As of this posting, such games are and presumably will be added to the bundle list, and only region-restricted copies will be disallowed. Thank you.

There is NO cheating chance at all now, steam games from CD-Action have keys printed on DVD now, so there is no way of someone stealing it from their site now.

It's true for new keys, but there are those that are on the website that becomes available to register on Steam from time to time. That's what happened recently with Tales of Valor. Fortunately, they're out of keys now.

Well I agree with regard to keys they give as a backfilling presumably for people who bought given magazine when it did not yet include a steam key for given game (the same way you sometimes get steam keys for some stuff you bought way back on Desura or some bundle). Because they tend not to check if whoever asks for the key actually has bought a relevant copy of the magazine so random f*rs pick them up sometimes in large quantities.

But if down the road you intend to include actual DVD printed keys then that's just silly.

The announcement isn't very clear with that regard though. I'm guessing you only mean keys occasionally given out on their website without any verification so they are abused. But again, it's not clear.

if they mean the abused ones they're exploited and the relevant rules seem like they should apply? the only reason I can think of why make them allowed except it takes too much time to stop they way they were?(edit-actually 9hrs ago...that looks like it since the announcement came when the flood started lol so nevermind I do understand, too bad they couldn't handle it if thats what they mean(good luck support, sorry for report spam you're getting. it'll clear up soon hopefully))

do you by this mean any games that are added to magazine with physical copies (and cannot get keys via site), or only ones that can be exploited from their site?

As far as I know, we've never had problems except with the ones that were available online. Otherwise, no one even notices because there's not a horde of jackasses trying to exploit it for value. The only exception might be with the occasional region-locked ones, which can cause a hitch now and then.

Two facts mate. The CD-Action code for the game was indeed imprinted on DVD sold with the magazine. Yet, there is a automatic key sender now on the Web site of CDA in section "seriale".

What he means is that they no longer put keys on that page with automatic sender. All keys are imprinted on DVDs now.

You are wrong. I checked the web site today and it's automatic sender.

Comment has been collapsed.

I am not wrong. You just don't understand what we say. Yes, there is an automatic sender but the keys that are available to get there are for games that were bundled with the magazine in the past. They don't add any new games (new keys) to that site.

I never implied that there are any keys to games that are new/newly added to the magazine. How did you get that impression? Nevertheless these keys/games are ment to be sold with the magazine, not just stolen by some exploiters with multiple accounts.

What is the difference these keys from those of the present THQ bundle?

1 decade ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

The ones form THQ bundle you have to buy, CD-Action keys are exploted/stolen as the keys should be available only to the customer who bought the magazine. At least that is the policy of CD-Action stated on EVERY SINGLE DVD.

Tales of Valor was in 3/2012.Since then, the keys are on the steam added to the magazine.Over the few games on the site are those of the magazine to be treated equally?

Even those that are imprinted on the DVD if you buy the magazine? That is not fair. At all.

You need to differentiate between those on cdaction.pl website which everyone can get and those that you get from buying a magazine for its full price. It'll be fair only then.

No (realistic) way to check on every key of them,nothing else with every bundle list game.

unfortunately they don't do that for any other game on the bundle list(no matter how long ago or how distinctive the keys may or may not be(the component games from hib1's fused key for instance)), it sounds like its not possible(no manpower to send your receipts to ect)

I think you misunderstood. Every time a new issue comes out with a Steam game the cd-key is imprinted on the DVD. Keys on the site are sometimes added for previous full versions they put on DVD's which weren't Steamworks. So it's like a bonus for people who had bought a certain issue. And it doesn't happen often. Games like Painkiller: Hell & Damnation or Front Mission Evolved are legit because they imprinted the key on DVD's. So you have to buy the magazine to get the cd-key. I don't see any reason why those games would be added to the bundle list.

oh, yeah i did. i thought he meant the ones that were exploitable(before they went to cds) having support clear people who can prove they got it from the magazine legitimately lol. read it too fast

If you mean other steam games that are being added to the magazine, with the only way to get the key by gettin it from the DVD (like Front Mission Evolved for example), I don't think they will be added to the bundle list. Why would they be?

your thievery is over :) go to hell people and have a nice day :)

btw - i hope new magazine games will be allowed, for many months every single Steam game is added to dvd-disc and there are special unique key for every customer from Poland = no way to exploit keys from magazine homepage.

Any idea why this giveaway was deleted?

http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/n6xNU/company-of-heroes-tales-of-valor

How is this particular one more exploited than the other hundreds like it? Just wondering... it doesn't make sense to me.

Anyone giving away more than one copy is assumed to be exploiting the offer. Their giveaways are deleted and the user suspended unless they can provide proof of purchase.

If you see any users doing this, please report them.

But there are plenty of people giving away more than one, just not in a single giveaway. I had a look though the giveaways I entered and I found 3 just on the first page.

I've said this in another thread that got deleted for some reason, but if you don't want people to give more than one, why not get rid of the incentive, the "first $25 bundled counts as nonbundled" policy? That way, knowing they won't get a cent unless they give away something else, they won't be so keen of exploiting keys.

Those 3 that are open were created since I last checked about an hour ago. We volunteer our free time to do this. We can't be available 24/7, refreshing the giveaways every 5 minutes. That's why user reports/support tickets exist.

OK, I understand, I reported 3 of them right now, not double copy giveaways, but giveaways for a second copy of CoH.
