There are probably lots of other collectors in this sub so I just wanted to warn everyone in case they want to buy anything before they're gone. I don't know if there will be any sales or new replacement versions. Complete list here
i just picked up Oct 2024 humble choice. everything was going fine when I was claiming the games, but some games stated that keys are temporarily exhausted for this product, when I clicked to claim it.

i never had an issue like this from humble or any other game bundles. anyone else get this issue before, and how long did it take for the keys to refresh?
As the title says, my City of Beats key was revoked moments ago. My copy came from Fanatical's BYO Play as you Go bundle from last year. Has anyone else been hit with a revocation message, or otherwise know what's going on?
Hello everyone. (I am fairly new to the sub and clicked on the question tab.)
I wanted to buy an xbox game key from the xbox official page to gift to my brother. The Assasin Creed Origins Gold edition is on sale for 15 euros. I have 2 questions. Should I wait for black friday from your experience if I want to buy maybe a different newer assasin creed on sale or even this one more on sale? Second, can I purchase the game and get the code to an email and not have the code bounded to my xbox account on the web, so for it to be a gift. Thank you!
Hey folks,
We wanted to provide an update on our charity program. As you likely know, /r/GameDeals doesn't allow affiliate links, but we do make an exception for approved charitable causes. These charity affiliate codes are listed in the sidebar of /r/GameDeals, and we strongly encourage their use!
Today we are pleased to add a new approved charity: Gamers Outreach
First, an introduction. Gamers Outreach works to provide the joy of gaming to children in hospitals throughout the United States, and around the world.
Hospitals can be a scary place for kids, and they're usually not much fun. Gaming can help take kids' minds off the stressors of being hospitalized, and can be incredibly helpful for keeping one's spirits up. Games are also a powerful tool to connect with others, and offer a great opportunity for socializing and making new friends.
Besides connecting kids with games, Gamers Outreach also creates mobile gaming kiosks called GO Karts. These Karts include everything the hospital staff, patients and their families need to support a sense of joy and normalcy with gaming. Their programs are already in use by hundreds of hospitals today.
You can read more about their mission statement here, and see a third-party review of their non-profit here.
How do I use a charity affiliate?
Currently we only offer approved charity affiliate codes for Amazon links. Though Amazon isn't as active in the deal scene these days, our user base is large enough that we can still move real money to these causes by remembering to use them. As such, submitters are encouraged to include a charity code in their links when sharing Amazon deals (explained here), and readers are encouraged to click one of the convenient charity links provided by GameDealsBot (example here).
Do you know of any other charities that would fit in with /r/GameDeals? Please send us a modmail! We'd especially love to support Amazon links from additional countries, as currently only the US and UK are covered.
If you're with a storefront and want to offer your own charity program, please also get in touch. We would love to support more stores and more great causes.
Thanks for reading, all. Please let us know if you have any questions about Gamers Outreach or how to use these charity links.

Update: False alarm! It seems that unreleased games do indeed disappear from family sharing, but they return to family sharing after release. Apparently, this is done to prevent players from abusing early access or something like that.
You can track the update history via SteamDB and see that the changes happened on September 4nd: Changed Categories Removed Family Sharing. Valve has made no announcements but it seems that Family Sharing will be is disabled in every new game by default.
Examples:
According to the previous owner, JonnyC (assuming he's the real deal, the account itself seems new but he likely lost access to his previous official one) on the Groupees chat:
everyone please be aware Groupees sadly is shutting down; I don't have access any more to hosted serverad yols so not sure when lights will get shutoff but please be sure to download your account assets ASAP
I believe new owners stopped paying bills for servers so could be shut off at any time... might have until end of month, but sooner is also possible
I believe this was about a week ago, hard to tell with Groupees chat. Obviously the "end of the month" has passed since then, but servers could still go down at any time.
Edit: An ex-Groupee let me know that hovering over the chat timestamps lets you see the full date, so JonnyC posted those messages on Aug 21.
For the past few weeks Indiegala has had the the game Undernaughts on sale for 75% off, but every time I've tried to purchase a key Indiegala tells me that it's out of stock. What's weird to me is that every time the sale ends it's extended by a few days but it's never restocked. Is this standard practice for Indiegala?
I was just logging into Gamersgate for the first time in ages. They claimed my password had "expired" and had to set up a new one using the "forgot my password" system. I did this, and they sent me my new password BY EMAIL IN PLAIN TEXT! Has the Gamersgate website been compromised or is their IT and security department living in 1999? EDIT - OK according to most people here that know a lot more about IT and security than me, it's no big deal and most companies are fine with doing this. I'll contact https://plaintextoffenders.com and let them know it's time to retire their site.
EDIT 2 - Ok, just to demonstrate how bizarre most responders takes on this issue are, I checked on the plaintextoffenders.com site and Gamersgate.com had actually been reported years ago on 2018-04-28 08:30:07 GMT. So this is an old, known issue that the company never bothered to fix for at least 6 years. Remind me to never ask on Reddit for website security advice! I'm not sure if this is some concerted effort from interested parties to sow disinformation or what! Maybe the incredibly dangerous, uninformed excuses seem convincing and authoritative to the average non-expert?
