I won a game on another giveaway site. When I clicked "Show key", this is what was waiting for me. Not only that they didn't give me a key, they just wrote some swear words. Bastards.

The creator surely had a gift of words, the bad words more specifically.

Steamcompanion and Gameminer worked so far for me :) But what swear words? I don't get it, if it's just swear words, then why did you circle it as asterisks? Couldn't it be a misunderstanding, and it's a gift, but the GA maker felt like he had to write something? (If it was really swearing, we can ignore this last probability)

that's why SG doesn't accept text in the GA tab, only keys, Humble bundle link, etc.

Here on SG was one guy who gave a mediafire link to the winners of his giveaways to download the game.

Sometimes I think it would be useful to have text.

There's been a couple of occasions where I've done batches of giveaways and 1 person has won 2 games, 1 being a key - the other a gift. Just in case there was confusion, and the person was wondering where their other game was I'd have quite liked to have typed something. "Here is your key xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxx sent the other one to your mail via Steam" on the one they won the key, or I could write "Sent to your mail" on the one they won the actual gift.

There's also been the once or twice when I've wanted to give DLC away as a bonus to the winner. Can't just add the keys as SG thinks I'm trying add more copies of the giveaway game and can't type a message to tell the winner to check their mail for a surprise.

I understand why they make it like that on here though.

For the gifts, maybe the win page coud display "Gift mailed" where the key normally appears once the creator checked the sent button, so the winner knows that he has to check his mail.
There have been some times where I won a game and expected to receive a key because it was in a bundle, but I got it in my mail (Groupees gift for example), so it took me some time to notice it since I wasn't thinking of checking my mails.

For the extra DLC, you can just add the winner on Steam to give him in the chat, and if he doesn't accept, too bad for him ^^
but it could be nice to have a system where you can set multiple keys to be displayed for the winner

And the day after that he tried to boost his CV with a fake whitelist giveaway of a $800 software, but there were only 2 entries and he created a thread to complain that he did not level up so he got permabanned ^^

Isn't there a low possibility that the steam key consists of three 5 letter swear words? :p

I would never even redeem such a key, it would be one of my most prized possessions.

OP mark the game as received and it will show you the key.

That's not true. I recently won a giveaway(Considering the game that OP won, I believe it's from the same giver, but I can't tell for sure), and I I can say it shows a button to click to show key. After having tried the key, I marked the game as received.

You're right. It's been a while. I knew you pressed something to get the key to show and the button was gone in the screenshot. I didn't get the joke.

It was actually an error, when you get your gift, there are asterisks and a button Show key. When I clicked Show key, a bug happened and the asterisks stayed. I thought it was funny and made a screenshot :P

I come to SG because forum is alive. & there are groups which prefer to use SG over other sites.
I had better experience with SC support than SG.
Every giveaway site has it's flaws. so take your pick n toot their horn.


also care to elaborate on -

Not only that they didn't give me a key, they just wrote some swear words. Bastards.
