CD Keys

[Trooper5445]

Why can they never put the key in the mother****ing manual! Why do they (game distributors) feel the need to include it on a seperate, slim, sheet of paper?

 

[Lost-Lamb]

To **** with you, isn't it obvious?

 

[Trooper5445]

Clearly.

 

[Suspect-Device]

All my games have CD Key's on the back on the manual...

 

[scootar]

This would just encourage piracy.

Meh, when I have a game I really really don't want to lose a key for, I write it down on multiple index cards and put them all in different places.

 

[phbbbt107]

I just email them to myself. I'm OK as long as Yahoo! doesn't tank unexpectedly.

 

[Darian]

You could always write it into the manual yourself, you know...

Those separate, slim sheets of paper are (at least in VALVe's games) placed under some structures resembling hooks, behind the cover. The sheets aren't ging anywhere unless you take them from there, which you don't need to do in order to read the code.

No need to brag about it.

Worst setup was the Diablo Battle Chest thing, imo. **** if I can remember how many CDs the thing had, but they were all in these black sleeves that all looked the same. The CD keys were on two of them.

I've learned to record all of my CD keys.

I lost my D2 serial, though I still have my D2:LOD serial .

This is why I hate CD KEYS.

Keys are annoying, but what's even more annoying is when the ****ing thing wants the disk in the drive in order to run. My desk wouldn't be half as messy if this were not the case.

In the shops near us the CD keys are always still inside the display cases.

Yoink!

In the shops near us the CD keys are always still inside the display cases. 

Meaning what exactly? (None of my stores have display cases for the PC games).

Agreed. That's why I play Steam games, games that don't need the cd in the drive way more than games that do.

*Yoink*!

 

[Trooper5445]

The game being referenced is Company of Heroes. I was already stupid enough to get the gold edition and I suppose this is how I pay....

 

[hayabusa12]

I lost my CD keys for Half Life, both expansions, Counter Strike Classic, and Team Fortress Classic all at the same time once. Sucked.

 

[Sir Prince]

Shouldn't you have added them to your Steam account?
