I sure did not get a key, and I check the giveaway page multiple times a day... I guess this is what I get for not spamming the giveaway page, and actually playing games.
After finding out the keys were gone, I did a simple search for Kingdom Wars 4 Steam Key Giveway. There were a ton of web pages with "Make a free Alienware Arena account, get the game for free". I wonder just how many new accounts were created to get those keys? Will any of those new account owners will even consider purchasing an Alienware unit? Probably not. And they certainly won't be buying Alienwares for each account that they created...
I would not care so much if the keys were unlimited, and if the load screen for the giveaway page did not taunt me with a notification saying that the keys are all gone. Until the next giveaway, I am doomed to see that a game that I would have really enjoyed playing is not available to me through the Alienware Arena giveaways.
It is abysmally dissapointing that the only giveaways that I seem to be able to score are cosmetics, dlc, and boosters for "free" to play games in the couple of months since I registered my Alienware and created my Alienware Arena account. Yup, I could score those kind of keys because they cannot be flipped for some quick easy cash.
Would it be possible to give registered Alienware owners a window of opportunity, say 24 hours, to have a chance of being rewarded with scoring one of the limited keys before the giveaway is posted to the general public?
And if that is not possible, change the way the giveaway page loads, so the first thing that I see is something other than the opportunity that I missed?
