funny: Settlers 7 US vs EU boxarts

THE WORDS! They'll drift away without the _!
I tried about 10 different games in Steam, but none of the keys worked.

So I guess either these keys simply don't work in Steam or Ubisoft have fixed their screwup.

Still says all Zero for me.

I got some keys for games that I probably won't download, so yeah I'll share them for people if they want?

The following keys are on offer:

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
Rainbow Six Vegas
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (is this worth playing? what kind of game is it? lol)
Far Cry
Far Cry 2

I wonder if I can purchase them all again and get more keys? lol
If you could be the greatest person ever and gift me Far Cry I'd hold you till the end of time.

THE END OF TIME.

Unfortunately, the key didn't work for Steam.

Anybody know another place I can put the Far Cry 2 key in and download? Don't see anything on Ubi's site.

So the keys are useless unless you can use them on Steam (which, again, I wouldn't recommend just yet)?

The RUSE key activates on Steam, apparently.

I'd be wary of this, actually. If Ubisoft decide to revoke the keys (which they most certainly will) it's also possible they'll ask Valve to revoke the keys from the Steam accounts to which they are tied. In which case, it's likely Valve will drop the ban hammer.
Uhh that doesn't seem legal at all.

With Metro 2033, they revoked the keys, no account ban like your implying.

I wasn't implying anything, I simply said - categorically so - it's a possibility.

Edit: Uh, I was supposed to. Damn my brain.

- Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
- Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (is this worth playing? what kind of game is it? lol)

Would you be so kind as to give a GRAW 2 key? And I only played a little of R6V2, seemed like an alright fps. Don't think the graphics hold up too too well though

I'd like GRAW1 or Vegas 2 (Vegas 2 preferably, but if you want to play it then GRAW would be fine)

Yeah, the store is working, but I keep stumbling upon server errors. Seems they're in the process of fixing the bug.

Good timing, though. I was seconds away from creating a thread.

I'm interested in a Far Cry, Ruse, Settlers 7, XIII, Anno 1404 or Silent Hunter 5 keys, if anyone has some spare keys i would really appreciate a key for any of those games. I couldn't take advantage of the glitch and get 100+ keys like some of you :/

Fuck sake. First time Australia gets something good and I miss it! If anyone horded away some keys and want to hand them out I wouldn't say no to Anno 1404 or AC2. :)
 
Wow, no official thread for this one?!

Damn, anyway - played this over the weekend. Gotta say, absolutely loving it.

Sorta lost interest in Anno 1404 in the last few months after completing campaign, playing the crap out of sandboxes etc.. So this one fills the void quite nicely. Different to Anno obviously, but I do like these micro-management RTS'. Great stuff.

When the ubisoft store stuffed up, I quickly made an account and grabbed a whole bunch of stuff.

I just received this email.

Haha, wow, wasn't expecting them to honour the stuff-up at all.

Tomorrow I'm going to add up just how generous Ubisoft's gesture is.

Hey guys...

This should interest a lot of people, and deserves it's own thread, but Settlers 7 is FREE to download.

Link: http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/e...ttlers-7-Paths-to-a-Kingdom-Gold-Edition.html

I don't understand why it's free, all I know is that it's free. It's a good game, and is usually much more expensive. I don't know if this is an Australian exclusive or not? But it's on the Australian page.

This deserves it's own thread but I don't have the ability to make a new thread yet. If a mod see's this maybe they could make a new thread?

God damn this moved fast, I wish I could have gotten on it, since I've been eying settlers 7 for a long time but didn't want to pay the full price.

Grats to anyone who was able to do this!

That was honorable of them to honor their mistake, for sure, but I don't think this translates to many lost sales. That is unless all of you were planning to spend $1000 on Ubisoft games today and suddenly found this.

Also, anyone get an Assassin's Creed 2 or Brotherhood key for me? :D

Imagine Fashion Designer $9.95
Catz 2 $9.95
Imagine Champion Rider $9.95
Voodoo Dice $14.95
Rayman Raving Rabbids™ $19.95

Now, the titles with ?? as the price are no longer available by themselves for whatever reason, however they are part of franchise bundles. With this in mind, it's a reasonable assumption that if you remove the other game(s) that are part of these bundles, you'll end up with the price of a particular game itself. With that in mind:

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction™ - Deniable Ops: Insurgency $15
Far Cry 2 $50

Lastly, neither the original Assassin's Creed nor the sequel are available separately, so the only reasonable course of action is to simply halve the price of the bundle:

Assassin’s Creed® II $54.975
Assassin's Creed® - Director's Cut Edition $54.975

Assuming I didn't mistype any of the prices, I managed to grab $2106.79 worth of Ubisoft games and DLC for the tiny price of $0.00.

Thanks, Ubi!

Any keys you don't need? I was really hoping to grab a Hawx 1 key.

Now that I know Ubi won't be revoking the keys, I'll look through the list, fish out the keys I don't want and happily hand them out, either later today or tomorrow. (I'll try not to forget!)

If you decide to skip on Settlers, I will gladly take it off your hands.

I would kiss ass for a settlers 7 key, especially since you can redeem it on steam.

I'm retarded you can't.
