You can repeat it as much as you want. It won't become better. Maybe this works on Reddit or so. LOL.

Most of the historical issues with Kinguin are because of Kinguin. That's not an unreasonable presumption to make.

Personal anecdotes don't really count. Just because I haven't been hit by a car my whole life doesn't mean car-pedestrian fatalities don't happen.

If Dredge is available on GOG directly, why do people have to go through Kinguin to buy it? The extra headache or worry that the game might disappear in a few months is not worth the extra amount one saves through Kinguin even if it's something as low as 0.5% (estimated) of the site selling fraudulent keys, especially GOG users who presumably prioritize game ownership. Anyone with an average salary wouldn't take the extra risk.

Plus, there's other moral issues like devs not being paid fairly (even if some of them are selling through G2A since the cuts are higher for personal gain) and exploiting regional pricing. Ethically and morally, you might as well sail the 7 seas instead if cannot afford buying from GOG directly.

Damn you really wrote all of that based on a strawman argument


And once again, same logic applies to buying used on community marketplaces, like Facebook Marketplace re: why people buy on G2A, Kenguin, etc.

If you knew it was a strawman argument, why did you even post it in the first place?

You're the one making the strawman argument. I never argued bad keys didn't exist/didn't happen on Kinguin, yet you wrote a reply as if I did.

The reading comprehension of GOG users is abysmal. This is quite sad.

You're implying buying from Kinguin is safe from buying hundreds of keys despite it not being so. Otherwise, you wouldn't have mentioned it. It doesn't change my argument in any way.

Again, buying from community marketplaces for used goods runs the same risks. Why buy used anything then?
I also explicitly mentioned that the cries of keys being from stolen credit cards is blown out of proportion, not non-existent, which is completely different to your metaphor here:

Please learn to read. Have a good day.
The intersting thing though, is that the OP has the game in his library as others keep typing and has had it for quite some time. He, as we say, got his problem solved then dipped/bounced like a smart lad. So, he's probably content at the moment. All the rest of the banter...well. pffft.....kinda irrelevant to the OP now. 2 key or not 2 Key.....???????? Most of the Keys are unused Prime codes at this point. That's exactly why the OP had problems with Dredge...because GOG can't handle Prime codes well. It wasn't Kinguin....this time.

sadlyrematch: Same logic can be applied to buying stuff on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Mercari, etc. and then the cops come and take your snowboard away, and you're out $500 (this is just one of hundreds example I've seen, off the top of my head).

Yeah the funniest part about all of this is that I was right about the original issue too lol
It was an issue with GOG's backend. Happened with actual games bought from GOG too, but the NPCs in this thread don't want to acknowledge that lol

Your inability to read and denial is not my fault. It's the exact same thing, otherwise there wouldn't be additional laws in recent years to help combat stolen goods being sold on those sites.

It isn't about acknowledging that it might work or not. It is your garbage you are spouting and keep repeating here. Those keys might work. If you actually have read the support pages then you would see that GOG doesn't give a guarantee that those keys actually work. I linked several examples where it failed. The person who is ignorant here is you. LOL.

I never stated they did, in fact, I've been pretty clear that not ALL keys will work/are legit, multiple times. If you two are just going to make strawman after strawman, arguing against stuff I've NEVER stated in this thread, then I'm done. Hopefully one day you two will be able to read beyond a first grade level.

You both still have yet to make actual rebuttals against my arguments comparing G2A, Kinguin, to sites like Craigslist, and ignore evidence proving my claims.

I don't want any part of any debate because I'm not in that kind of mood. However, what is the difference in buying a key from a reseller as opposed to accepting a key from a community sponsored giveaway? We don't know where they got those codes, whether the gifter is reputable, whether a publisher/dev got paid, etc. You could end up getting screwed by the "community" just as easily. I see a lot of misplaced faith and hope because almost everyone here will glady take community giveaway keys.
