thanks for the input! :)

It is absolutely worth $4. Sleeping Dogs was surprisingly good, probably the best GTA-like game that I've played.

Thanks very much for the info. 8)

Does it still have activation limits?

bleh :/

Thanks for the replies people(sorry too tired to quote all responses).

I've purchased over 500 games from GoG, Steam, Amazon, Gamersgate and Desura and various indie bundle sites, and not once have I ever not received a code instantly. One of the main reasons I purchase games online rather than get physical copies is for convenience. Hence my assumption that fraud might have been the case in this instance. I realise that it is most likely a matter of shit-house business practise rather than fraud.

I buy a code for Steam through Play-Asia that I do not receive within the timeframe given by the website. The item was in stock at the time of purchase.
I receive no communication from the company informing me that they are out of stock. How can a retailer sell something that they do not have, with no mention of stock lacking? It's not a physical item so this makes no sense to me.
Customer service fails to respond promptly and when they finally do, tell me that they will not have more stock for 1-2 weeks. No automated or manual "we are out of stock" message. I have to scour their website and chase them up to receive a reply.
They have offered a refund, which I am seeking due to not wanting to support such poor business practises. Hopefully that refund(which I am still waiting for) is returned posthaste.

I can see how it was jumping to conclusions to assume fraud but I cannot believe people think this is the way to run an online gaming store. With the competition that is out there, I'll take my business(which is an enjoyable game buying addiction! lol) elsewhere. This experience has cost Play-Asia more than one potentially great customer.

Thank you GoG for running an online gaming store the RIGHT way for me <3

Precisely. How hard is it to generate an automated reply with shopping cart software saying "We are out of stock" when such a situation occurs, rather than charging a customer's credit card and making them wait(who knows how long but days so far) for a refund?

Edit: a perfect example of good business. I went to purchase Fallout 3 on sale at Gamersgate and was informed BEFORE confirming the purchase that they were out of keys and it would take a couple of days to restock. Much nicer than having my card charged and being told afterwards.

I have acquired two physical things from playasia. They both came through nicely and in time. On the other hand those were preorders but still that shit should not take that longto give you the damn steam keys.

I've bought from playasia before and they got the game to me in a timely manner. It's expensive (clearly not in the case of dark souls) but they're reliable.
