Can Still Preload if Key is not purchased on Steam?

[Lt.Marlow]

GMG has a discount for WTNO going on right now, can a I still preload if I redeem a key for this from GMG?

[2woDads]

Yes I did with thief. I had a thief steam key added to steam and pre-loaded before launch

[Rapture Rising]

I pre-ordered Wolfenstein from Green Man Gaming nearly a month ago and i still haven't received my key, all it says is "no keys available until the game is released"

So that means there is no option to pre load.

GMG aren't releasing their keys till after release I think.

Damn, really? I'd really like to preload , seeing as the game is so large.

[ЯƐ⅁4L⅂ⱯG3ʁ (R3G4L)]

Just depends when keys are available. I have gotten keys early and some hours after release.

I sent a PM to a mod of /r/gamedeals and got this

Hey,
Cdkeyhouse is considered an unauthorized CD key reseller. That means that they don't obtain their keys from from legitimate sources, but instead buy and resell from other regions where it's cheaper. As these sites can be considered dangerous we don't allow them here.
Thanks,

So I'm going with not really

[Shere Khan]

Yes it can be trusted. Just ordered and received my key instantly.

[Drenus]

bought 18ish games from them sofar, never had an issue, so yea, they are fully trustable

[CD_Media]

I've bought stuff from them, they are legit.

[Venom Phoenix]

They're unauthorized resellers and their name is censored on the steampowered user forums when you type it

[HACKERMAN]

I've heard of them. They're like the PC gaming black market. I wouldn't necessarily say you shouldn't trust them because they're on thin ice with the whole unauthorized reseller thing, so I wouldn't think they'd be dumb enough to start ripping people off.

Though, keep in mind, due to their notoriety they probably don't make much cash so don't be surprised if they do get desperate. I wouldn't buy from there.

Do you actually know what legit means?

They aren't legit. They have no license to sell these keys. There's high risk even if you get the working key. As previously stated they buy the games in a russian vpn then resell them for a bit more which ends up being cheaper than US prices.

That's why the steam market's TF2 "Mann Co Supply Crate Key" are dominated in rubles sale prices if you don't have auto convert currency on.

Edit:

The question now though is who are they buying from so we know who's giving keys early.

Edit:

Least it's only $8 more w/ a free game on GMG. I don't care about the preload I was concerned about the recieving of the TF2 items but not so concerned that I'd buy from a shady site that VALVe censors the name of

[Drenus]

so in your book, Cdkeyhouse, is shady, but GMG isn't?, lulwot, they are 2 diffrent companies, who do the exact same thing

oh and as i said before, i have dealth with both many times, they are both perfectly fine to use

[2woDads]

GMG has a license, CD Key house doesn't. How hard is that for you to understand. Also the GMG wolfenstein doesn't come with TF2 items.

this gave me cancer

Edit:

GMG is licensed and gets their keys from legitimate sources and just happens to have coupons whereas CDKeyHouse buys them from sites with a VPN to get cheaper than US prices. VALVe also censors the CDKeyHouse name when its posted on SPUF. It is also banned from /r/gamedeals, and never shows up on isthereanydeal.com
