Thank you, I'm slightly confused and I wanna ask, did you invite me to this invite-only giveaway?

I haven't sent you an invite, but you've probably found one in this description. It's a hidden giveaway.

You're welcome to join the giveway, if you want!

Thanks, I'm not 100% sure but I joined a giveaway of yours (it should have been this exact one where I'm commenting now but it's not as there's the option to join here.). I'm thankful that you're allowing me to join your giveaway but how can I join an invite-only if we both don't know each other and invite-only means "only people" we have invited, also, just as a general question, how do I leave an invite-only giveaway after forgetting which one it was and where/when it was?

I'm not certain what you're saying here. I have two giveaways running for the same game; you joined the other one; I assume that is where you found the link for this one. You should be able to enter this giveaway as well. If you only want to join only one of 'em, it should probably be this one: more copies, fewer entries.

[...] how can I join an invite-only if we both don't know each other [...]

An invite-only giveaway is like a regular "open" giveaway, but is not advertised on the site. So the link itself is the invite. You don't have to actually know each other. It's explained in the FAQ. Invite-only giveaways are often used as puzzles or hidden giveaways.

[...] how do I leave an invite-only giveaway after forgetting which one it was and where/when it was?

You can find a list of all the giveaways you've entered here, or under the "giveaways" button on the top left (click on the little arrow). It's easy to leave giveaways from there.

I'm thankful that you're allowing me to join your giveaway [...]

It's open to all who found the link, but you're welcome. I prefer having a hidden giveaway over having a public one with multiple copies. It filters out the bots. And probably some people who skim over or suppress descriptions -- that's not my intention, but an imperfect system is better than no system. In this case, at least. I think.

Thank you very much, even though I didn't have anything to do with you directly, you've been very helpful. I've LEFT the invite-only as I don't wanna ruin the chances of your friends/whitelist/both and also I'm pretty sure it was a mistake, what's weird was, How the heck do I even got the link in the first place. I often open links of people asking for Youtube checkout/steam checkout or Twitch checkout so maybe that's how I got to you in the first place.
One last thing, How does this quoting works like the feature you're using to answer my queries one by one, how do you do it? thanks in advance and have a great day

Comment formatting can be found under the "Help" button on the top bar, or here. For the quotes, you preface a line with >.

If I have more than one key to give away, I usually throw one up as a public giveaway, and the others hidden in the description. For example here, here, or here. It weeds out the bots. It's not a mistake that you've found the invite-only giveaway.

As I said before, you're more than welcome to join the giveaway, and your chances here will be better than in the public giveaway, but no pressure.

How the heck do I even got the link in the first place.

This keeps confusing me. The link is in this giveaway and that should be the only place where you can find the link. You entered that giveaway. I assume you clicked the link in the description.

I often open links of people asking for Youtube checkout/steam checkout or Twitch checkout so maybe that's how I got to you in the first place.

Maybe you clicked the link, thinking it was a link to someone's channel? That could be. However, if you did get to this giveaway via someone's Youtube / Twitch channel, it would mean that someone else would be using my giveaways to promote their channel, and I would be mildly peeved.

Hey, there was an internet blackout in my area.

I found out that your giveaway somehow ended up in the "recommended" section and hence..... I joined it because I liked the game.....
And thank you so much for assistance, and rest assured, no one is using your content :P
