Before going with the mindless insults, ask yourself: How is it feasible to pay for 15 ign prime subscriptions? What's the point?

Answer: There's none, they're exploiting. It happened before, it's happening now, it will happen again.

No, they aren't. It is a bit silly to imagine that they are.

There's a guy on steamtrades trading 77 copies of Trine and 19 copies of A Virus Named Tom and he has already traded several of them. Do you really think he has that many IGN Prime subscriptions?

I like your metaphor :D. It's true though, these Trine giveaways are multiplying at a really fast rate. Not that I'm complaining, since I'm trying to win one rabbit, I mean Trine, myself :)

Ditto. With all the multiple giveaways I've had around 80 chances of winning, but still no luck for me...

You would think we'd have a great chance of winning since there has been so many of these giveaways. But alas, no luck for me yet either :(

People are probably stopping entering because many have already won it. So that's our chance!! After everybody else in the whole world has won Trine, we're the only ones who're allowed to enter those giveaways, so then we're bound to win :D

Let's hope it. But we are hundreds.
I'm sure someone won more than one, so they may be reroll or regift...

afaik, there was some kind of a bug, when ign was giving you a random unused code every time, you reload a page. so one could easily get tons of keys on a single subscription. it was closed fast enough, but enough keys were retrieved this way.

Trine key will most likely be added to exploited keys list and it's posting will be offence worth of ban. Problem solved.

Does anyone have an extra key? Since it will be consider as exploited key, I won't be able to get one since they are closed.

I don't care if they giveaway the copies they got for free. They have the game and I want it. Shouldn't they be rewarded for giving it away to a stranger?
Edit: Wasn't aware of the bug. But nevertheless I still want this game and would prefer for them to be giving it away here then trying to trade it or giving it to mates.

Well this is worst than piracy (by law). It's steal to gift and get contribution boost.

Not really since contribution's have no actual value. Also in what way is this worst? At least the dev's get money for the copies.

devs don't get money for those.
devs gave ign a bunch of keys, and ign's distribution system fucked up and was giving random keys to random users.
Also note, they could have recieved activated keys and one have no way to check, if his key was already taken. That also means, diferent people may have farmed the same key, the first to activate it gets the game. Those gifters have no way to check, if their key is valid yet.
There are lots of problems about this exact exploited keys.

You may also remember Hitman: Sniper Challenge giveaway, which became region blocked after it spread the world. who knows, what happens to those ign keys next...

But then those gifters who gave activated keys will be reported for giving away a bad key? In any case I think saying this is worse than pirating the game itself is a bit of an overreaction.

What? How do you know devs didn't earn? I bet IGN actually bought these keys from them. Why would devs wait for giving key away to get paid?

I guess it could be a weird form of advertising. But even so the dev's are benefitting somehow.
