Is there a cheaper way to get the game?

[Stefcho Snaipera]

I'm super excited for the Steam release of FF XVI and would love to play on lauchday but sadly I don't have that amount of money rn.
I'm not talking about piracy. Are there legit ways to get the game for cheaper on pre-order?

Yes. Get your money up.

already got my key from GMG, F cdkeys

I use ALLKEYSHOP price comparison site, surprised nobody has mentioned it.

Compares all the reseller sites and official storefronts and will tell you if the key is global or tied to a steam account etc. (don't do this).

Literally google Final Fantasy 16 allkeyshop.

Cheapest at the moment is CDKeys @ €39.49

Regarding key resellers, I have used most of them over the years for myself and friends. 50+ keys purchased and only once has a key not worked. Emailed support and received a refund (store credit of course) + a new key.

This is the way

most resellers are fine though. g2a and kinguin is bad though. (I bet the names will be censored. you can probably guess what 3 sign website i'm refering to :P).

Is GMG just not selling to Canada? They have no deals when I look, not for this game.

use the coupon SEP15 and you will get a 15% discount

I have no idea if this game has regional pricing, but if it has, you could make like Brazilian account or some ♥♥♥♥ and buy it for pebbles.

GreenManGaming. Legitimate official storefront for steam keys sourced directly from the publishers... and FF16 is -18% off for Gold XP members.

This. If you know you're gonna love the game GMG is the only way to buy new release games. Usually get 15-25% off new releases and if you live in a downright evil state/country that charges tax on digital goods you can avoid paying taxes on said goods at sale (don't forget to report them on your tax return tho).

I use GMG alot, but keep in mind you can't refund games with GMG so if you don't like it or it doesn't perform well your stuck with it. Unlike steam which takes 10 seconds to get a refund.

Green man is the only one I’ll vouch for with past experience of nothing going wrong + decent discounts

I've never refunded a game I've bought.

I don't buy games to test if I would like them, I buy them only when I know it's something I actually want.

Dumb logic. Nobody refunds until they have to. It's not like I buy games thinking "gee it would be nice to waste 100 gb of bandwidth just to refund a game 2 hours later."

I knew I wanted Dead Space Remake but it stutters every 2 minutes. I knew I wanted Jedi Survivor but it stutters and crashes all the time. Both refunded.

I still want those games, just not willing to pay if the dev never fixes them.
