Do not buy THQ games and do not buy games from Amazon.com.

Company of Heroes: GOTY was not a steam key. It said nowhere on the page it was steam redeemable and was stated in multible places on the steamgifts forum that it was not. It is not even an option to give away, you instead decided to put it as Company of Heros: Gold. You deserve the negative feedback in my opinion.

Most keys should still work, but given the recent paper work is still in process this might be a common problem. If you still can, get replacements for them. I'm sure the winners should understand the situation.

thq bankruptcy doesn't mean their key will no longer work,in truth,all digital stores are still selling them,and thq official store is still open http://shop.thq.com

some thq keys from amazon are not steam reedemable,such as company of heroes goty,dawn of war series,that is your question

Something in amazon bundle not reedemable on steam:(wonder why somebody is still giving these away)

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War Gold

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War Winter Assault

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War Dark Crusade

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War Soulstorm

Company of Heroes Game of the Year

Achtung Panzer Kharkov 1943

The reason for number 3 : Do not believe whatever OP said, because he didnt read b4 he buy.

Amazon 4 life.

In addition to Company of Heroes: Gold not being a Steam key, it seems like Amazon promptly and easily fixed your problem. So why all the hatred? Amazon has great deals and excellent customer service.

And the idea of THQ keys not working anymore is completely inaccurate and uninformed.

Going to keep on buying THQ games from Amazon.

Nothing to discuss, this seems like just a rage-filled vent on a site and company that had one mistake over the thousands and thousands of successful transactions and operations made daily.

did you check there profiles to see if they have activate them?

There you go. I fixed your reputation. I deleted the offending giveaway. Check to see if Steam redeemable in future, mkay?

No hidden giveaway? Damn, I was excited when I saw the bold letters...

Fuck you

Next time read things before you make a giveaway instead of assuming every game key ever is for steam, because obviously steam is the only way to play games ever.

He didnt know he was wrong stop being assholes guys, he made a mistake he now knows, calling him an idiot and flaming is worse then his mistake. Grow up everyone

So what you're saying is that a company that fixed the issue no questions asked and straight away is bad and shouldn't be dealt with?

I'll put this politely; I disagree with you and will not be following your advice.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say with your edit, but if you click the link to the product (i.e. COH: GOTY) from the THQ Mega Pack product page, you'll see that it doesn't say anything about using Steam. In fact, there's a customer who's slightly disappointed that the game does not activate on Steam.

Meh, still gonna buy games from Amazon.

The thing that bugs me more than anything is calling your story a "fable." Well, you are correct in one way - your story is fiction, and fables are fictional. Your stab at a "moral" is pretty stupid and ignores the other, more obvious morals like "you can't read," or "the winners sold their keys." But you lack the anthropomorphized animals/objects which would have helped make this a true fable. Perhaps you could personify the COH key so it would say, in a gruff, drill-sergeant manner "hey, ya moron, read my DRM requirements before ya post me on Steam Gifts."

Then it would be a very nice fable for all of us to read.

For a second there I got worried because I had bought loads of THQ mega packs from Amazon and have been giving away the keys. Panic set in. Would my Rep be ruined? Would I be hunted down by an angry mob?

But then I read the thread and realized I didn't gift non-steam keys as if they were steam. Phew, saved by literacy! Thank you, my Reading & Comprehension teachers.

**edit: discussed and answered privately

Dummy.

lol, this thread is ridiculous. Amazon didn't do anything wrong. If OP had taken the time to read what about what he was buying then this issue would've been avoided. All products which are redeemable on steam have "DRM: Steam" written below the title on their product page. If Alffie is going to point fingers at innocent people for his own screw up then I'll be sure to avoid him and his giveaways in the future.

You should close your thread as the mistake was made by you and not by THQ or Amazon.

Whenever I had problems with Amazon they immediately fixed the problem when I mention it to them and they have been making crazy deals for everyone to enjoy. They surely don't deserve someone like you to bring people in a flame war just because you can't read and assume they're responsible for your mistake.

amazon is amazing and I love using them for steam keys. I made a mistake and bought the wrong prototype pack which came with prototype 2 and its DLC with steam keys, and prototype 1 was drm free. i told em about it and they sent me prototype 1 steam key, and another prototype 2 steamkey with its dlc.

Well this thread went as expected when I clicked on the title. Move along people.

Any chance of a retraction of your ill-informed statements ? Or are you happy to slander 2 great companies because of your incompetence ?

Don't buy from Amazon? Hahaha, lololol, good one!
