Can i know the date it began? I created recently a ga with this game and it is a amazon steam key, and i don't want my ga to be assimilated as a polish exploited key.
Maybe the polish keys have similarities ( i notice they look the same when a lot of keys are issued ) and are different enough of amazon keys ( mine begins with 5MQ )

if you REALLY bought your on Amazon (highly doubt it - suddenly everybody bought it same day exploit happen - and there was no sale on amazon for it -.-) - post proof to support - mail from amazon with your billing nfo screenshot - and they will let you make ga for it.

Heh, I have 3 keys sitting in my Amazon account, they just recently allowed those keys to be used on steam (I had no idea until all of this, last time I tried was a month ago even). It's a bit sad to find out this way. I'm sure support can work this out with you though, since you can show a receipt / part of the key or whatever.

Well i can give the proofs if needed, i created the ga without knowing there was this problem ( and as i filter games i own did not notice the game spam ) it's pure coincidence and pure bad luck.
Also i'd like to see what those exploited looks like, if they are far different from mine it's a proof by itself.

then you should contact support immediatelly, not waiting to see, if your GA got tagged or not - check wbarton's topic regarding these keys - you need support approve b4 making a GA, if u didn't know - then now you know and you should make a ticket not to have ur GA deleted. Of course if you really have proof you paid for the game.

I think i should be safe, i created my ga sunday and the exploited keys seems to appear the day after, that was close :D I did not have this luck with the red faction armageddon and guerilla wich were marked as bundle just before i was about to ga my amazon keys.

Gar, bro - i know, but the point I was making is that due to some unbelieveable accident, suddenly all the people, who claim they bought their copies from Amazon somehow decided to give all their keys away at the exact same moment the game was eglible to being exploited... coincidence? -.-

I don't say all copies ppl have are exploited - but if someone creates GA the exact moment that exploit is active, while sale was a while ago, and claims that it's key from the sale - i call it a lie.

Might be, might not be. It doesnt matter in this case anyways, since support said the giveaways are okay.

a magazine is gifting it to their region to promote subscriptions or something.

(but I think you're supposed to actually subscribe so most people are basically stealing them)

Well... not really. It should be free for anyone who bought magazine... but they can't check it, so it is free for everyone who register there (and have polish IP).

I don't know why they instead of deleting them all manually they don't just disable gifting tales of valor for awhile or change cv to zero or something. its basically stealing them from that magazine right?(last time people got used keys with their legitimate subscription cause we took them all or something?) at least until after the polish get theirs/

or would that not actually help because they'd just wait. lol

bet steamtrades is even more flooded with them

but even then http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/Vtx5e/reminder-cd-action-keys

which confusingly wasn't mentioned http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/B6xqu/update-regarding-cd-action-keys-new-policy X]
so it seems policy is still a tad fluid lol

edit- ah the exploited site is called cd action...I was thinking cd keys. in that case it feels like the only reason to allow in the first post was giving up on controlling them. the 2nd post sounds like reinforcements correcting that surrender. ha. so not fluid at all. crumbled temporarily and then repaired.
