[FREE] Dead Man's Draw [ended]

Closed

Dead Man's Draw

You need to own one of the following games:

Now to get the game:

  1. Go to https://www.stardock.com/ and login with your Steam account. Enter your email and validate it.
  2. Start any of the games and the Stardock game launcher opens. Look for a Free Game button which will open a page on the Stardock website https://prnt.sc/qwct6j. Alternative without the need to install any of the games go to https://www.stardock.com/games/promotions?providerappid=<appid>&promoid=freedmd&providertypeid=2&providerid=<steamid>. Replace <steamid> with your steamID64 and <appid> with one of the app ids that you own.
  3. Validate your email again and get your Steam key for the game.

The Stardock server is under heavy load. You need to wait a few hours for your validation mails. Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion was available for free in December 2018 so most should own this one. It might be that you need some playtime in the game. Either start the game or use an idler to get that.

You can also get Offworld Trading Company but this is only free multiplayer not full game. So don't make giveaways for the full game. Discussion

[edit] updated with the tips provided in the thread
[edit2] added info about Offworld and server load
[edit3] seems some users have exploited the system and there are no more keys for the rest

Can't get much more selfish than being the cockwomble who creates a 21 copy giveaway of a free game.

Yep, those are the people who are jamming the site so legitimate players can't log in to get their game.

The worst is I imagine it'll be put in the no CV list so they probably won't gain anything. Meanwhile the site is overloaded so people who actually would like to play the game can't get a copy...

It was already no CV before they even created the giveaway.

Well then it makes it even worst since they also created two other extra giveaways with 13 copies each.
I really don't understand the incentive to hog that many copies if it's a 0CV game?

They're not very bright, that's why they do this. None of them read the site guidelines, so they hoard keys for free and expect to gain something from it anyway.

It worked but now I'm not receiving the validation e-mail, so I'm unsure if I'll ever get the game...
Too bad it looks like an interesting game...

I just got the key now. Keep checking your email I think you will probably still be able to get the game.

It's pretty high on my wishlist, actually. Hoping Stardock still gives us a proper shot at it.. :X

Thanks, but I guess I'll have to wait a lot longer for the email validation message. Also it took me a long time for them to pass me off to Steam login or pass back to Stardock. They must be slammed.

BTW I added you to my whitelist.

It doesn't work for me. I validated the email twice but nothing happened.
The validation link brings me in a page that says: "Validation Successful. Thank you for validating, you may now close this window." and nothing more.

I think that was the account validation mail, not the game validation mail. I got mine few hours later.

Yeah I had a similar issue so if your getting your keys now it looks like there two major bottle necks.

Initial registration requires email confirmation and those can be delayed 4+ hours
Then when u go to claim the key you need another email confirmation another 4+ hours

After doing the second one, I did get my key.

Don't hit the resend button, it won't make it faster, you will get multiple emails, and further clog the system.
