Or just on steamgifts? I think i traded for one, and i am scared to use it if they are banned by valve...

For people that don't know.

Before, Pre-ordering Bioshock Infinite in amazon gives you 15$? coupon for 2k games immediately, then you can get games in february for free because some are on sale. People abused it by cancelling pre-order then pre-ordering it again, getting a new coupon.

I don't think its should be in the exploit list because it was patched fast.

IIRC Amazon doesn't have the power to tell steam to deactivate keys. But what they did is they banned those amazon accounts that exploited it (as well as CC ban, but we are not sure).

btw FYI, I asked GMG, they have the power to deactivate steam keys, I don't know why amazon can't do it

Bioshock keys are not on the exploited list at all, where did you hear that they were?

There were many exploited games from Amazon (Bioshock Infinite promo), like Max Payne 3, Civ 4,5, Spec Ops etc, so probably Bioshocks were too. But AFAIK it's safe to use them.

People grabbed dozens of these keys, some SG users boosted their contribution for 600$ or more.

I guess I didn't noticed those users since I already owned those 2k games in the bundle

i have seen some people grabbed a bunch of stuff from it.
from bundle games to tons of max payne 3 and other assorted 2k games
and those max payne giveaways started at the time of the exploit

Amazon will not remove keys
The games that were exploited the most were Max Payne 3 and NBA 2k13. I would not worry about Bioshock at all - they aren't in high demand anyways due to having been free for a day in January on Amazon.

It's got nothing to do with Bioshock infinite pre-order. The BS 1&2 have been on sale several times for a very cheap price, and a lot of people bought them. That's why there's so many Bioshock, they're not exploited, they're paid for!

Yeah, true that. :D
I'm just saying there were a lot of Bioshock giveaways even before that amazon offer.

Amazon will not be revoking the keys that were obtained in this way. I'm sure someone less lazy than me will come along with the source for that sometime today.
