I won portal, but am still waiting for it - i am beginning to think it wont show. But i won :) so that makes me happy either way. (yes i know i am sad lol)

how did u know it was a bad key - i wont stop gifting but this has me wondering if i should continue to enter ?

I think it was a keygen...
I got one yesterday too, and redeemed (before knowing it was exploited)..
Hope they just delete the game from my account, and don't try anything funny... ;p

oh, and congrats!! (just wait a little more for your game... ;p)

The giveaway was removed by an admin, and when I checked the steamgift forum to see what was going on, there was some talk about bad A Valley without Wind keys being generated (apparently someone had created a keygen, and people were submitting keygenerated keys on steamgifts). Things like this has apparently happened in the past (check their list of exploited keys), but it is not common.

Oh well. A Valley Without Wind looked neat, but it is not on the top of my "must play" list, and it would probably have been a game that would have gathered some digital dust for a while in my steam library anyway.

Contact Steam support to be on the safe side and explain what happened. They will most likely not do anything to your account either way, other than just remove the game from your library, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the reply Stooner, but how would i know if it was generated from a keygen ? I dont have many games, but i dont want to lose the ones i have.

AFnord - i will stick it on my todo list for u when i can, and thanks for the info :)

If you mean gift me a copy of the game, then please don't. While it would be much appreciated, I think there are others out there in more dire need of games than me. I have plenty of games to play, and I've recently won two giveaways.

ok no problem :)

+1 for your generous attitude mate :D

okies Stooner, thank you mate :)

Don't worry, it's only a few and specific games..
In this case (A Valley Without Wind), looks like the devs choose to put the retail codes as steam redeemable too, bad choice, as a keygen already was in use...
Thanks AFnord.. I'll try this later..
Don't know if it's a game that worths the trouble for me too... ;p
btw, do you happen to have a link to this kind of support for me?


damn, my connection is really bad today... :(

Extra Credits said that A Valley Without Wind was supposed to be an interesting experience, and they have recommended quite a lot of games that at least I consider to be good in the past.

was this person and his giveaway from our gog group ? if so post their name

Thanks again AFnord!...
and wow, they really need me to create an account for every site? (store/forum/support ...)... :/

oh, make sense i guess... at least for support... ;p

No, it was just a random open to the public giveaway.

Just started using SteamGifts. Can I get an invite?
