I wouldn't say I agree or that I'm now well informed. I haven't found a post where "Activision warn against using GMG", but maybe that's within one of the search results, that's why its best to provide a precise link with the information that proves your point. GMG now state the source of each key and they seem to be an authorised distributor for most publishers, if not Activision. Sega is definitely on the list, so not sure how any of this crap is relevant to this particular deal.

good find op, heat added

At HUKD user Elevator's request, here is a warning that GMG are not authorised resellers of all of their keys. Publishers including Activision, Ubisoft and CD Projekt Red have warned against using GMG.

Good price, though! Hot! Especially if you have decent headphones.

HotUKDealer's told me this would never be so cheap so quick! Heat for the deal, sadly I got bored before I even got to see the alien (after about 15 minutes gameplay), haven't tried completing it since...

The top ten results if you Google 'GMG Activision' for Activision and six of the top ten results if you Google 'GMG Ubisoft' for Ubisoft have quite a lot of information about this.

According to Spark's link above, GMG have been added to Ubisoft's "approved" list during the last couple of months. I'm afraid I'm not sure which publishers have removed GMG from their "approved" list during the same time period.

If you still need more information after going through all that, please let me know and I'll be happy to Google more things for you.

Again, nonsense.

I don't have access to Ubisoft's private change control files but the link I posted publicly states that the list hasn't changed for almost a year. Hence there is no way that Ubi could have added GMG to that list within "the last couple of months".

So you make these accusations and when I ask for proof I've got to google it for myself? I have done anyway and am happy to keep purchasing from GMG.

Actually, apparently GMG wasn't on that list four months ago. You can use the Web Archive project to clearly show GMG wasn't on that list six months ago, nor were they on that list one year ago. Feel free to check for yourself - certainly might be helpful to avoid further embarrassment in future: http://archive.org/web/

"No way" GMG could have been added to that list recently, indeed. :smile: Completely impossible that they might have forgotten to change the update info! But thank you for sharing your earlier link. It's always handy to have this sort of information about retailers, isn't it.

Anything about Activision, by any chance? And you mentioned that the problems between CDPR and GMG were "resolved" - I'd love to see a link for that. (Yes, I have tried to find it myself. No, nothing comes up about it being "resolved".)

Ah, so we're agreed it's true - more of an "FYI" rather than an "accusation", wouldn't you agree?

If it was something that was difficult to find a source for, or something that was not particularly well-known, I would take your point that it would be faster for you to ask for help finding the information. But when it's literally all ten results of the first page of results when googling 'GMG Activision', surely you can see why I'm surprised you needed me to help you. :man:


As am I. But isn't it a nice feeling being able to make an informed decision about whether to use them or not? :wink:
