Hello everyone... I have the following problem: I brought The Witcher 3 GOTY edition in 2016. It may sound crazy, but i remember when i installed the game that somewhere it said that the game would expire, end or something like "you won't be able to play this game after this date". That time i was really excited about the game and didn't paid attention, just remember that the amount i paid ($30), made sense that it's for a huge rent. So, if this memory is true, how do i check this deadline?

Thank you very much!

If you have bought the game directly from GOG it will not expire. I think it was message about the code expiration.

I've bought it from Nuuvem, forgot to mention!

I have no clue about the store to be honest. If it's legit you should be absolutely fine and I wouldn't worry if the game is still in your library. As I said, the message could be about the code expiration date.

Once the game activated/added in your GOG account library it will stay there for the end of time (of GOG at least). Even removed for sale games can be freely played at your leisure.
Only key codes may expire, in your case it might be some kind of bonus key code with expiration limit. But you shouldn't worry anyway since you played it already (activated on GOG).

You're very welcome. We're always glad to be of help : D
I've attached an example how the message could look.

GOG did pull game catalog(s) in some special cases.
For example, GOG pulled Gwent beta version from every tester's GOG Library.

It could be defined as "stay there for the end of time" (of the beta game at least).

The Witcher Adventure Beta was also removed from GOG accounts, I'm not calling such cases "a game", it's more of a limited time game demonstration. But if you need to be absolutely precise than yes you are right and I should choose my words more careful next time.

Also, just as a precaution:
I dunno that particular store (just quickly looked it up and it seems ok) but many of these key reseller sides are a bit shady, or at least let people offer keys from shady sources.

There have been cases of games getting removed because the keys were originally bought with stolen credit cards for example. So I would always check a sites credibility before buying there. Or just be safe and buy GOG games here.

Nuuvem is legit.
They are Brazilian store and at one time they were good palce to buy fairly cheap games tanks to regional pricing if one managed to navigate in brazilian-portugese store.
Quite soon they introduced region-locking of their codes so they became irrelevant for a big part of the world so that's why they are not too known outside Brazil.
