nadenitza: Lol wait, how can you check if a steam key is still available? That's weird... :P

You either activate it or it's a dupe, there's no middle ground :)

skeletonbow: I already own the game and was told that I can't redeem because the product is already in my inventory. I usually get a duplicate product error when a code has already been redeemed.

skeletonbow: It would be nice if Steam allowed people holding codes to actually have a way to test if they are valid or not. I imagine they probably don't do that because some people would likely scour the Internet for codes and try to sell them for profit or some other type of scheme. It kind of sucks though. I like the fact you can test a code on GOG and have to OK it before it is added to your account, and you can do it whether or not you already own the game on GOG.

I guess by not letting people test codes on Steam, they encourage the keys to get registered sooner rather than be held on to and passed around, forcing more people to potentially buy the games and less codes to be floating around. Just a guess, but it's a suboptimal user experience IMHO.

Also, most of the time when someone posts a code and does not indicate what it is for, I just pass on it so I don't end up registering a game I would never play and end up robbing someone who might enjoy it of the opportunity. I wish people would always post what their codes are for to avoid codes being wasted in this manner, although it doesn't happen that often I guess.

blakstar: Oh well -- at least I know that the code is definitely gone!

EDIT: Removed my silly (and jokey) suggestion in case some silly person thought I was serious!

Sachys: did it involve a sausage, gravy and mashing some spuds by any chance?

Braussie: Who is interested in fun platformers?

I played a game on Desura called "Super Panda Adventures" and it's a blast. I got an extra copy to share with someone.

rule:
1) you must want to actually play it, and intend to play it.
2) You must have a Desura account.
3) You must say "Thank you sir, may I have a first one?"
4) Rep must be over 100, as I'm trying to give back to the people who've been contributing to the site, and blessed me with games and online company. :)

:)

niniendowarrior: Goodness gracious Braussie. +1 for your generosity and thank you for giving back. I don't quite fancy it so I'm passing on it. :)

Crsldmc: Maybe if they release a "Super Chicken Adventures" am I right? :)

niniendowarrior: I've already got a lot of chicken adventures as it is. :D

Crsldmc: And some "hardboiled" ones aswell!! :D

Love that game it's so cool!

Anyway, good night peeps!
