    Open for 24 hours. Play it now and get double the game! A large content patch is due in the next few months for this one.

    Ok feck it. Please read the text below the link

    This is for a Blue Shift retail key, which has been reported to activate the Half Life 1 Platinum Pack on Steam. That includes:

    Half Life
    Half Life Blue Shift
    Half Life Deathmatch Source
    Opposing Force
    Team Fortress Classic
    Ricochet
    Day of Defeat


    There is no listing in the Steam Marketplace for this pack however, & there is no listing in Steamgifts for it either, but I know it exists, I used my original HL key today & received it. The Half Life 1 Anthology is the closest to the actual Platinum pack that I can find. So, again, I'm not 100% sure, but from the above forum post linked to, it seems Blue Shift activates the same pack. Apologies if it doesn't, all I can base this on is steam forum posts. You will at the very least get Blue Shift, but I'm 99.9% sure you'll get the unlisted Platinum Pack too as I did.

    Won by Eanan, code sent by email.

    Use a 'dummy' game with a similar value in the SG library. Just tell everyone here what game is truly on offer and how they have to activate it. :)

    I have a copy of Penny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 that is destined to be stuck in my inventory forever. Because of that free key promotion, it's been marked as compromised so it won't appear in the list.

    Proof: http://steamcommunity.com/id/cagedconch/inventory#753_1

    Would it be okay to offer it to the group this way?

    Yeah I could do that, think I might throw it up in the freebies thread instead.

    I do have another giveaway though
    Its the Introversion Complete pack (also from PCGamer)

    Contains:
    1. Darwinia
    2. Multiwinia
    3. Uplink
    4. Defcon

    No to both .

    The game given away must match the giveaway exactly ( Risk of Steamgifts bans for the giveaway creator and winner )

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭McSasquatch


    Well, unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to participate in the group any more folks - my account has been permanently suspended over on SteamGifts.com and it's sister sites.

    I do have one last game to give away though (had been saving it til we got closer to release), so I'll need a reputable sort (or group admin/mod) to create the giveaway on my behalf; I'll gift you the game well in advance so it'll be in your inventory to gift to the eventual winner. Anyone interested can drop me a PM.

    In the meantime, I'd like to thank everyone for all the chances to win games! Has been a great thread/group to have been a part of. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,578 ✭✭✭✭Turtwig


    May we enquire as to why it was suspended?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭McSasquatch


    Yes you may!

    I'll refer you back to this post. I had used two Steam accounts at different times in the past to access SteamGifts but had been using the same Steam name (McSasquatch) with both. As requested in their terms and conditions, I contacted support to let them know I had used alternate accounts on the site and that I wished to have one of them banned, and disassociated with my Steam ID so as to avoid any potential future debates over cheating etc (and also my account safety).

    The request to their support was made back on the same date as that post (so what, six weeks ago now?). Anyway, no response from them in that time. Now, I have been reluctant to take part too much over there until the issue had been resolved, so today I bumped my support ticket. And within a few hours, my account had been perma-banned for.......... exactly what I wanted fixed, ie having alternate accounts.

    So I'm a bit annoyed as I was the one who brought this to their attention, and they can easily cross reference the accounts to see that I hadn't been acting in any dodgy manner (repping myself, entering twice for giveaways etc). And the timing of the ban is suspicious to say the least. Anyway, I raised another support ticket in the hopes that it's just an error and they suspended the wrong account, but we'll see.

    Oh, Axwell has kindly volunteered to make the next, and last giveaway on my behalf, so I'll be contacting him on Steam in the next few days to get it set up. :)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Thats really annoying, hopefully they sort it out for you once they go through the support ticket and actually check things. Id say its part automated and it got flagged and someone just hit the big red ban button. With a bit of luck you will be back in action in a few days!

    For fúcks sake, you'd think common sense would prevail here but I guess not. You had actually given away some pretty good games too which just makes it worse, the SteamGifts community should be looking to keep people like you around.

    I'd say the problem is the constant influx of people trying to game the system for free games. Fast trigger fingers are understandable. What matters is whether the appeal system is sensible.

    Update this morning - a mod unbanned me "pending review from an admin". So watch this space I suppose. I'll still ask you to gift the game if you don't mind Axwell? Just in case the ban is upheld in the middle of the giveaway.
