won Humble Indie Bundle #2 GA but one game is missing

Closed
xbone85x

hi guys, i won the GA for a Humble Indie Bundle #2 (http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/U7KGf/humble-indie-bundle-2). the steam key provided by the OP i already redeemed (proof: http://i.imgur.com/piJN7yK.jpg). i noticed that one game is missing (Cortex Command). after a short research i found in the indiegamebundle wiki (http://indiegamebundle.wikia.com/wiki/The_Humble_Indie_Bundle_2) this:

  • Purchasing this bundle at any price included a single Steam key that would activate all games except Cortex Command on the purchaser’s account. When Cortex Command was released on Steam on Sep 28, 2012 another key was added for just Cortex Command.

my question is now: should i mark the GA as received (because the steam key for Cortex Command was added later) or should i contact the OP that Cortex Command is missing?

thanks in advance

edit: thanks for the replies guys. i contacted support now. i dont have any problems to mark the GA as received...i just dont want to get any trouble.

edit #2: support replied thats ok to mark it as received ans that they leave a mark on my profile just in case. and so i did. problem solved and thread closed. thanks again.

What if you won the Valve pack and you would in fact recieve the old Valve pack (prior cs:go release)? These situations should be clarified - some time in the future OP could be reported by some vigilante who does not know about this situation.

that's not the point - the point is not to do something illegal according to this site's set of rules, and his situation is tricky; that's why he should ask support

in this case he should contact giveaway creator first because if he can help him support doesn't need to waste its time on this issue

Like said before, you should contact support but IMHO, he made a giveaway for HIB 2 and he gave you HIB2, that's what steam says :p

Just a quick heads up, you censored your account name in the right corner, however it's still visible on the left in the "headline" :P

---- nvm, I see now, you are right :P

I mean, it's nothing too bad but I thought I'd tell you if you felt the need to censor it in the first place ^^

I'm not OP, but just a "smartass". I noticed afterwards that you were in fact right and I did not look where I should. :)

Considering the fact that a few days ago that was enough to change your password and gain access to your account through the Steam bug, you might want to consider hiding it.

As has been said, as far as Steam is concerned, the pack of games called Humble Indie Bundle 2 doesn't contain Cortex Command. Since that pack is what was being given away and it's what you have received, everything is in order, IMO.

Thats a perfect expression of the harsh rules in place here. Giftees gotten a gift and now needs to worry if he received it fully as it he could be banned else.

No. There is no need to worry, can just ask support. I'm pretty sure they don't ban you for that.

Not too long ago i received a gift here. It showed that it was a non-row steam gift. Received it, couldnt redeem. Marked it as received, as technically the transaction was successful. Asked support about the matter. Got an answer "row gifts shouldn't happen" with no resolution. Got banned for not redeeming soon after. There was not even a debate. Support declined to comment. Are you sure?

Edit: minor clarifications.

@silverhr you reckognize that not marking is slapping someone in his/her face for giving stuff but not even giving credit for? Also i call the "fear for exploitation" needs draconic rules lest it would lead to less ga's a myth. Feel free to correct me.

@brandex If the only contribution of yourself is to troll around mindlessy i don't think i need to do any further business with you. Blacklisted!

You shouldn't mark as received before you activate the gift on your Steam account. And you got a temporary suspension, bans are usually permanent.

If these rules weren't in place, there would be much exploitation which would lead to less giveaways which would lead to less users which would mean even less giveaways and so on.

Such questions are the reason why the rule used to require that the actual gift link to the bundle had to be given away.

What kind of stupid question is this?

Did Steam say you have HiB 2? If yes then good. If no the complaint. Check your Steam first before trying to be freakin' greedy and bringing trouble to the GA creator.

If you read what he wrote, you would see that he is mostly trying to avoid trouble for himself...Who are you to talk about greedy?

I READ it clearly. And I still see he's being greedy. The screenshot clearly says HiB 2. What more does he need? STEAM SAYS IT IS HIB 2. END OF STORY.

Yeah, initially i thought blacklist was an all-inclusive thing, but i don't really use it since its not. I figure if anyone really doesn't deserve something that i am giving away, i will just accept a -1 and any negativity it entails and they will accept nothing.
Not that i am looking forward to doing such a thing and i hope it never happens...

No, of course you shouldn't.
I shouldn't have either but the rude users (be they few and far between) are starting to get to me...shouldn't have had some beer tonight..the chill pill would have served me better :)
