Given to the son of an acquaintance, who apparently removed his son's steam account training wheels, except it seems not as much as I assumed and his dad flagged this as unsuitable for a 13 year old 🤷‍♂️. Not seeing it myself but perhaps I'm too old seared by years of mature video games (nods eagerly yes that's a better reason). It seems a few of the other keys I sent his way will be on their way back soon too. Wonderful 😬.

This was a reward from this year's Gamescom experience thingie.

Some 13 year olds are more able to handle certain things without causing nightmares than others. Some kids could handle this game at age 4, and others would be fine, until you try to get them to sleep and they wake up at 2am and the house creaked and the neighbors dog is barking and hey now no one is sleeping.

That seems reasonable, you never know what other people's triggers might be. Still I noticed last week he's got Doom (2016) in his account. Officially confused 🤔 but hey, he's not my kid 🤷‍♂️.

In my experience it's not even a linear function in the same child. Perhaps because 3 year olds have no concept of death, it isn't scary to them, etc. Disclaimer: your results may vary on this one.

So given what you've said here and in the last couple, there's a way to check that a key is unactivated? What's the trick, I've wanted to be able to check for a long time.

The only things I've seen is trying to activate it, either in your own account, or testing it with steamdb (which might activate the key there if it's one they don't have).

Sadly no trick, these keys are simply the ones returned to me by people I trust and have demonstrated that trust in the past 🤷‍♂️. A few other keys were returned but I have less confidence in those people based on past "accidents" so those keys go into my "dunno" 🤔 list until I decided what to do with them.

That's too bad, I have a few dunno keys like that myself and was hoping there was a solution.

Gift them in low risk environments where no one minds if it doesn't work.

It's funny how a site dedicated to giving away games could have "high risk" zones.
