Just tried order this but got "unable to place order". The charge has gone through on my paypal account. First time I've ever had an issue with anything from cdkeys. Anyone have experience with their support? Time frames etc.?

First time trying cdkeys last night and i got this message too! :mad:

The charge has gone through my paypal as well. Do cdkeys send the code to your email account ? because I've checked and there's nothing in my in box yet.



Edit: Just raised the issue with them there. They refunded the money within 5 minutes!! Well impressed with that.

Are CDKeys a grey market? I thought they were their own distributer

CDKeys are grey market, that's why they are so cheap.

CDKeys buy multi-region keys in cheaper regions like Russia and Asia and resell them in Europe and the US where they are usually sold at much higher prices by the game developer. What they are doing is a a grey area but it is relatively safe and I have never had a problem with them.

Whereas sites like G2A are Ebay like marketplaces where you buy keys from private resellers. I wouldn't touch any of those sites with a 40 foot barge pole because the keys could be stolen or purchased with stolen credit cards and they could get revoked at a later stage, With G2A unless you pay extra for the G2A shield you have no comeback if that happens.

I'm not giving my piece on it again, just stating that they are grey market, and using them is done on a buyer-beware basis.

I finished Mad Max over the Xmas holidays. Great game but it does get a bit repetitive.

great fun but I only did 2 of the 4 areas before heading to the end game

A bit?? It's worth buying on the cheap but really repeats itself.
The Batman Arkham series or Shadow of Mordor are better (even SoM is repetitive)

Yeah I've said it before but it had the bones to be an epic 10/10 game. The graphics, game physics, the car etc were all great but it needed some variation, especially in the boss battles. It just felt rushed like they had to get it released before it was ready. There was a part where, due to the order I did some missions, there were two iterations of that woman you help in a safehouse. Opportunity missed by all involved.

Superb bundle, had been meaning to get The Witness and Stardew Valley anyway. Fair play to the devs for contributing!

Are there any tools to check your steam inventory against a humble bundle for dupes?

Jet Black

After you buy and have your steam account linked it will show you what you already own. I'm not sure if there is a way to see before buying.

I see some games are showing as sold out for the Freedom Bundle. Ran out of Steam keys for games such as Sub Nautica etc.

Bah, Subnautica is "sold out" for new customers. That kind of thing annoys me.

Plus it was the only major game that I didn't already have, so it's probably tipped me against the bundle.

At this point the freedom bundle has so many Steam keys it triggers the Steam fraud protection measure for activating too many keys in too short a time.

Anyone getting the Freedom Bundle be sure to read The Boys graphic novel that comes with it, probably the best superhero series ever, theres nothing else like it.

So, is this bundle worth it? So many games in there. Not interested in the comics or books.
