Matruchus: Yes you can it just needs to be the Uncut version of the game. Best version supposedly for germans is the Dying Light Uncut AT version (aka austrian version) since its not regionally restricted and is in german. A german thread on steam forums disscussed this half a year ago. This version supposedly works in Germany -> Dying Light Uncut AT from gameshop.at Be aware though you won't be able to buy any dlc for the game on Steam.

More about Dying Light german copy activation here!

As for the giveaway itself - > Im in. Wish it was a gog version but probably not for some time. This is one of the games I really wish would come to gog.com in the future. Oh, and + 1 for the giveaway :)
The information i have about the normal "global key" is the following:

This product is region locked and CAN'T be activated and played in: Germany, Japan, Australia, Russian Federation, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Republic of, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine.
/
Dieses Produkt hat einen Region-Lock und kann in den nachfolgenden Ländern nicht aktiviert werden: Deutschland, Japan, Australien, Russland, Armenien, Aserbaidschan, Belarus, Georgien, Kasachstan, Kirgisistan, Moldau, Tadschikistan, Turkmenistan, Usbekistan und der Ukraine.

Can't comment on the Austrian version itself but it most likely either way may be special "glitch" or is fixed by now? (meaning it worked a while and then became locked? )


EDIT: Researched a bit more and ya these Austrian uncut keys still seem to worked and are still being sold and working!

Nope the austrian/swiss keys are not locked for germany. Only the global version is locked there. In fact you can order a retail uncut version in a german retail store and activate it on Steam. The same is valid for Techlands Dead Island series that was and still is playable for german users. Basically its a legal hole that allows people to play the game in Germany.

Edit: Also Techland games have no geolock.

You sure? This article says that you can even activate it in Germany (while in case of some games you have to activate it elsewhere but can then install and play it in Germany - IIRC that's how it worked in case of Dead Island).

Check the discussion between me and Matruchus on Page 4 - summarized - YES - the Austrian/Switzerland uncut Key can be activated in Germany - and the normal GLOBAL Key can't be unlocked in Germany and some other countries and is region locked. Key in the Giveaway is most likely a global key ?

Ja also Key ist nur für Deutsche aktivierbar ohne GeoIP zu umgehen wenn es sich um einen Österreichischen oder Schweizer Key handelt was eher ziemlich unwahrscheinlich ist.

Guess there's still the option to activate it via proxy or having a foreign friend you can trust activate it for you. I did that for several good friends of mine with Dead Island who could play it while logged in in Germany (the exception was one Dead Island key which I got from a gaming mag rather than the retail version or from the Steam store). The question is if Dying Light is one of those games that can only be played in Germany even after successful activation.
