EB's Nat Smyth writes, "The introduction to any game can be one of the most important parts of the game, because it’s the moment that either sucks a player in, or deters them from wanting to delve deeper into the game. For me, a lot of the time, the intro to a game can be the most memorable part, no matter how good the rest of the game is, because that will always be my first memory of the game after booting it up. Now, I’ve been playing games for most of my short 20 year long life, and by no means am I an expert, but I’d like to think I know a solid introduction when I see it."

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.
Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.
Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.
Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄
So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.
I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.
