Nothing is free. If it requires registration with something I've never heard of, I stay away.
-
It's not working for me. :(
GMG email keeps saying I haven't voted yet. Obviously I have...
-
since I haven't clicked anything here, I'll say up front this could be legit.
But I've heard several times of similar scams. They usually glitch out or require physically buying things to "qualify" for a redeemable coupon that's pretty easy to ignore. They're always structured exactly like this one is described.
...if it sounds too good to be true...
Primary money making source isn't at all the buying of things ... it's selling. Namely, your email. Spammer's lists pay a lot more for a verified working email than for a "seen on the internet somewhere" address.
-
I've already voted a few days ago and received my free game and redeemed it on Steam.
Just use a non primary email address for this if you are worried about having your email spammed. The Golden Joystick Awards voting is a pretty well known event and GreenManGaming is legit.
It's not like I'd post some sketch deal that would steal info or spam your emails. I actually do research and read comments on things before I post to ensure that deals are legit and are actually good deals, unlike some people here.

Green Man Gaming is a great site. I've bought from them several times in the past and have never had an issue, and I received my free game just fine from the promo.
If you've having any issues, make sure you voted on every category and registered on CVG, then head to https://goldenjoysticks.greenmangaming.com/ and register with the same email

Sorry, but due to technical reasons, login is currently unavailable. We're working on it and will restore full functionality as soon as possible. Please try back soon.
This is what I got after submitting my votes.

Thanks for sharing ;D
-
I signed up and voted but the email with the game code takes me to a page saying I didn't vote. Whatever.

I got the same, tried a few times with the same result. So I tried a scrap twitter account I have and that let me continue, now just waiting for the 24 hours for them to record the votes.
Thanks for the heads up Miss : )

@ the people who are complaining about their vote not being counted:
"7. Check your email
You will receive a "Redeem your Free Game" email; however if you try the confirmation link before waiting 24 hours it may say that you have not voted yet"
Please L2read.

I got my code after I came home from work even though I only managed to submit one vote. Also, I've purchased a couple games from GMG and haven't had any issues activating codes on Steam. They often have pre-order discounts that beat the prices on Steam. :thumb:
-
Thanks for the heads up! Got my code within an hour of taking the survey
-
Not sure what im doing wrong? But i dont get any red text :(
(Think im on the right page?)

I never had the text saying anything about redeeming a code. I just had it say that I was entered for a drawing for a free iPad.
EDIT: Poo. Looks like they aren't giving out codes any more - http://www.computerandvideogames.com/433659/blog/update-on-the-golden-joysticks-free-game-reward/

Boo ! :'(

As soon as I get my third copy, if my friend doesn't want it, then sure. I just have to get it. I'd say wait until this time tomorrow.

Got mine, cheers miss
Awesome, enjoy!
Glad some people are being smart when it comes to signing up and appreciative rather than snarky. Ironic really when they got someone else to do the work for them and get them the free game anyways.
-
still nothing, only I could **** up getting something free >.>

I tried mine after 24 hours and still nothing, in fact after this post was locked. It came through after about 32, 33 hours. Before then it just said it hadn't registered but I was still on the list, or something like that.

I had to redo the survey, but using the same account to get it.
