Because I accidentally made this ;)

_ = some digit,
+, @, % and ? are some letters,
So you need four letters and one digit. Thank you, your Captain Obvious. ;P
If (+) is something in one key, then it's the same in all of the other ones.

The only hint is... 'The best place to hide something is right in front of you.' ;)

To those, who failed to find the answer - Letters are the first ones in games' names, excluding F and M (but you could've checked it, because there are F and M letters in keys) and digit is... 2 (Fortix 2) ;)

I have most the games but those 3 cd-keys must be similar if someone try to solve isnt it ? otherwise it would be superuberalphabeta brute force puzzle.

Well, keys are close enough, but I tried to select different letters to make puzzle a puzzle, not a 5 days brute force automatic challenge ;)

Anyway, if + is something in one key, it's the same in another one. Consider it a hint =)

I don't feel too good trying this. If you accidently activate a different product, like let's say Deus Ex 3 that is still sold somewhere and the legit buyer complains, this might get you in serious trouble.
I know, it is unlikely, but still...
at least give hints how to find out what sign what letter is etc.

There's no chance to activate Deus Ex using any of those, every game got it's own prefix. ;)

It was an example. I still don't feel too good about brute forcing keys. That's all.
Anyone else have fun.
