[Edited to now be a Master Thread for all Expiring Gog Keys]

Gift codes that Gog gives away for free now come with expiration dates. So now it is up to us find people for these codes before they expire.

Rules for this thread are the same from my last Clearinghouse thread.

1) If you want to give a game, post the game with [HAVE]

2) If you want to receive a game, post the game with [WANT]

3) Once the game has been given and received, change [HAVE] to [GIVEN] and [WANT] to [GOT]

4) Different codes have different expiration dates. Please check your code's expiration date by going here and entering the code into the gift redeem box to find out.

5) This is NOT a trading thread. Go here for that.

6) Please, do not drop codes in this thread. All that does is attract scammers and bots to the forum.

7) Everyone giving codes should do their do-diligence and check on whoever requests one of your codes. Check the user registered date to see if they just made the account recently, search their "username" in Google and Gog search engines for post history (not always accurate but better than nothing), and check the known scammer list to see if they've done bad stuff in the past. With that said, it's your code and you may give the code to whoever you wish at your discretion.

7a) Type this into the Google search field to do a site based only search. Replace USERNAME with the name of the gog user you want to search for:
site:gog.com/forum/ USERNAME

8) You can giveaway Newsletter discount codes in this thread if you like but please don't code drop them. Follow rules 1 through 3 for giving these away. Or you can take the discount codes to the Newsletter Discount thread.

Check back often to see what games are being given away from me and other Goglodytes. :D

I'm currently giving away:

nothing at the moment

Kein.Wunder: I have been trying to give this away since early March and nobody wanted it, now there are more than one takers. Funny.

I decided to give it to the one who showed the most interest/enthusiasm.

Congratulations, check your chat, and have fun.

Oh, I am supposed to edit my post to reflect I have given the game to someone. OK, doing it now.

Odd, it shows my edit in the pop up window, but does not after clicking the post button. Oh well.

And I just realized I edited the wrong part of my post, haha.

krugos2: Thanks again, I really appreciate it! I should be working right now, but I'll have to take a little time for some Pinball, lol. :D
Perhaps I should not have given it to you after all, haha. Just kidding, have fun.

Kein.Wunder: I would also like to offer the game I won. I already offered it in this thread:

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/game_being_given_out_due_to_the_gog_games_twitch_event

but there were no takers.

[HAVE] Epic Pinball: The Complete Collection
Expires: Mar 31, 2018

If anyone is interested leave a reply.

IXOXI: Hello Kein.Wunder if nobody else would be interested, then I would take it on last day of validity just not to let it lost.

In case, that anybody else would be interested, please give it to him.
And a thank you for being a good sport.

Good I caught this thread, had almost forgotten I won a copy of Epic Pinball: The Complete Collection myself.
krugos2 post really makes it sound like a bit of fun but I never really got into pinball, even back when pinball machines were popular. So...

avatar
HypersomniacLive: I'd have given that pinball game a try if there were another code, as I've only played on actual pinball machines.

Looks like Kein.Wunder has been trying to give it away for some time now, so good to see there're a couple of interested parties.
Looks like you're in luck, check your chat.

Thanks mate, appreciated. Unfortunately, it looks like I wasn't meant to try this game; the code's expired (see attachment).

Have the donor check the email - I think all the keys won from the GOG Games were supposed to have expiration dates of March 31, 2018 (stated in the text). If so, then contact GOG support today (proof you tried to redeem it in date).

If the key was from a Hat then I think those expired already.

Just to throw it out, if anyone has a Epic Pinball: The Complete Collection key that is going to expire today, please consider sending it my way.

If there are other requests for it, send it their way first.

I really have a thing against waste.

Thank you

Drat. Not sure that should have happened, the email says the key is valid until today. I read that as today included. I'll hit up support and get back to you.

Support got back to me, I attached the reply. Basically they claim that March 31, 2018 was not included in the deadline even though the email stated that date. Looks like Badass_RononDex got it right even by mistake. To be honest I've never seen a deadline set in such a deceptive way and I think that the way they handled it is poor. I've followed up with support but I don't really expect anything to come out of it.

Sorry for unknowingly gifting an expired key.

No need to apologise, you didn't do it on purpose.

The deadline does seem to have been stated in a misleading way, but from my experience on GOG, it's not the first time that they've done a botched job; last summer, IIRC, some promo codes said that they don't expire on the redeem page when they had an expiration date, leaving a bunch of people with useless codes they intended to gift (myself included). But they made it up to us, and revalidated them (there was a thread about it, but don't remember it from the top of my head).

I dug that thread up and will do another follow up to my ticket.

If nothing else, you are persistent.

But as I already told you, it's ok to let go, it was curiosity more than anything else that led me to make that post, so don't stress over this.

Good news, check your chat and be sure to claim the key before Tuesday (April 11, 2018).
