Cdkeys is totally legal but from the publisher's view you're technically still doing something you shouldn't be doing. Basically buying at CDkeys means you're buying at a price not intended for your region. That's how they offer such cheap prices. God bless region free keys. I think one day it will result in publishers enforcing more region locks though.

so it is another shady website exploiting weak currency and making the publisher and developer suffer for it, great. filth should be banned.

The publishers started this when they forced digital distribution as a means of selling PC games. Who do you think benefited the most financially from the change of PC games being sold physically(Not a box with a digital code inside) to being sold digitally. Turnabout is fair play.

So you are just bitter and revengebuy all games at half price now?
the storefront owners still take a huge cut of the money that is equivalent of the retail costs like 30% for Valve.And Bluray drives never really took off so i think that is the main reason no one does physical PC games anymore.

I could be misremembering, for some reason I thought it had issues.
Might as well grab both then!
Even if everything you said is true, why should only corporations benefit from globalisation?
Do you think they care about exploiting weak currencies and working conditions when they use outsourcing studios in Malaysia, China or India?
It's not unlike Rage in that there's no SLI support and you may experience texture pop-in and stuttering if the game doesn't want to play nicely with your system. If Doom16 is any indication, though, Wolf2 should fare much better as it's also id Tech 6-based.

I'm going to wait to see if there will be a Deluxe Edition with a season pass for both. I have a ton of money in steam credit since I traded in a bunch of stuff to Gamestop for steam gift cards which makes it hard.
It did. It had issues with texture streaming, with the engine clearly not being built in mind with mouse speeds (was way worse in Rage though), as they would frequently be half popped if you turned even relatively fast.
The Digital Deluxe Edition is exactly that. I'd wait for the Season Pass to be available separately, though, as it'd likely work out cheaper to buy the game from CD Keys and pick up the Season Pass on its own.

CDKeys are the only reason I can play games at release or close to it, games are so expensive now on Steam. I'll be holding off on Wolfenstein until it goes sub £20 though, I never rush to buy single player games as they drop fast.

Not bitter just smart like CDKEYS. I'm gonna cut down my cost just like the publishers did based on a system they created in the first place.

970 obviously, you don't want to play a shooter at 30fps.
Edit: It's 60fps on console too.

Where/what is the FB discount code? I can't find it on their page.

970. Easy answer

Wolfenstein is 60fps on consoles.
Wolfenstein is 60fps on consoles, I believe. I'm more worried about the evil within 2 but screw it. I might buy a 1080ti later anyway.

Fair enough, I guess it's to be expected since it uses the same engine as Doom. I'd still go for PC for KB+M, plus if it's not rock solid on console you can't fix it but on PC you can lower a setting or two.
Evil Within ran poorly on every platform right? So I'd never pre-order that, I remember playing it on PC and it wasn't great.

New Order is 60fps on PS4. No reason to believe New Colossus won't be since DOOM was as well.
But yeah, 970 will be better.

Unfortunately I get a "Content not found" error. Is this a "like the page, get a discount" sort of thing?

Which game? If Evil then 970 for that 60 frames. Sea Bass has a shaky aim.
Here's the Dishonored expansion for 15.55/£12.85

Got both! Even if I can't run TEW2 at 60fps. At least I'll have dat 16xAF + possibly max settings if I lock it to 30.
It's a program that generates a code after you've submitted your e-mail address. I'll PM you the one it spat out for me.

Well that's annoying.
Will wait a bit more, then instead of preordering a version where I'm not sure how well it'll work on my PC with german IP.

Its gonna look beautiful maxed out.
Currently replaying it and the game runs a lot better now,locked 60 fps with max settings at 1080p and 1440p(with a few dips here and there but nothing big).
I have a gtx 970(No OC),i5 4690k(Stock) and 16gb of ram.
Edit:I have black bars enabled though,i'll test this when i get home.
Where do I put my email for the code?
Do you care when corporations and even game developers outsource their work to India/China and pay them wages that are lower than first world wages? Almost every AAA game gets some amount of work outsourced these days to India/China.
Sure the wages they pay are comparable to other jobs in the same sector in that country, but the bottom line is a first world company that is capable of paying first world salary is outsourcing to third world countries and paying them third world wages because they want to exploit the cheaper prices as well. So why is it alright when they do it but when the tables get turned the people doing it become "filth"?
Everyone should benefit from Globalisation. Beside there's the other important factor that despite there being no manufacturing overhead digital games cost the same price because platform holders would rather have their cut become fatter than make the price cheaper for consumers.
There is a reason CD Keys is not banned on GAF, and that's because it's fine.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Gotdamn that's a great deal. I wish there were console vendors who offered deals like this. Best thing right now is either using trade in credit for GS or Best Buy's GCU, but that also costs money for subscription.
Ah well .. I guess I'll continue amassing old finished games for trade-in to newer games as I always do.
