I'm talking about the 10 copies of the game by the owner of the Mount&Blade II Bannerlord steam group which at the moment has a bit more than 69.000 members (I think the number is getting lower since the group appears to be locked and dead). Was it all just a prank? PR stunt with no real intent ever of being realized? Found a saved screenshot of one of the tens of announcements promoting the giveaway, most of which are now hidden away or deleted, along with the discussion thread with around 4.000 responses from people wanting to receive a game copy.
I tried to state in the title of the topic ''fan-made'' in an attempt to make that clearer, but it's kinda hard when the group name itself sound kinda official, unlike some server community named ''Minisiege'' or a clan named ''Knights of Vlandia''. I've not been able to contact the group owner, and it appears s/he's been swapping Steam accounts back and forth. I tried to join their discord server but the link appears broken too. So I was hoping for someone else here to provide some better perspective.
