And, grumblers please take notice, all the TDPRI giveaways DO include international members and there have been PLENTY of international winners too.

So, how about taking just a minute to understand the situation? Maybe?

What he said.

Believe it or not, there are actually all kinds of restrictions on contests and lotteries, even if entries are free, and the problem is that the legalese would have to pass muster in, well, every country in the world.

This complaining about being shut out of a potential giveaway strikes me as a tad, well, ungracious.
