Gamers Gate purchase question

you can either

1) Buy it and gamersgate will show you the key (you can still see the key in the future)
2) gift it and send it to your mail and you can see the key there (Very useful for 4 packs purchases) and save it there

not all games use the steam drm but those that do should give you a key that you can giveaway

thanks for the quick responses

The obvious option that others have failed to mention is just buying as a gift. If you buy it as a gift you can then send it to the other person's email address after the giveaway. They then will not only get the Steam activation key, but also sometimes a DRM-free back-up and/or extras (though these things are kind of rare).

This option is not only more logical and simpler to send, but it also avoids the problem you encounter when buying a game and just revealing the Steam key. That problem being: you will still have the game in your Gamersgate library. Gamersgate limits you to two instances of the same game in your library, so best not to have one in your library if there's any chance you will want to buy one for yourself in the future (or if you've already bought one for yourself).

Also, as has already been noted, not all Gamersgate purchases provide Steam keys, be careful.

I think I made a slight error. I sent as a gift to my own e-mail, now I can only redeem the key.
Will I still be able to pass this key to a giveaway winner? Even though the game will still be linked to my Gamers Gate account.

Ok thanks for all your help. Still new to all this and patience is welcome.
Here is the game giveaway 0.01 contrib value needed to maybe prompt others to give back.
