Is there a way to relinquish a win if the mystery game won turns out to be something you already owned?

This is why I don't like the mystery game option

I only enter for games I want to play, have the means to play, and will likely play in the next few months

Anyone entering for games they don't want, or even know what the game is, don't have the means to play, or don't have the time to play, are stopping people who can actually use the codes from getting them

I would imagine the vast majority of mystery key winners won't want to play the games they win, and there are probably people who would have wanted to play those games, had they known what the prize was

It just seems counter to the "only enter for games you want to play" mentality that makes the most sense for the community

Samaritan is a star. I'm not usually a fan of mystery giveaways but yours were done well so I entered a couple of them. Thanks for offering all those great games, and as the poster above me just mentioned that Little Witch got delisted from Steam today. I'm sure your code will still work, but anyone looking to buy it there if they lose, tough luck.

Pretty sure if you win something from these trick or treat things you don't want, you could just make your own giveaway

Is captcha a real thing now?
The CAPTCHAs were always real.

The question is...
...are you?


Well, that's one of the questions. The other question being whether this is a stop sign next to that busload of orphans. I'm going to need to know real soon -- like, in three seconds or so -- so if you could click the boxes containing stop signs ASAP, that'd be swell.

Autonomous driving is hard, yo...
