Do NOT buy from G2Play!

They didn't use a keygen, they got their keys from a source other than the official site or D2D, from a source you could never even think of and certainly the good folk at Fallen Earth wouldn't want you to know about (or their publisher wouldn't want Fallen Earth team to know about).

Where's that then? If you're going to refute an argument, lets have some facts.
 
The thing with this key revoking is that Valve have had no issue in the past with just banning keys for being the wrong region and saying so, so if these keys are really just coming from another region, surely Valve would be replying with 'your key isnt valid for your region' not 'you bought from an unauthorised seller'? So there must be something different about G2Play keys that allows Valve to identify them as such, rather than just give the usual wrong region response as it would do if you imported a copy.

At least OKS keys that were banned all had the same first five characters in the key code (well there were few different five letter combinations). Activision probably knows exactly where such keys were delivered in the first place so they just ban the whole bunch and hope no one managed to buy a physical copy with one of those keys.

It's not just G2Play or OKS either, they have banned plenty of keys sold in at least five other shops.
 
activision did the same for the last COD game aswell.

its just greed ofcourse the keys arent stolen how do they manage to infiltrate all these game devs and steal the keys for virtually everygame under the sun....

they are cheaper to buy in there country so they buy them and sell them on the internet for profit to richer countries whos people are still getting a "cheap" game.

ive had guild wars , wow keys and all sorts from cdkey selling sites and never had a problem and generally paid half of what the actual publisher/devs own digital distribution site sold them for

I don't know. How could I know? You don't know that either and as I said, the company that created the game probably doesn't either. I would ask the publishers but they wouldn't respond anyway. I just know they sure as heck didn't use a keygen.

You're making an awful lot of assumptions about how they check their keys. Their online authentication might just be limited to the username and password. There mightn't be any online key authentication at all.

And I've already said twice in this thread how there were only two sources of keys at the time. People seem awfully ready to defend these guys, but nobody has an answer as to where they might have gotten their keys from.
 
The thing that worries me more than the past history of dodgy, arguably stolen keys is just the way they conduct contact through a webmail service and they actively hide their identity via some suspect Malaysian outfit.

I wouldn't buy anything else from a website like that, serial keys are no different.

They buy them from Asia; keygen, lol. :p

Snowdog and Phinor, are talking about the real issue here.
 
Got a few codes from G2Play, never had a problem. I haven't bought MW2 though, was waiting on a steam deal of the week! even if it takes 6 months to arrive!
 
Always thought that place looked a bit *****

Undercutting Steam, and then letting Valve take the bandwidth costs.

You can hardly blame them for revoking the keys.

You can buy games from places other than Steam and use the cd key to activate them on Steam though right? Dawn of War 2 for example can be found cheaper, here's the list.

CoD MW 2 is on there.

I suppose it's a possibility that they don't have online authentication for their online game at all but that would be really, really weird. If there was a keygen and they didn't use an online check, the keygen would be all over the Internet.

But I really do have no answer as to where they might have gotten their keys. G2Play certainly wasn't the only shop to sell Fallen Earth for a very low price.
 
I have purchased lots of keys from G2PLAY, fortunately not MW2. Seems to me like Activision/Steam is very greedy and don't like the idea of people selling keys from different regions for much less than what we pay here. They want to keep price discrimination in richer countries as they can get away with it.

Hope those with MW2 keys get a suitable resolution to this.
 
Be interesting to know G2play resolve this for you.

Glad I don't have any interest in using Steam, even more so now. Especially as they have disabled your offline game ability too for MW2.

Oh read the bloody thread :rolleyes:

What do you mean?
I'll save you having to go looking back...

Here, the thread, nor you, have mentioned fallen Earth.
It seems pretty stupid that Steam tie the game to their services and then decide what keys they will and won't allow, seems like they're just completely dominating the market by force, which is completely ridiculous. Fair enough they might of contracted the thing, but if this keeps up and they do it for all the major titles, they're going to ruin the games market for anyone who just wants to play the game without Steam.
Your response...
You have no idea where those keys are coming from though. They might be using a keygen for all you know. Just because bob on the forums says they're Russian doesn't make it so.


I did suggest they use keygen'd keys, but only in respect of Fallen Earth, since at the time there was nowhere to get valid keys cheap from.
Lie, consiously or unconsiously though still false, your quote above this one proves this. Maybe you, should re-read what you posted and in what context.

I will handy hock on one point, that in my generalisation of keys coming from Asia, I may of overlooked that you were then, only talking about Fallen earth in regards to Keygens.
