Gears of War 4 coming free with Nvidia 1070 & 1080s through Oct 30

Picked up one for 26 bucks, sweet, after redeeming I've received an e-mail from nvidia that it was successful, what's the next step?
 
I mean if you really want to go full dirtbag why don't you just buy a key off eBay from one of the unscrupulous resellers who stole a bunch of keys and then file a dispute and get your money back?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why all the hassle? Order an 1070 on Amazon, receive Key and cancel order. Done. 0$
 
A few people here and on Reddit reported that using fake CC numbers work, I tried earlier today, it didn't (probably fixed by the time I tried), you'll just receive an email that there was a problem with the order (CC is not tied to billing adress).

Which is a good thing for me cause it would kill my conscience if it did work and it already killed a bit of my conscience just for trying it.

So for my personal conscience, no way in hell I'll do the buy, receive code, cancel thing.
 
Tempting in a sly way to ease waiting for Amazon to slowly ship my retail copy but, conscience issues aside, I'd rather not have a code like that linked to my gamertag. I know it's not the same thing but the ban some folk got for that 360 marketplace region exploit is still fresh in my mind; I have too much invested in my Live account to do anything even a little "risky" with it.
 
Yoooo wtf, Amazon won't be able to revoke them because the Nvidia codes generated another code, so it can't be tracked down by Amazon right?
Fucking hell, if this gets revoked...

But it links nvidia to your Microsoft/XBL account when you redeem the code. However, you can remove nvidia's permissions from your account after the game is activated.

Because it doesn't work quite as easy as you make it out.
 
Okay another question since I'm new to this world of PCs

I ordered a rig installed with a 1070 yesterday, but it won't get here till after Gears launches. Does that mean I miss out on any preorder bonuses?

No big deal if I do, I'm just curious.

Got mine for $37 on Ebay, seller was likely using the exploit mentioned in this thread. If the license gets revoked I wouldn't blame MS/Nvidia.

Did he straight up tell you he did?


jesus, $37 for two minutes work, and might be a chance of a revoke. Id just ask for a refund man, or you may lose your $37
 
It worked. But now I feel like I need to buy the season pass or something...
 
So if you follow the steps and redeem this, is it supposed to be visible anywhere inside the XBOX desktop app? I redeemed it, but I can't see it in my game library. Will it be available on the 11th?
 
OK GAF, to cut a long story short I have a spare code from the bonanza earlier. Anyone want for $11 Paypal? $10 I Paid + $1 for currency fees etc. (from the UK)
 
Worse than Arkham Knight? How is that even possible? It shouldn't be possible.

Arkham Knight didn't have free-to-play matchmaking.

I assume you intended to respond to the comment about the season pass not being worth $50 and I you would be 100% correct.

The Arkham Knight season pass was a pretty poor value, but I think GoW4 absolutely decimates it.
 
LOL yeah, won't be wasting my money on that.

It's so hard. I really want to buy the season pass now after getting this game on the low, but it's so worthless. I don't do private matches anymore. I don't really find it fun. Unless I can do those kung-fu backflips all day in them then maybe I am interested.
