If his game is good then the word-of-mouth and people seeing their Steam friends playing it could earn many more sales than he'll lose. How many people do you think would have heard about the game without this promotion?Mr_Elysia said:No. Rest assured this is going to be a loss on his end. Not everyone getting a free key would have bought the game. But he's losing hundreds to potentially thousands of sales. It's not clever. It's just a nice thing to do.
