I've still got 6 copies of Dead Island: Epidemic gift in my inventory, what should I do with them?

Closed

Since the game has been shut down, what should I do with these items? Will these stuff ever have a value? Maybe I can sell/trade them for crazy steam game collectors?
Basically they don't have use anymore.

If you cannot turn it into gems, then yes, trashbot is the best place for those inventory items.

but those copies are tradable, or else you wouldn't be able to trade with it.

I think there's a trash bot you can give the gifts to.

Yeah I know trashbot but thanks anyway. I'm just wondering if there is any use of them apart from throwing them to the trash?

You can still get new ones by buying dead island games so there's not exactly a shortage. I had one Beta gift left in my inventory when I bought one of the dead island bundles for Riptide/Escape and got four regular gifts and I'm sure that was after the shutdown

Where are all these copies from, by the way? I've seen multiple people around with plenty of these in the inventory. :B

I have one, and I can't remember how. I think if you got beta access, you got a spare copy to give away... or maybe there are a bunch of other ways. I don't know.

I don't think you can activate them anymore, but I'm not sure, since I already activated it.

Initially devs give 4-6 ciopies to alpha testers (Alpha Carriers) to give to friends, also later if you bought Dead Island or Dead Island Riptide you get 4 giftables, that was for those who wanna to join during the alpha and beta test, cos it was realeased on steam as F2P, and those giftables were no loger needed to play the game.

Also those giftables copies were (maybe im not sure) usefull some time ago (long time ago) to unlock steam accounts, during the time were you can unlock your steam account to full by activating a gift,

I think there are plenty of people on here that would still like to have it - you never know, somebody may fire up a server someday, or if not, we can imagine it. :D

Stop spoiling my wishful thinking...I prefer ignorant bliss! :P
Who knows, maybe they patch it and put it back out there for private server hosting, maybe somebody cracks the protocol and makes it work...let me dream. :)

This game is not on the giveaway list, so he cannot give it here.
Moreover you should not ask users for keys/gifts, you risk a suspension for begging.
Please be more careful from now on and be sure to read FAQ and Guidelines as soon as possible.

Unless some people ask you to give it to them, there are just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many copies of those floating around in large enough quantities to make them worthless even in the reasonably long run. So either be super patient or just trash them.

I have them too in my library
Maybe someday they'll worth
Hopefully the developer resurrect them back someday? :P

Just curious
If you use one of them can you idle them (in the past)?
Now if you're idling them, can you get cards?
