For those of you wondering:
I have no idea how I didn't see that coming. And I had just gotten done bragging to a coworker about winning DS3 in a raffle too... lol.
But I still won a raffle out of 157 people. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
I'm so sorry XD
I planned it a day in advance so it ended in April Fools and it wasn't so obvious
But yeah, I don't have the money to buy it even for me (I haven't even played DS2 yet).
I'm feeling pretty bad, seeing you with so high spirits. Come on, name some game under 10 bucks and it's yours, I'm feeling generous.

Oh, *now* he's feeling generous. I don't mean to be to hard on them, but that gag is pretty messed up.

I feel a bit bad for him, but I'm actually laughing a lot with this XD
It could have been Bad Rats.
Happy April Fools Day everyone!

I must be a saint for giving out Mount Your Friends and Portal.
Got to respect that mad troll game.

No, no save your money please. I'll take my L. You've won this round.
I've received some very generous gifts from GAF members, like New Vegas and The Witcher III, so nobody here owes me anything.

Lets use probably the most wanted game on steamgaf right now as a fake giveaway, using a systen designed for people to be generous with each other.
What could go wrong?

Endruen just shot themselves in the foot.
I dont know how much the rest of you know about SteamGAF culture (Im an expert), but honour and shame are huge parts of it. Its not like it is in AnimeGAF where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in SteamGAF, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the SteamGAF public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to quote Endruen's posts, nor will they enter any of Endruens other giveaways. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Endruen has alienated an entire thread with this move.
Endruen, publicly apologize and give Dark Souls 3 away or you can kiss your giveaways goodbye.

Just finished the first act of Broken Age. I know this game is really controversial, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

I think it would've been funnier as a lightning raffle, lol.
You can't fool me, this is Bad Rats! ModBot told me to trust no one.

Ok, look, I've already said I'm sorry, but I will say it again: I'm sorry everyone, it was just a prank, a one time thing I came up with.
And as I said, I don't have the money to buy it to begin with, but I can buy him something cheaper if he wants.
Also, I'm not entering this giveaway, good luck everyone!

pretty shitty "prank" to pull
I'll chip in $5 by PayPal if someone is actually pooling money together to get that person the game

dat Vista 64-bit growth. The little thing that could.
Yes.
I could ask for some refunds and help with a few bucks
Though the dollar exchange ratio is pretty high these days so I'm not sure if it would help much, and there's the whole region thing which may be a inconvenience :/
