Dark Souls (Prepare to Die Edition GOTY)

I can confirm that you can buy this from Argentina, VPN on UK. The SMS confirmation arrived very fast. Also, use browser on private browsing, for some reason (even with the VPN) I was getting a 404 =\

"As you all know, PTDE is no longer available on steam store"

I did not know this. Why is this so?

Hello, can anyone confirm please whether the trick is still working or not??

About the issue "bought 1, got 2", I contacted the support to ask if they are aware of this, and what they will do about the extra keys. The support is extra fast by the way.

Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous contacter concernant ce sujet. En effet, nous sommes au courant du "problème" et nos techniciens travaillent pour le résoudre. Nous ne sommes pas 100% définitifs sur la "conclusion", mais d'après nos communications internes, il parait plus que probable que les clés en plus vont être désactivées. Ainsi nous vous déconseillions de les partager, au moins pour le moment.
Nous espérons que cela répond à votre questions. Si vous avez besoin d'autre chose notre équipe reste à votre disposition à tout moment. Nous sommes désolés pour la confusion portée par cette complication technique.
Bien à vous et bon jeu sur Dark Souls,

Basically :
"We are aware of the issue, our staff is working to fix it. We are not 100% sure yet about what we'll do, but it's very likely that the extra keys will be revoked. Therefore we advise you to not share them, at least for now."

Edit after a second e-mail :
And they are not sure yet if they'll say something about the issue on the social media, but they'll try to send an e-mail to the purchasers to explain what will happen with those extra keys.

Anybody know if this keys are region locked or row?

I sent them Q about extra keys

Thank you for contacting us again.
Due to technical error, you have been granted the codes twice. So you can keep them for free.
Thank you for your understanding!
Best wishes

Can anyone confirm if this glitch is still happening or not?

Sorry for reviving the topic, but does anyone know where to get a key of this version? My computer just doesn't run the new one.
Is there a place that still sell or trade the key? Thanks

This morning I sent a second e-mail about this "bought 1, got 2" case.
The first reply said that they were still working on it and things might change in the end, but at that time they were almost certain that the extra keys would be revoked.
But SketCZ got an opposite answer the next day, basically "Hey, keep them man, everything is cooool".

So I sent a new e-mail today, now than the Namco Bandai sale is over and everything is under control. Here is the answer.

Bonjour Jean
La situation concernant les doubles clés est quelque peu délicate. D'un coté nous ne voulons pas punir nos clients fidèles pour une erreur technique de notre part. De l'autre coté il y a des personnes qui, une fois l'erreur découverte, ont abusé pour acheter des nombreux clés, ce qui nous a ramené à désactiver certaines clés "bonus".
Donc dans cette optique nous ne pouvons pas garantir que 100% des clés bonus vont fonctionner. Toutefois, si vous avez acheté juste une clé à la base, il y a des fortes chances que votre deuxième clé ne sera pas désactivée.
Toutes les clés qui sont actuellement actives continueront de l'être.
Nous espérons que cela vous apporte un peu plus de clarté sur la situation.
Bien à vous,
Andy

In English it looks like that :

Hi "my fake name"
The situation concerning the extra keys is somewhat delicate. On the one hand, we don't want to punish our loyal customers for a technical mistake from our side. On the other hand there are people who exploited the bug once discovered, and bought lots of keys, which has led us to deactivate some "bonus" keys.
So with this in mind, we can't guarantee that 100% of the bonus keys will work. However, if you bought just one key, there are many chances that your second key won't be deactivated.
All of the keys that are currently active will continue to be active.
We hope this brings you a little more clarity on the situation.
Yours,
Andy

So, if it's true and final, and it should be :

• You bought a copy (for yourself, to give, to trade, to invoke Cthulhu) and got two ? Both should work (not 100% sure though, but almost).
• You bought more than a copy ? Chances are that some/all the extra keys are revoked.
• You bought shitloads of copies ? High chances that the extra keys are revoked.
• And you shouldn't be worried to give the extra(s) key(s) as there will be no deactivation now. Though you won't know if they are still active, so it might be a pain to giveaway/trade/sell them.

Hope it helps.
