I didn't want to do it that way. It's more I have a retail key which I paid a lot of money for years ago that should work. It's naff that I should be pushed towards a dodgy OEM key.

More fool you for paying full price to scum like M$ then. Surely your time was worth more to you than £4.85 and a 12 minute install? After all, you bought that key years ago like you said, so you've had your use out of it.

Do you pay full price for all your games off steam etc then? Or do you buy keys off sites, like 99% of this forum does? As I'd rather give the game devs money vs M$...

In that case you might as well pirate it but can’t promote that here.

A legit key or nothing. I’m still not sure if they keys on these key sites are even legit.

There’s been no proof either way as of yet but these cd key sites don’t get shut down yet they sell the product.

How do these pirates do it? Not that I would.

It’s more the fact that buying a key that’s not legit breaks the software EULA. While not by law a problem it’s no different really to pirating an OS.

Nothing will come of it though don’t think Microsoft actually care any more because they will make more money from you by harvesting your data.

Consumers are the product. A lot of money now is made through subscriptions and businesses and selling OEM licences via having the OS pre-installed.

No one knows wether they are or aren't legit, genuinely though...

I did see something hilarious awhile ago, Running With Scissors, said "we'd rather you pirate the game and we get nothing than one of these cd key sites make money off us!" :cry:

Who knows, maybe the reason they not been shut down is maybe the companies might take a cut for them selling keys? I dunno who knows?

That’s a good point. Someone’s making money but how are they getting working keys is the question.

Yeah blatant back handers for them falling off the back of a truck. Everyone uses them for games/windows on every forum. At least it isn't someone else's key vs a pirated key leaked though, and when it is, 2 people can't use it, hence why these sites offer quick QC and send another key.

I knew you'd enjoy that!

I'm disappointed to find out that site doesn't show snails in sultry poses though...
