Hi guys, sorry for my English but I'm using the translator.... My problem, hoping this is the right place to talk about it, says that it has already been redeemed. Looking forward to your suggestions, thank you in advance

Edit: scratch that...I guess, this is just another bot, advertising for a key-seller.

1. Don't buy keys from websites like that.

2. If there's a problem with your purchase, you should complain to the store where you made it.

3. Don't show gift codes to the public.

Having problems with a key bought on that website surely is good advertisement :D



Anyway, if this guy's for real: Support is the way to go.

Pardon me , but how much did you pay for the key to that shady reseller ? I guess our friend paid 10.79€ for the invalid code to the shady reseller instead of paying 12.56€ for a legit copy on Gog .

Was it worth ?

Sorry but I was a real fool to highlight the code..... really sorry. But can anyone seriously help me? Thank you

Ask for a refund from that reseller , and buy a legit copy from Gog .

as InkPanther already said:
Complain to that key seller / web site that sold you a non-working key.

As far as I know, GOG has no business relations with them.
That also means that GOG isn't responsible or otherwise obligated to fix that problem for you (or them). Sorry.

I'd say no.

You bought from a shady grey market reseller with a history of selling dud codes (because they dont get them legitimately).

Thank you all for the replies! If anyone can delete the discussion I would be happy! At least I don't look like a ..........

Quite a poor advertisement then: "Our keys don't work!".

As InkPanther and I feel so tired said, bring this issue up with the seller. If they can't give you a refund, then I would definitely start a chargeback through your payment method if you can.

Buying keys from the grey market is dangerous because you don't know how the keys were sourced. If they were bought with stolen credit cards, then the original CC holder will eventually find out and start chargebacks. Then eventually developers lose out on a sale, providing customer service for fake keys, investigating fake keys, and dealing with chargebacks. And then the publisher will revoke the key and you'll lose the game from your library that you thought you paid for.

There are also scummy practices by "social media influencers" or "grassroots promoters" asking for extra keys for themselves and/or their viewers and then going around and reselling them too.

I would always make sure to source keys from GOG, Humble Bundle, and Amazon Prime only so your keys will always be legitimate, devs got paid for their hard work, and your hard earned money doesn't go towards criminals.
