I've been wanting to purchase Witcher: Wild Hunt as a gift for months now and you're still barring it from any possibility. What gives? It's Christmas time, could you try and resolve whatever your problems are with this so we can have it as an option.

A friend of mine had to buy it through G2A and gifted the key to his brother. You can also buy it on Steam which comes with a GOG key and you can gift it to your significant other

I wouldn't recommend buying it through G2A. There were lots of instances of revoked keys because they were bought with stolen credit cards and resold on G2A. GMG sells GOG keys afaik, and the Steam version doesn't yields a GOG key (only for the first two games it does).

There's no problem to solve. This is intentional. GOG prevents gifting this game worldwide (probably due to regional pricing).

You may just have to give him the $25 and tell him to buy it for himself.

G2A has something called "G2A Shield" which is just an insurance that confirms that the key is 100% legit, it only costs like 1.20$ for every purchase (and its optional). I have never used it and there was only 1 time when I had a problem with a key, I sent a mail to G2A and 2 hours later I got a refund

Sure its a grey site but its not that bad

Does it?

And in case after 3 months your code is revoked? Does the "G2A Shield" help then? No

You could buy it on the Humble Store.
I suppose it will be on sale at some point this season.

I don't understand why they don't allow us to just buy gift certificates then. The arbitrary decision to lock out some games is just going to push me to a different distributor.

Thanks for the ideas.

GMG does not sell GOG official keys. GOG CEO stated straight out they do not have a business relationship with GMG. GMG gets their keys off the back of a truck in an alleyway in Russia from Dmitri.

Yepp, but at least the keys work.

If you bought the key with G2A Shield it should not be revoked but if something like that happens you just contact support
