exiled_user: You got lucky. My whole account was deleted just like that. I recommend not purchasing a single game here.
That would be a great idea. Oh, wait, you didn't purchase any games here in the first place. Perhaps go a step further and boycott GOG's forums?

JMich: it is possible that the key was disabled during the sale, and you didn't notice it then.

carnival73: This would explain Wasteland 2 which I had to have G2A refund me for. I got it a month later during a GOG sale.

Well all this is adding up to is that GOG is under fire from crims and hackers because the other digi sites don't have this much heat on them.

Does GOG have a backup means to restore our library if they do succumb to a hacker/crook onslaught?
It's just like the guy on the street corner trying to sell you those $200 speakers that "fell off the truck" for $50. The only reason you are buying from those key resellers is because they sell for less than you could buy it here. I wonder how that can be? (sarcasm) Like I said, possession of stolen property is a crime. Do you really think a judge is going to listen to your excuses? Especially when you keep buying keys for less than they were ever sold for? Like I said, you are as bad as the thieves. At this point, you are knowingly buying stolen keys, you are an accomplice.

Actually, they're accountable as a criminal (in the UK at least) - knowingly buying stolen goods counts you as a fence (forget the legal term). pretty sure its the same in the rest of the EU and probably the commonwealth too.

I've decided I'm never going to buy any more games here either.

The 750 I already bought should last me a while, so I'm not buying any more.

Well Majesty. I'll get that and that will be it.

And Rogue Squadron. Majesty and Rogue Squadron. No more.

Majesty, Rogue squadron, and Sins of the Solar Empire. And that's it.

After I buy Majesty, Rogue Squadron, and Sins of the Solar Empire I am never buying another thing here.

Unless of course Stasis goes on sale. But that's it.

Majesty, Rogue Squadron, Sins of the Solar Empire, and Stasis if it goes on sale. Or even if it doesn't. But that's it.

And Turok.

And all of the Star Wars games and I'm done here
Maybe I might buy several JRPGs here too and also there's The Elder Scrolls games and then I'm done.
But I also need to complete my WIng Commander collection as well as Tomb Raider,the Lucas Arts adventure games,System Shock and get the Might and Magic series plus have all of the Bullfrog games.

carnival73's repeated threads about his dodgy games disappearing are like a multiplayer version of Whack a Mole.

I mean,who knew the unauthorized GOG key reseller might be selling keys bought with stolen credit cards? Common sense,what's that?

Don't talk to carnival73 about common sense. He boycotted that after it told him not to stick a fork in an electrical socket.

If it was up to me your account would be banned already. You keep complaining about missing games regularly, how can we possibly know it is not you keep paying with stolen cc?

You would think after the 10,000,000th time, one would learn their lesson. But I guess I am putting too much faith in people.

Also,what is up with exiled_user? I mean,I read and re-read the TOS and there's nothing about terminating an account if you ever bought something here.
He's probably just like the meth head from the street corner that says that Disney owns him all teh money because he was a janitor there for like 2 months.

There are probably a lot of people who have been burned by these key resellers. Exiled_user is just one of the ones that can't accept that they've been had.

wpegg: It always occurred to me that there could be a business model here. If the key sites themselves or some of the people posting them there were buying during the sales, and selling while they're off sale price, you could essentially make your margin there from the people too impatient to wait for sales.
Also maybe buying the games in "cheap regions" (e.g. Russia) and selling them to customers from elsewhere? Or are gift keys region-locked?

I believe cross-region gifting is disabled from cheaper to more expensive regions, yes.
