IAmSinistar: Well, I'd hate not to contribute to the inaugural giveaway, so I've sent the foxy one another
Paper Sorcerer key to help meet the demand.
Glad to see so many folks want it, it's one of the better games I've played since getting back into PC gaming.
foxworks: Received! Looks like I'll be spared and able to conduct the next giveaway! :D
Here's another thing for your next giveaway. It is actually a response to your thread
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/spring_insomnia_promo_tracker/post16083 I meant to reply you earlier, but my misadventure with steam gifting delayed me. I also think it is better to reply to this thread instead of the insomnia thread as it is more related with this thread.
Shortest Version
Check your PM for gifts. One of it is a Steam gift that cannot be converted into keys. I need to E-mail / Steam ID of the winner to gift it.
Short Version
I am reluctant to give out steam keys because it indirectly support steam, but I get a gift copy to share Epic Battle Fantasy 4 from steam because I want to support a developer Matt Roszak
http://kupogames.com/
Then after researching, I found out that steam does not give gift codes and I need to E-mail or Steam ID of the people I want to gift to if I want to give it out. After more research I found I can get the game gift from Humble Bundle with a method that is less visible (Maybe steam pressure?). Problems arise because buying multiple copies of the same game mark me as suspicious (Wanted the DRM free version for me and friend in addition to gifting).
Clear that up and now I have two copies of the game to contribute with one DRM free + Steam Key and another one Steam only but need recipient e-mail / steam id. For the steam only version gifting is more difficult because I have to check this thread / PM who should have it and I am too lazy to check every day.
Long Version
I am somewhat reluctant to give out steam keys because it would mean indirectly support steam, but I break my rules and get a gift copy of Epic Battle Fantasy 4 from steam because I want to support a developer Matt Roszak
http://kupogames.com/
I support him because instead of crying of the indie bubble and whatnot, he creates a string of good games that are TRUELY FREE to play WITHOUT MICRO TRANSACTION for time wall, difficulty wall, grind wall to build up his reputation and loyal fan base.
This game visual is colorful and aesthetically pleasing, story humorous, game play wizardry like and……
I am not the greatest reviewer so head over the link below and see all the good things people say about him
http://store.steampowered.com/app/265610/
If you see the review section, from all 138 review, only 1 review is not recommended, which is quite rare to see in steam.
That attests to his popularity and game quality.
You can check his other TRUE Free to play games in Kongregate. Even Epic Battle Fantasy 4 free to play version with less content does not diminish game play experience.
http://www.kongregate.com/games/kupo707/epic-battle-fantasy-4 I can vouch for that because I only play the old Kongeregate Premium version before it come to steam and did not play steam version due to time constrain. (Brief playing the steam version to check new feature does not count)
When I get it as a steam gift, I find that I do not have the keys!!!!!! I must gift it to e-mail or steam ID account. This makes gifting difficult as I cannot drop a key and be done with it, I must ask who is the winner of this thread and get their e-mail / steam ID to gift it to them. I am lazy to check this often so it will be a few days before I response to the winner.
Congratulation steam, you make me reluctant to support you even more, serves me right breaking my rule and supporting you.
I then research if there other platform that is more gift friendly, as fellow GOGer should not suffer steam, and is presently surprised that it has the DRM free version on Matt Humble Bundle Widget. Humble Bundle does not sell the game directly so you cannot find it at the Humble Bundle Store. You have to get it from the developer website Humble Bundle Widget, and it will be added to your Humble Bundle Library. (It may be hidden due to steam pressure?)

Anyway I get another DRM free copy for myself and a fellow GOGer. I tried to buy the third for this gifting thread and got
“Sorry, your Epic Battle Fantasy 4 order has been canceled.
We have received too many purchase requests from you in a short period of time, so we have canceled your order (you will not be charged).”
Well I have to go through another round of clarification and waiting before finally snagged this. Hence this much delays.
Now I have 2 copies of this game to gift, one the DRM free + Steam Key version from humble bundle and another Steam only version.
If you are entitled to the Steam only version you may experience a delay as Foxworks have to decide who to gift, and Foxworks will PM me. After I notice his PM I will ask for your e-mail / steam ID. After you notice my PM you give me your particular. Then after I notice your PM I will finally sent the gift on your way, awaiting your notice…… Oh Steam I dislike you even more.
Anyway I spend a considerable effort to secure these copies, hope you find a nice home for them.
