OldFatGuy: In today's age of credit card fraud, I've seen my purchase attempts turned down multiple times despite never being late EVEN ONCE on any credit card, bill, or whatever.

And I've discovered it will happen sometimes when a single "store" has multiple attempts at sales in a short period of time.

Well, GOG, if you provided us with a different GIFT CODE on each game of a gift purchase, we wouldn't have to make multiple purchases, back to back, just to get different codes to pass out to different people.

Please, allow us the opportunity to assign games to gift codes when we purchase. For example, if we purchase 10 games, let us say 4 will have separate codes, 2 others will be bunched on one code, and then the other four will be bunched on one code. Like that. We don't need to see any codes beforehand, just allow us to assign games to Code 1, Code 2, Code 3, etc. and make multiple gift purchases on ONE payment.

Thanks for reading.

EDIT: As an example, I just made two purchases here, back to back, and fortunately, the card took the second one. This is one of the things in common I've noticed on purchases denied. PayPal seems particularly sensitive to multiple purchases at the same place on the same day. I just got FarCry 1 and FarCry 2 for two different goggers, and it would've been so much easier to just buy ONCE and get two codes.

Trilarion: Maybe you could tell the guys that told you that the legitimate GOG customers are not feeling very comfortable with it. You could suggest them to increase the limit to up to five copies per purchase. Also you could propose to limit this to customers who already have a nice track record like 20 purchased games for their own or whatever. Would that rule out questionable sources of payment?

Btw. I could imagine that a smart key reseller writes himself a programm to automatically repeat the checkout procedure. Such a tool would even be useful for gifters.

MaximumBunny: And what if it was done on request to support? That they could create a special order for trusted users to do so, all on an individual basis?

Tarnicus: I can purchase one copy of Blackguards for $45 but cannot purchase 10 games at once on sale at $1.50 each...this is a perfect example of 'the law'(or rule in this place) not achieving it's intended purpose. Given the amount of gifting on this site, it would be nice if GoG could figure out a solution to this :)

Tarnicus: You store the information already of every game I have bought, gifted or been gifted, so it's already there somewhere :)

Tarnicus: Thanks by the way for taking the time to respond to this interrogation :P <3

Tarnicus: And thanks for the reminder that site feedback exists! lol Will do :)

MaximumBunny: Haha, so in short reps mean nothing, vast amounts of purchases means nothing, there's no such thing as community standing, and we're all equally scum just so that the system can be fair to everyone. Gotcha. :P

OldFatGuy: I admit I'm probably misunderstanding again, but here are some things that keep going through my head.

Number one, you have to have an account to purchase here.

The codes you purchase here are good here, and nowhere else.

The codes redeemed must be redeemed here and nowhere else.

Soooo, you have every bit of information as far as each and every code ever sold is concerned. You can look up who bought it, and who redeemed it, when, etc.

And with that information it would still be impossible to tell who's abusing the system???

So, since it's impossible to tell who's abusing the system, but you suspect it is a problem, therefore, who would be the most likely suspected??? Those of us that gift often.

At every turn, serial gifters are treated as, and look suspiciously upon, as criminals.

I can't even put into words how bassfuckingackwards that is.

iippo: Like Judas said, might be policy to prevent something like this: http://unknownworlds.com/blog/beware-shady-key-resellers-and-discount-steam-keys/

got costly to Unknown Worlds Entertainment.

OldFatGuy: Yeah, I know, I hope you're not under the mistaken impression I'm angry with you, because I'm not AT ALL. Heck, you didn't even need to post in here at all, so I'm thankful for all the info you've provided.

My frustration is with more or less "the system" as a whole as it is, once again, another example of honest people getting treated badly because of the acts of others. It's just.... bassackwards.

But I apologize if my frustration appeared to be directed at you in any way whatsoever, as that was NOT my intent. You've done me so many favors in the past it would be hard for me to ever get have any justification for directing any anger or frustration at you.

EDIT: I see my post above said the word "you" in it several times. Sorry, that was pointed at gog dot com, not you Judas. Maybe that was what I did wrong. Sorry.
