Heya,

I just won a game and screwed up the activation.. didn´t notice that a friends account was still logged in on my computer, so I accidently activated the key for his account..

I´m now planning to wait for the winter sale and buy the game for myself (hopefully with a fat discount). I will explain this to the GA-creator und mark it as received after I bought the game. Just wanted to ask you guys if there is any other/better way to handle this.

..and here is a giveaway to celebrate my stupidity xD


Edit: Thanks for the answers! I found an active and cheap bundle with the game. Problem solved ;)

What's the game? You might be able to trade for it if it was bundled.

You could try trading the game as well, if it's a bundlegame, lots of people will have leftovers. ^^

I commend you. :)
Technically you have a week to reply, the solution you proposed seems promising.
Good luck!

Just admit you didn't wish to ruin that perfect 1500 :P
Seriously, what game was it? Trading for it seems more reasonable in most cases.

Or try tremorgames if it's a bundle game.

I made the same mistake with a giveaway for bang bang racing.
Activated on the wrong account :(

Might buy it someday to remove the blemish from the account, but it just seems like a waste of resources since I didn't like the game.

At least it wasn't on purpose. Good luck getting a replacement I hope it works out all right.

Sale should start on Tuesday, and with no daily/flash sales, at least you'll get it for the lowest price the first day.

Seems your solution should work out fine if you can't trade for it before then. :P
