Good luck to them. They probably just killed their popularity. CDkeys was a legit name, old, retro, something you'd relate to. Loaded is just some gen-z cringe shit, you know, the generation that doesn't actually buy games?

The CDkeys customers are hardcore cheapasses trying to find loopholes, those customers ain't going nowhere no matter the rebrand.

Activated.com is a much better name

CDKeys is my go to for keys. They got the best deals.

Green Man Gaming is also good.

I went to preorder Hot Shots and it was marked at €30 but at checkout they stuck €8 tax, basically bringing it up to the same price as steam. I'm pretty sure that this never used to happen.

Probably got hit by EU tax enforcement. Or maybe there was a new regulation that passed. I doubt it's CDKeys doing it out of love of European taxation system!

Yeah fuck people for getting a better deal, only cool people like you love to spend £70 on games instead of being sensible and paying less. Your logic is baffling.

 

[Krathoon]

If I really want a game, I will try my damnedest to get it down to around $50.

Only once in a while I will splurge on a collector's edition.

They are reliable. Their codes actually work!

What's weird is I get a lot of adds on YouTube for CDKeys. Why are they spending money advertising only to change the name?

Mashed Potatoes

 

[xrnzaaas]

CDkeys always sounded like one of the illegal sites for downloading games, but just another case of changing what people are used to. Rebrandings are almost always idiotic and I wouldn't be surprised they'll lose some of the customers who used their services less frequently.

Silly move

But why not Loadedkeys?

Everyone knows what a cdkey is.

People recognise the save symbol even if they've never used a floppy disc in their lives.

Loaded was a lads mag from back in the day iirc.

Loaded (formerly CDKeys.com). Great, we are going to get another X (formerly twitter) for the rest of our lives.

Think picked up around 11 games last time i was there for pennies. Will I ever play them? Who cares at that price but they are nice haves in the library. I think Mad Max was £1.50 for example.

You should care if you spend money on them.
