I've never had any issues with DiG even when I've had to write support. I always had a fix soon afterwards. Yeah, usually shiite bundles with hardly ever any +1's or card drops but in the end, they only cost pennies for what you get in most cases. Losing paypal doesn't help but in my case no problem.

As they say...if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it. Game on!! 🎮🎮

shovelware games. i don't buy garbage. skip

I'll try to sum up some DIG info taken from my experience of creating DIG threads for the past 4-5 years. This is by no means to be interpreted as you or nigelt74 shouldn't open DIG threads in the future - I know I will not.

The games DIG bundle fall into 4 categories:

• Their own games: mostly adult games that they spam like crazy (around 213 games + DLCs as of now) and which they publish under different names EroticGamesClub, DIG Publishing, Lolita LineArt, exosyphen studios (only the latter are their original games, from the Hacker Evolution series)

• Games that they buy from Russian key shops (instances of lequeshop), that they resell for 3 times the price - these constitute I'd say 90% of their bundle content; for these they do not have an agreement with the devs, but I guess most of them don't really mind that, since they rarely complain). I've spent a considerable amount of time tracking the quantities on these sites before and after a DIG bundle was released (will not post here logs, they're too long), and I saw a pattern that was common to most DIG bundles, namely that 2-3 days before a DIG bundle launched, the quantities on lequeshop featured in those bundles all decreased by the same amount (usually 50-100). So unless some other entity somehow buys the exact same games as DIG bundles 2 days later AND buys the same amounts from each of them, I don't see what other explanation could be apart from DIG just reselling these lequeshop games.

• Humble Bundle games that are cheap on grey market, also selling them per their common pattern of 3x the price. They certainly do not have contracts with AAA companies to bundle their games, as Fanatical / Humble Bundle do. Funnily enough, they sometimes bundle games given away on Humble Bundle, probably botted by some other party (not necessarily DIG) and sold on grey markets or on lequeshop. These usually have expiration dates but the DIG owner is just too lazy to even check if these keys they bundle are even valid still.

• Games that they get from the developers. DIG spams emails to all developers that publish a new game, asking for 50-100 keys. A lot of these devs are already aware of the bad reputation that DIG has, but some of them fall prey to the idea that they could get more customers interested in their game if it's bundled. In reality, this just flags the game as "trash" because DIG bundles mostly... trash games. These cases are indeed contractual, DIG receives the keys from developers and sells them in bundles or on their marketplace, and they also open an account for that developer to cash out their revenue. I've talked to several developers that did agree to have their games listed on the DIG platform, and they pointed out that the revenue is extremely small (just a few cents per games) so overall it's not worth bothering. There were also some that confirmed the fact that they did NOT give any authorization to DIG to sell their keys (example Team Syukino games and the recently revoked Frag Grounds from DIG Weekly Bundle 208, which confirms again that DIG resells from somewhere.

Some other things to note:

• DIG constantly swaps out games from bundles without any prior announcement; this happens sometimes to the extent that the full bundle gets replaced over time with new keys
• Duplicate keys that could indicate that the keys they bundle are not coming directly from the developer / publisher
  https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/5HTGVgd (I think Graffiti Games might actually be the only decent publisher that they have agreements with, but hat's just because they're desperate to bundle their games anywhere possible)
• Key mix ups (the key activates a different game than the one advertised). Example: https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/PSdQMuu
• Terrible customer support - many people (myself included) witness an increased degree of unprofessionalism in the customer support replies that they received from DIG. Some luckier ones didn't have to go through this ordeal of being insulted or threatened with their account being closed on DIG.
• Already revealed keys disappear from your account after a while. It's part of DIG's routine to keep the database entries to a minimum, except... you don't get a notification to save those keys before that happens. If you ask for a list of games you purchased from them, they just send you a CSV with the key names but not with the corresponding game names, just to troll you.
• DIG removing games as they see fit from your purchased ones, of course without any notice: https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/r77uw1T
• According to this thread, DIG deletes your account if you don't login for a year (probably without any prior notice)
• My own post about why I don't want to spend time on creating threads for them any more

On the positive side, some people are happy customers and didn't encounter much issues with their purchases. While the sources of DIG keys are still questionable, some just don't mind that as long as they're cheaper than buying them directly from the Steam store. And lastly, collectors are usually happy to buy DIG bundles because of those rare-ish cases when DIG actually bundles a newly released game based on real agreements with the developers.
