Hey guys,

I just booted up my PC a while ago and saw "one new message" on Steam, clicked on it and it read "You received a new Inventory item" And suddenly I've got Magicka as a gift sitting there but no indication whatsoever where it came from.
Checked Steamgifts, won nothing, checked my email, nothing there, so how can I just get a game without me knowing from where?

Had someone else happen something like that to him/her before?

Well, there should be a name/avatar at the end of the gift email?
Usually when you accept a gift it automatically makes you and the gifter friends on Steam, so any new friends? Maybe an existing one wanted to surprise you?

Who cares? It's a free game! xD lol
But, seriously, you can check the name of the person who sent you this gift. btw, are you sure you didn't join any other giveaway website like gameminer or galaggiveaway?

you got drunk, made a new account, bought magicka on that account, gifted your main, and now you're too hungover to read the end of the gift email to see who it was from.

Yes there is absolutely no Email. I won something yesterday which was sent via Steam and I know how it is supposed to look, with a little message and a nice picture of the game etc. But it just said "You've got a new Item" and it was there without me doing anything.

I'm also 100% positive that I'm not registered anywhere else, didn't even know about these sites that got mentioned.

Since you guys don't seem to know something like this happening I'm now getting a little worried, maybe I should change my password :)

Also it would be nice to know how send me this to thank the person!

Maybe there is some promo going on, like with Nuclear Dawn? As in "if you own game X you receive a free copy of Magicka"
I really don't know :D

I think my only Paradox game is Crusader Kings 2 but maybe... Funny because I entered a lot of Magicka giveaways in January but never won and now have not entered any in the last 2 weeks

Did you check the Won section just encase? I've had the site bug and not show the green banner/no inclination that I had won a giveaway.
