Just so you know, we can't see the ticket you linked-- only you can.

My two cents: You didn't even pay for the game, chill out.

Oh boy, and I thought the giveaway was a hoot, now we've got a discussion going too.

If Nonsense 2 was so good, why isn't there a Nonsense 3?

Here is something that was posted by Waxlor (Support) in a previous giveaway for this game:

Support here.

to the giveaway creator: you'll be obliged to give the winner the complete edition. If you're not willing to do that; delete this ga before it ends.

To a potential winner: DO NOT mark the giveaway as recieved if you do not get the complete edition. If you do mark as recieved you will be suspended and you will not be able to get passed SG tools protected giveaways which scan for non activated wins.

Not sure what your particular key was for, just letting you know what was posted in another giveaway by support before it was deleted.

if you don't like how SG works, just skip it.

1. Take a deep breath. In fact, take two, they're free (but don't make giveaways for them!)
2. What you're giving away is not the complete edition. When a whole bunch of people are saying "hey bro, you fucked up", you probably did.
3. Take a third deep breath, forget this crap ever happened, and go play a game instead. Make yourself a peanut butter sandwich, if it helps.

You're the living example of the joke of a person that's driving on his car and then a radio announcement comes and says that there's one person driving the wrong way on street 123 and then he screams to himself "One person? Everyone is driving the wrong way"

what bugs me is when i see somebody giving away 5+ copies.

Someone's mad.

Nonsense #3

It was full value before everyone started to report these fake GAs, lol

"Nonsense #1" is very valid.
Nonsense #2 however is Nonsense.

This is same situation as Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and that chopped version that was in HB, so yes, all giveaways for this, as far for steamgifts, are ok.

if you giveaway Episode 1 you cant post for Complete Edition.

There is a lot of confusion going around because of how the dev/publisher changed the title of the game and how SG works with Steam id's. If this game use to have an episode 1 and the title was changed to Complete Edition while using the same Steam id, then SG is basically screwed because there are two different game versions with the same Steam id and nobody will know what is being given away or activated.

People are going to give the complete edition and when you activate it, you will only get episode 1, but you can mark the giveaway as received because the complete edition on Steam is actually just episode 1. When you activate this key and go to the Steam store, it will show that you own the complete edition. What you will not own is the DLC for episodes 2-5, but those are not part of this Steam id.

This is annoying because if anyone wants to give the real complete edition in the future won't be able to get CV and anyone that owns the first episode won't be able to enter for the real complete edition to get the rest of the episodes.

A similar thing happened with a Tomb Raider game where they released a definitive edition and also changed the base game to be called the definitive edition even through you don't get the contents of the real definitive edition.

This is the problem of marketing this game (the full season and the first episode have one page in the store).
I don’t know if you are aware or not, but if the winner confirms this giveaway, he will be blocked on steamgifts.
Are you so angry that you wish this to a user you are not familiar with?

Regardless of however the publisher decided to name their game on Steam, the fact is, if you make a giveaway for the complete edition, then by SG rules you have to give the complete edition to the winner. The publisher has nothing to do with SG, so there's no point in assigning responsibility to them. You're the one responsible for the giveaways you create, no one else.
If you don't have the actual complete edition to give away to people, then don't create a giveaway with just the first episode. It's that simple.

You make an awful lot of effort to give away something that is 0 CV and isn't even on the list, and protect your "right" to do so (and deliberatelyconfuse winners), while telling people that if they don't like it, they can skip it. While you could have skipped the giveaway, or skipped making the giveaway, skipped making the topic, and just like that - the cool way - drop the key in a forum.
Literally less than 10 seconds to delete the giveaway, instead you're making all his hassle for literally no gain, lol.
Also, you addressing the thing that it should be for full game but omg, evil dev name changed - it obviously makes it a fake giveaway as you deliberately choose to give something you don't intend to deliver. Still no idea why you're wasting so much time and energy protecting something that worth literally nothing, but hey. You can skip the logic if you don't like it

Your giveaway is implying that it's the full package (30P isn't just the first episode), while you're actually only giving away episode 1, which for some reason has the same name (but isn't actually the same). So you're not giving away what you're actually claiming to give away, despite the same name.

Imagine having a kid, let's say his name is James. You bring him to the daycare, but when you pick him up later, the daycare wants to send home a different kid than your own with you. The employee says "Well, your own kid is named James, and so is this other kid, so it's fine if we give you this different kid instead". That employee is you, OP.

This thread is truly something. Not really providing to the discussion with it but i just felt like typing this out.

You are not giving Complete Edition but only first chapter in the name of Complete Edition. And you got Complete Edition points but people righteously complained cuz they didn't get Complete Edition? What am i missing here? tldr?
