Hiya, can you request a new winner? I miscalculated when the giveaway would end and had bought this before it finished by accident. Really appreciate the giveaway though, just hope someone else can enjoy it!

Unfortunately, SteamGifts support are a bit reluctant to re-roll when a key has been viewed by the original winner. With your permission (just affirm here for support, and you'd be best to uncheck the Received status), I'll have the giveaway deleted and drop the key in a forum somewhere (alternatively, you can keep it and do whatever you want with it, just let me know your preference).

Cheers. I offered it to one of the other entrants (as there weren't many I just went for the person who gave the most giveaways) but haven't sent the key. If they don't take it up I'll unreceive it and let you put it somewhere else, if that suits :). Understandable the admins don't like rerolling if the key's been viewed.

Sorry about this!

Technically, in order to follow the site's rules, you should still mark it as Not Received and have me delete the giveaway, regardless of the eventual disposition of the key (marking it as Received indicates you have redeemed that key specifically to the Steam account associated with your SteamGifts account, and that it wasn't a duplicate).

The only thing I can think of to avoid is using the key in your own giveaway here (re-gifting), but it's perfectly fine to donate it outside of the giveaway system (even if still on this site) with my full approval.. Having said that, as DLC I don't think there's any real way to detect a (minor) violation of the rules here (even if you use SGTools), so if you're not as anally retentive (well, slightly nit-pickingly autistic) as I am then feel free not to jump through these hoops. ;-)

In any case, I'm happier for you disposing of the key as you wish than me having to do it. :-)

P.S. No worries. I sometimes get do-gooders advising me to restrict my giveaways beyond level 0 or I'm asking for trouble or letting bots snatch keys, but I rarely get any trouble from my bundle spares, and I like to be as inclusive as possible, these people can't possibly understand the circumstances of folks in all parts of the world, and I occasionally get a pleasant "OMG I won, thanks so much!" comment as a result.

That's useful, cheers. I think I'll deal with it, you've been very helpful with this!

And, yeah, I know what you mean re: the do-gooders, they're well-intentioned at least but there are pluses and minuses to that approach.
