Anyone bought this game from CD Keys and worked?

[Momo-senpai]

I'm asking this cuz i heard some people bought it from there and activated it on steam
while it is not available in their region on steam.

[Topzchi]

yea it wont work if eu people for example try to activate usa key

the site definitely tells you what regions can activate that game key.

it says global key and can be activated in my country.

that's a grey market, you aren't supporting the devs by buying it there and you have no guarantee of the validity of the key, it could even be a key that gets charged back in the future for being stolen/illegally purchased & charged back/etc.

this shows the legitimate sellers, don't purchase from grey markets.

Then it shouldn't be any problem. Just make sure it also says steam.

Fanatical is cheaper if you're getting the Deluxe Edition.

fanatical is an authorized vendor, while cdkeys is not. you should still pick somewhere that's an authorized vendor of the game. greenmangaming has it cheap too and is one I use a lot.

That's kind of a good thing, this publisher put trash DRM in their game and doesn't deserve support.

If they don't want people buyinjg from grey markets, maybe they shouldn't treat their customers like criminals. People who pirate the Switch version don't have to put up with this.

I played the original smt 5 on switch a few years ago, Now i want to play it on PC for
better graphics and fps with a new story too.
i have 2 options only:
1- buy it from CD keys
2- never play it on pc

I have tried to buy from other sites but the key will not activate in my country.

Careful with that word around steam forums, you can easily be banned from discussion for even insinuating it. Stupid, I know, but screw Atlus for doing this on their games. People blame Sega, I don't care, screw them all.

As far as I know CDKeys is actually not a grey market, but a legitimate key store. They are the ones who sell all the keys. They don't have other sellers/resellers on their website and all prices are based on the average price of that game in all regions around the world.
