Some mistake (I'm hoping) happened with a giveaway

Closed

My apologies if this is not the right place or you consider I should rather just report the giveaway, but this could be a little bit hard to explain

I got the winning notification of a Saints Row 3 giveaway yesterday

But the creator was offline, when I logged in today the notification was gone and I couldn't choose to mark as non delivered

What I think happened is that Saints Row 3 is currently on test time for free for 1 day, so the creator of the giveaway probably thought I own the game

Unfortunately, his profile is private so I can comment and I added him yesterday but he removed the add now adding returns an error so I'm assuming he blocked me

is it possible to get him to see this message?

ask support if he requested reroll and if it was accepted, maybe you'll be in backlog

That sucks! You should probably post this under the Support section of the forums, so the admins can see it. Hope your problem gets resolved!

What happened here was the SR3 giveaway ended, and the creator requested a reroll, since the original winners appeared to own the game. You were one of the new winners. However, we then discovered the free SR3 weekend, and how the game is appearing on everyone's profile, so the original winners should have won in the first place. The rerolls were then reversed.

Ugh. Ouch. Given how much complaining people have done about not being able to enter giveaways because of free weekends, (and given that it's pretty much the only way someone can be falsely thought to have a game they don't have) isn't that the first thing a mod would check before approving a reroll?

ooh, I see, yeah, that makes sense

I'll close the support ticket then
but he shouldn't have blocked me, that was rude

First of all remove the giveaway creator's profile link and the giveaway's link. Since calling out isn't allowed. And submit a support ticket with the issue, I'm quite sure they would help you out in this matter.

System error - two winners were selected instead of one and I asked to remove one, since I had only one gift.
Check your email, you received a little something anyway.

I don't know what you sent to him (and don't want to), but I find that it's a nice move, especially since it was not your error... :-)

Yeah, but for the record, I received 2 times 2 rerolls before anybody that actually pays attention to steam woke up and told us about the free weekend. :p

Ohh and I didn't block you but I did remove your add because I remove any winners of my giveaways that adds me.
