So, funny story. If you guys remember from earlier today, I gave away a few of my extra copies that I found on my Steam. This included EP1, EP2, Hl2, and Hl2: Deathmatch. Now, I had already given away my copy of EP2 to someone who snagged the offer in the nick of time. After all of that, I got a PM from a fellow FP'er by the name of IceTea. Don't know if you guys know him on here, but he told me he'd throw in a CD key to MW2 if I gave him a copy of EP2. This is something I didn't wanna pass up, so given that I had already handed out my EP2 copy, I decided to purchase another ($14.99) for this guy. I charged it to my card on Steam and sent it as a gift from the purchase itself. I check my "manage gifts and purchases" window, and it reads "Redeemed" on his gift. I wait a few minutes, I send the guy a chat message on Steam to ask if he received it, he tells me "no." Okay, cool. I'll wait a few more minutes. Time goes by, I ask again. Still "no." So at this point, I'm getting kind of annoyed and suspicious. I make sure it's "Redeemed" and wait around some more. Still nothing. So I check this guy's Steam ID page, and I go to his "games" tab. Well what do you know folks, he's got EP2! Oh, it also has no game time played on it (just downloaded it). Also in recent Steam Community news, he now today "owns EP2". What a fucking kawinkydink. Yet...he still claims to of not received my generous gift. Now, if you're reading this IceTea (and I know you're on fucking Facepunch, you just posted under an hour ago), all I want is my CD key that you promised. I bought you this damn thing, now deliver your end of the bargain. Check out some pictures!

Promised MW2 CD Key for EP2. P.S. No one claimed my extra copy of HL2: Deathmatch, who wants it?
Trusting people on the internet is a very bad idea.
Well, as a fair reminder, you were GIFTING it, you shouldn't have expected any reward for deed.
I'll take HL2 DM.
Not much you can do. That's the problem with stuff like this, relies on the decency of others. Although I was disappointed, when I saw the title I thought it was going to be about Iced Tea :(
Pretty dumb of you to actually BUY the game, especially when you don't even know the guy. Should've also checked out his page before gifting. Oh well, I hope you get your MW2.
I'll take the extra HL2 DM copy Fuck!
[QUOTE=solid_jake;20865674]Well, as a fair reminder, you were GIFTING it, you shouldn't have expected any reward for deed.[/QUOTE] Yes he should. He made a deal with the guy, what an asshole.
[QUOTE=xXGatorXx;20865717]I'll take the extra HL2 DM copy[/QUOTE] Already taken. Sorry man.
I want Deathmatch! [editline]10:51PM[/editline] Fuck
I remember way back when the marketplace was still on the frontpage that same guy scammed me. He promised me two games for one key to download some game via the EADM, gave me the first one which was cheapest (~$5), I gave him the key, and he blocked me.
You=Shit out of luck. I fell bad for you, trusting in humanity and all then having that trust smashed, so have a picture of this happy watermelon. [img]http://fibrohaven.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/watermelon_smile.jpg[/img]
why would you think someone would give you a $60 game in exchange for a $15 one? I mean seriously? Were you thinking?
Also, if you guys still need HL2:DM Nvidia Card- [url]http://www.steampowered.com/nvidia/[/url] Ati Card- [url]http://www.steampowered.com/ati_offer1a/[/url]
Sorry to hear that man, you seem like a really nice guy and all, but I'm afraid the only obligation he's under to gift you this game is one of human decency, and I'm afraid this guy appears to have a severe deficiency in moral fiber.
Fuck. I won it then realized I already have it. I guess its up for grabs again?
Trust is good to have, unless you are trading online. And, wasn't it supposed to be a gift, not a trade?
[QUOTE=st ef you;20865858]Trust is good to have, unless you are trading online. And, wasn't it supposed to be a gift, not a trade?[/QUOTE] It was only a gift until after he OFFERED the trade.
redeem your stupidity with gifting me bad company 2

shouldn't you post this in that gift giving thread, since it most likely happened there in the first place. wow it's your fault for trusting him, who would really trade a copy of mw2 with ep2
[QUOTE=Beardy;20866065]shouldn't you post this in that gift giving thread, since it most likely happened there in the first place.[/QUOTE] No. I originally made a thread about the whole thing.
