What's with all of the giveaways lately that say...

... "if the key doesn't work then you agree to disregard this giveaway"?

If there are any doubts that a key will work then there shouldn't be a giveaway made for it. You're just wasting your time, staff's time if they have to delete the giveaway, and the potential winner's time. People get suspended for making fake or misleading giveaways according to the rules here. How is this kept track of if someone uses this statement in all of their giveaways and doesn't deliver most of the keys for whatever reason and no one reports them and they are allowed to continue making more giveaways? I'm gonna make an educated guess here and say there's no way for anyone to know unless the users are reported when they fail to deliver.

Isn't this circumventing the rules? Why should the winner agree to anything other than the rules of this website?

At first I only saw this happening in private and group giveaways and it didn't bother me as much but lately I am seeing more and more of them in public ones too. When did this become acceptable, or is it?

It's really no big deal to me. I hardly ever come here anymore because my health has been putting a dent in the wallet and I can't give away what I don't have anymore but if I was a winner of a giveaway on more than one occasion and I never received a game because of people getting away with making misleading giveaways by adding this statement to the giveaway description then I would probably get frustrated and leave the site claiming "fake" like many already do around here. Just sayin'.
