I used them twice before.. with Paypal.. and they were fine with my 'un verified' account.. which Green Man Gaming is not.

Oh - maybe it was Green Man Gaming that I recall requiring authentication...I don't remember  ::)

Weird.. I didn't' have to do anything like that, I didn't' create an ID just paid with paypal like I've done on previous purchases. They just sent me an email with a download link. Link said it won't work till shortly before or on release date.

They may have, once, for me too.  I don't recall.


Pretty sure GMG is based in the UK.  Dunno if being overseas has anything to do with it.

I got the impression that CDkeys.com was based in Asia.  Perhaps I'm wrong?

[Grim.Reaper]

Cdkeys has always been good for me...but if your into getting the pre order bonus items, they don't typically include them unless clearly stated on the page.

[Yskonyn]

The whole idea of cdkeys is that you can order without having to make an account. Thats what I like about them.
Paid them three times with Paypal now and never had to go through annoying verification shit.

Do they send you the key immediately?

If the game has already been rekeased I have gotten my keys near immediate.  Obviously if pre order you don't get the keys until later

We're in single figures now! \o/

The wait is excruciating.  Ditto for HoI4.

So close! And yet...

[jamus34]

Dammit, I haven't been this hyped for a game since fallout 3 and haven't pre-ordered a game since borderlands 2. Paradox better not screw this up.

[sandman2575]

Paradox better not screw this up.

I honestly don't think they will. Maybe I'm just a fanboy, but I think Pdox is peaking, at the top of their game and building on the huge successes of CKII and EUIV.

I think the release of HoI3 in 2009 was probably the turning point -- Pdox put out a *hugely* ambitious and complex game that was rife with bugs and problems. I think they learned all the right lessons from that experience, and the proof was the launch of CKII a few years later -- still I think Pdox's greatest game.

[Huw the Poo]

100% agreed, Sandman.  Paradox have been hyping Stellaris to buggery themselves, they know their reputation is riding on it.  Besides, they've been doing weekly gameplay streams...you don't do that if you aren't confident.

[Barthheart]

1 week!  :D This is going to be a looooong week....  :P

[jamus34]

Yes it is. Any one wanting to try multiplayer right out of the gate?

[Jarhead0331]

I would give Gusington's left testicle if they would release this on Friday instead of Monday.
