Thanks for the reply, yeah that makes sense I thought this was the case with all the gift codes acquired during promos.

usually those keys are valid indefinately. bonus codes (which are 8 digits i think) have a limited lifespan. would have made more sense to use those in this case.

Actually, I think the reason for the expiration was code abuse, not the game's removal. A year ago XIII was removed, but codes were still valid 6 months later. So it's not the game's removal that caused it. And since both Torchlight and Duke Nukem 3D free codes were valid for quite some time later (I think they still are, if you have one lying around), it was probably the abundance of codes that forced GOG to disable them.

Or as the saying goes, "This is why we can't have nice things".

Yep, GOG would need to get a new accord with Bethesda for that.

Maybe you're right, but please notice that GOG didn't gift XIII for free before the removal, so owners of XIII codes were indeed buyers of the game, which it's different enough to this case...

I wish somebody gave me this game for Christmas

aye well i asked judas on sunday about whether they'd remain valid and he stated that as far as he could remember they'd expire - whether thats because of the abuse or the licence he was saying soon either way.

Edit: that is, I asked him, then told people here (as it was being discussed). he also said to contact support to get a more certain answer, but looks like nobody believed me! heheh

The right place to ask for non-GOG games is here: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/nongog_gifting_thread ;)

edit: thanks sweety! ;p

I thought I saw your rep tick up a bit ;)

If memory serves, I still have a Steam key for Humble Indie Bundle 2 that I haven't redeemed, since I already had that one. Whoever responds first that they want it, I'll PM you the key.

The games in that bundle were: Braid, Cortex Command, Machinarium, Osmos, and Revenge of the Titans. Cortex Command may have had a separate key? Not sure.

Ah, a classic from the good old humble days. Hope the winner enjoys it to its fullest! Thanks :-)

Cortex Commando is a separated key. And not a good game if you ask me...

I would like to have it.
