I won a giveaway and after I saw that the key wasn't automatically delivered, I waited for some kind of email or friend request from the giveaway creater but after a day, nothing came so I looked at his profile on SG and he's been permanently suspended. Should I just mark as not received and move on or should I attempt to talk to the guy about it?

Edit: Thank you for your replies, I think I'll just wait the 7 days and mark it as not received

I'd try to talk to the guy in Steam if I were you

Tough luck, he won't come back to the site so he's not under any obligation to give it to you, really.

He might give it to you if he's a saint or something.

Happened to me too during my first days on SG. Never did get the game.

Why would have the saint been suspended in the first place? He just can be a somewhat nice guy, especially if it isn't something fancy AAA.

Sometimes nice people do stupid things. It's true, unfortunately.

I don't argue with that. That's very much true. But saints don't.

Would like to see that made into a rule for any fake giveaway not removed by a mod.

Yeah, dem alt accounts making fake GTAV GA's would get out of hand pretty fast.

There will always be bad people but as a whole we are a good community IMHO

It's the same as with any other giveaway. If you haven't received the game after the seven day period has passed, then mark it as not received. You can attempt to contact the person if you wish.

Wouldn't be much point, unless I'm mistaken about what parts of the site a suspended user can access, they won't be able to confirm someone contacting them was the winner.

The OP could make a screenshot of it. I highly doubt the GA creator would care now that he is permanently banned though.

Hmm, what about showing him through.. Ehh.. I forgot what it's called. Being able to connect with each other's PC and showing him.

Have them make a support ticket asking for the winner to be confirmed? That's so much effort...

You can only access the support page while logged in on a suspended account.

So yeah :P

maybe he was a regifter because that game was given by Carlmundo for a total of 750 copies not that long ago, and probably he regifted more, don't reveal his name because it will be against the rules, but you can check for yourself here http://www.sgtools.tk/activation if he activated his wins and compare if he regifted to see why he was suspended.

I didn't know the existence of that site, thanks. Apparently every game he gave away (except the one I won) was a regift. At least I know what was the cause of the suspension

Well it's 99% probable that you won't get the game, but you can at least try and hope for that 1% chance that the guy wants to give you the game for the kindness of his heart, but if he got perma banned I think he's not a nice person... be careful if he wants some information or something from you.
