There is nothing more frustrating than buying a video game and not playing it because the CD key isn’t working. Here we go through the common mistakes and issues you will encounter and how to deal with them.
By Daniel
You just bought a game or have a gift card, discount code, or CD key, and the code isn’t working. It’s okay, breathe, relax, and follow these easy steps to get your key working.
Double check your Key.
Sounds obvious, but sometimes in our eagerness to type it in and get to our games, we can miss a number or letter.
Is that a 0 (zero) or O?
When checking, it’s good to make sure that you’re typing in 0 (zero) or O (letter) when needed. Recheck every letter and number. Still unsafe? Hint: Copy-Paste out of known words!
Game Key is Region Locked.
When we see a low price for an incredible game, we sometimes jump straight in and buy it. Remember to check the region that you’re buying for, as it does matter.
