I wasn't able to locate a giveaway for FS with 40k entries. I did, however, find this one with 14,296 entries.

We talking developer giveaways or individual member giveaways?

My Highest (BioShock Infinite, 12,000+ entries)

Around 12k seems to be normal for big games and 20k+ for large giveaways...

definitely a programming error!
4,294,967,295 is the max value for 32bit unsinged int. Obviosly the number of entries is not calculated from the actual amount of entries (MySQL-Keyword COUNT *) but instead it is stored in an extra field with the GA itself.

same amount as the tomb raider one. weird...

edit: not that weird... (see above -> max_value of 32bit unsigned int)

The highest legit number of entries is reserved for Half Life 3, just you wait!
