And the game is fun!

Spending money on the game just to get the achievement and then not getting a gift for the achievement because of steam messing up is not, however fun.

Dont buy games for an achievement. Buy games because they are worth playing.

No purchase from Steam is necessary to enter the contest. If you just want contest entries, you are better off doing this rather than buying games.

(c) Alternate Entry. To manually enter for both Objectives prizes and the Epic Holiday Giveaway, each eligible entrant must print his or her name, address, city, state, country, postal code, email address, Steam account name, and telephone number, as well as the name of the Objective that the entry is for, on a self-addressed 4”x6” note card and mail the completed form to: Valve Corporation, P.O. Box 1688, Bellevue, WA 98009-1688. Note cards may be mailed as postcards or in envelopes. No e-mailed or faxed alternate entries are eligible. Facsimiles, photocopies or mechanical reproductions of entries will be void. An alternate entry must be postmarked during the Holiday Sale Period to be eligible. Each alternate entry must be postmarked during the Holiday Sales Period and no earlier than the date on which the applicable Objective was revealed. Alternate entries received after January 9, 2012 will not be eligible. Each user may submit one alternate entry per Objective. Proof of sending or submitting an alternate entry is not proof of receipt of such alternate entry. Coal received as a result of the alternate entry process cannot be redeemed as a Gift since the drawing is after the end of the Holiday Sale Period, and such Coal will only be treated as entries to the Sweepstakes.

A stamp is currently 44 cents. Never, ever buy a game you don't want just to get some stupid achievement. The alternate entry method will cost less both in time and money.

Yea, send them a letter. That's more fun than playing a game.

The premise is that the person purchased a game they don't really want just to get an achievement/gift, therefore the game isn't fun.

I bought the game, and I got the achievement from your guide, Grawlie. Thank you!

The game is very weird, but I'm sailing around on my raft now. I think I'll keep playing it. I want to see what happens.
