Currently there's no way to tell the gifter that that there is a problem with the key sent until a week later. Looking through the previous recommendations, I see we're not adding a communication channel for Winner/Gifter to talk, so how about a simple button? A button, that indicates there's some concern with the key, something that prompts the gifter to double check.

That is of course, if we're super serious about not just adding an opt in communication channel between both parties. A button to hit saying "I wanna talk", allowing the other party to accept.

EDIT: I was overthinking the following rule - and therefore wasn't wanting to comment in the respective GA thread.
"General

  • Use the appropriate avenues for support. If you have an issue with another user, submit a ticket with a user report, rather than calling them out within the community or on the forum. "

What's wrong with simply commenting on the giveaway itself? o.O

Isn't that public? I figured calling someone out for giving a duplicate key in a public forum was against the rules? Maybe I'm overthinking that?

Yup, you're overthinking that. While the comments are available to anyone that can see the giveaway (which most of the time won't happen, as I imagine people don't just start randomly looking at ended giveaway comment sections - with a few exceptions, like puzzles and such), it's not the same as say, you telling me in this topic that user X broke a rule or something like that. You can safely use the giveaway comment section to resolve issues related to said giveaway. It would, however, be 'calling out' if you accuse the user of making a fake giveaway before it ended, so do keep that in mind.

The winner can leave a comment in the giveaway if there's something wrong with the key.
If they wait a week to do so, it's on them.

What is wrong with just commenting on the giveaway itself that there is something wrong or adding the GA creator on Steam?

Edit: Note to self, refresh the page before leaving a comment lol
