar on steam" could be that, but just because they used the slightly wrong words somebody reports here and a steamgifts username that may or may not belong to the same user gets banned.
