Granted.
Yup.
You were beaten to the punch, I'm afraid.
Granted.
I just confirmed that this second giftable key actually works. It seems to be a legit thing whereby you can continually spawn a code, give it to somebody, have them spawn a code, have them give that to somebody, and keep passing it down the line. We could have the whole community get all of the STALKER games at this rate. Holy crap.
With this new information, I'm daggering the STALKER games. Anybody who takes one and re-donates the serial code will have the game not count towards their monthly limit.
Edit: Hm. Seems to work a second time, just not a third. Regardless, what I just said about the limit thing still stands.

MaxFulvus: Maybe I'm wrong, but these serial keys might be used for the multiplayer mode ? I never tried it but maybe you need to enter a serial key to access the multiplayer.
finkleroy: They're not for multiplayer; they're GOG keys for the game that never expire. I got one for each of the three games and tested them out, found out that they're keys for the game and gifted them to people who redeemed them. You can tell if it's a GOG key or not by trying to redeem them on GOG's "redeem code" page. If you already have the game in your library, you won't be able to redeem it, but you can see that it's a valid, unused GOG key, then click cancel and gift it to someone else who can then redeem it. If you buy a GOG copy of the game and have it automatically added to your account or if you buy a gift code which is then added to someone else's account, a second, giftable key is added to the library of the user whose account the game was added to. I assume that the person who redeems the second key doesn't then receive a third key that can then be gifted, but I'm not positive about that because I've never redeemed one of the second keys.
