Won game but creator chose the wrong game from the list / gave the wrong game.

Did you already activate it?

Politely tell them that and ask if they have given the wrong key or something. If they don't manage to provide the right game, well, it's their problem- in that case you should mark it as not received.

I agree with Zlia. This is a unfortunate situation but it's not your fault. Some people will say you should just mark it as received because you got a game, don't do that! You can get a ban because you didn't activate a win (Winter Assault not in your game list).

I know someone who very recently got a suspension because they received a game last year which wasn't 100% identical to the giveaway (they won painkiller X instead of painkiller Y) and they've now been suspended because steamgifts couldnt find the game they said they received in their inventory, which therefore means it was regifted, hence a suspension.

So yeah, mark as not received, or at some point down the line man up and take a few weeks suspension for it.

I don't remember if that's true (I think I read it once on Steam forum), but if it's Humble Bundle key, isn't Winter Assault buried somewhere in the main game's folder? They could have patched it out even if it was true at some point, but I'd like a confirmation if it was ever possible.

You shouldn't mark it as received, but they can deal with SteamGifts support for deleting the giveaway.

Don't mark it received. If you win a giveaway and then your account doesn't end up owning the game - that's suspicious and you could be banned for reselling gifts.

Tell the guy what's up. Either he then gives you the correct game, or he has the giveaway deleted (if that's possible at this point, I'm not sure).

If neither of these things happen you should mark it as not received eventually.

I had the same problem and I did not feel like leaving a not received mark, so I contacted support and they removed the giveaway.

don't mark it as recieved because i had a similiar issue and i got suspended for not activating the gift i won

I think he did it on purpose because the game hegave you is bundled and the one he selected isn't bundled so he can overpass the 30.00 CV Bundle Limit

Mark it as not received and move on.

Mark it as unreceived, and try to contact him.

Worst that can happen is someone finding it weird that you won the same game twice.

Just be glad you got something .. Sigh

Same thing happened to me …

I won map dlc, but what he gave me was FREE promotional code for new MP skins.

- loud sigh -

Same thing happened to me too

FYI, you can play Winter Assault by starting the .exe file in the game folder.

Please, check the date.
