Selling your games.

[slipd]

Hey guys,

I've got a couple of recent-ish game purchases I'd like to get rid of; clear a bit of space of the shelf etc.

Ones far cry 2 (can't believe I wasted c60hrs of my life on this one!) and the others fallout 3 (I've pre-ordered the goty edition). I've also got a few older titles which I'm not so worried about - iirc, some of them don't even have keys?

Now, I know far cry 2 let me de-activate it or whatever when I came to uninstall it, so is it safe to assume that this ones okay to sell/give away and that the new owner won't have any issues installing it because of serials/protection/activation etc? What about fallout; I don't really want to uninstall that because of all my mods/saves... Do I even need to 'de-activate' this one to sell it?

Any thoughts?

Cheers!

Fallout 3 is currently installed under your old serial key, which you want to sell, so unless you can change the serial key it is installed under, you'll need to uninstall.

When it comes to all your mods/save games I suggest you find where they are stored and back them up first.

Good point! I didn't think of it that

So to stay within the law, I'll need to uninstall first anyway.

Does anyone know if f3 lets you de-activate it during uninstalling?
