CD key when?

[3abdoh]

so my region among other regions is blocked from this game
anyone knows how long does it take for such games to start having CD keys that we can buy from other key shops?

[1961]

I'm waiting patently too

Edit: I think they owe us a statement for why the game isn't available in MENA region, and whether it's going to be or not.

Activision don't sell CD keys no more, check for the recent CoD, Spyro Trilogy, Crash Trilogy, Sekiro, they're all delisted from third party keystores or never was, there's no hope.

Those CD keys are from past Humble Bundles, try searching for a legit storefronts, not resellers. HB store? Gamesplanet? GMG? Fanatical? There's nothing. why? because Activision pulled out.

According to ITAD which is a site auto registers games' price history, following games are delisted on other storefronts:
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/crashbandicootnsanetrilogy/history/
Crash N sane Trilogy: Was only available during preorder period (Gamesplanet)
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/sekiroshadowsdietwice/history/
Sekiro: Delisted on GMG in Feb. 2021; Gamesplanet and Humble followed 8 months later.
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/callofdutywwii/history/
CoD: WWII: Delisted on Gamesplanet in 2019, Gamestop and Humble in 2021.
https://isthereanydeal.com/game/spyroreignitedtrilogy/history/
Spyro Reignited Trilogy: Never was available for purchase outside of Humble Bundles.

So yeah, if they're not willing to sell Crash 4 in our region, you better pray for Humble Bundle to feature Crash 4 in one of their bundles, and those keys can be region locked too, so we better be real lucky.

I just checked MW2 from a cd key seller website, it's there tho.

Edit: the same website recently added Crash 4 key but can only be activated in europe.

As Soviet-Triumph mentioned, official new keys are probably not something to expect.
I remember searching those up when wanting to buy the N. Sane Trilogy, and none were being sold.

damn, I'm sure you were thrilled to see it on Humble Bundle, but i'm not expecting Crash 4 to be in HB anytime soon..

The sad thing that even if HB offered a bundle or included Crash 4 in their subscription, they probably won’t bother to give you a key if the game isn't available in your region.
Happens to me before for the game: Soul Calibur VI; it was offered in their subscription while I was subscribed; they refused to give me a key and refunded something like 3$.

I wish Crash 4 become available in our regions. I was holding myself from playing it anywhere other than steam.

you're right!
worst part is it is actually available on battle.net in our region but not on steam, very stupid

[Overlord Nader]

Just as stupid as Mass Effect Legendary Edition thing. It's available on Epic and Origin but for some odd reason unavailable on Steam.

In that specific case actually the code provided to buyers was ROW with no regional restrictions. I know because I redeemed it (despite its unavailability in my region)

They're not a code, they're gift copies.

Today i see 61$ CD keys being sold on popular sites, and they say it CAN be redeemed in my country, however Steamdb still has only 1 package.

what do you think?

I doubt you'll be able to redeem it.
