Sorry, Jeff! I didn't see the other post, dummy that I am, and I certainly wasn't trying to be picky/obnoxious. Apologies!

Mental note: don't annoy the man whose avatar is a big cartoon guy with a gun.

No worries. Just remember, I'm always calmer than you are, dude.

And for the love of pete some non-grinder take Crysis 2 Max Edition (Origin key) off my hands. It's one of the best shooters I've ever played! Awesome visuals too.

I have that, and also still have Mirror's Edge (origin), Dead Space (steam & origin), and C&C 3 Uprising (steam) keys available for free to a non-coffee grinder.

Free coupon!

Orcs Must Die 2: 50% off. FREE!!!

Contact me and we'll need to set up a trade on Steam (I like trading cards, but I don't need anything for the coupon).

I'll get the ball rolling, I have the following games available for free. No coffee grinders, sorry.

Origin Keys:

* Crysis 2: Maximum Edition
* Burnout Paradise: Ultimate Box
* Mirror's Edge
* Dead Space

Steam Keys:

* Dead Space
* Nuclear Dawn
* Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising
* Drakensang
* Patrician IV
* Patrician IV DLC

edit: if your GWJ account was made after this post, forget asking me for keys. Please stop PM'ing me with requests.

New people, welcome to the site, but we generally don't give out keys/freebies to new people (aka 'coffee grinders). Too many people make accounts and run off. We typically give keys/freebies to people in the community. Please, stay a while, make some posts and become part of the community, but please stop making accounts and PM'ing for free items. It's not going to happen, at least not from me.

You've opened the floodgates! The end times are upon us!

Just a warning here. there are people signing up for new GWJ accounts, and begging keys. I even got some asking for keys for games I didn't even have listed. Others have told me that the same happened to them. Pretty sure these guys scour gaming forums for free keys, then go sell the keys on ebay. It's your key, but I would encourage folks to avoid giving keys to new accounts.

The simple solution is to pass the Trine 2 key on to me.

It's the only way to be sure.

Definitely already happened to me, and I'm a lowly Intern. Had 2 people PM me for keys -- both accounts were created < 2 hours ago at the time.

Danger danger, high voltage, et al.

Keys available for anyone higher than a coffee grinder:

Trine 2 Complete
Mark of the Ninja
FTL

Hemidal kindly gifted me a copy of The Ship that came with another gift key for the same game.

So if any non-grinder wants it, PM me!

EDIT - .....AND CLAIMED!

I'd happily take it off your hands

I'm down to FTL, and nobody on my friends list has it on their wishlist. It's free, damn you!

I also have keys from the latest Humble Bundle, free to the first non-coffee grinder.

Brutal Legend
FTL
Mark of the Ninja
Trine 2

All Gone!

I've got keys for everything in the latest Humble Bundle save for FEZ, which I'm keeping.

https://www.humblebundle.com/

I'm going to check and see if anyone on my friends list needs them, but drop me a PM if you are interested.

Okay, I have some stuff I could give away to non-Grinders. I'm at work, but I can send stuff when I get home, so PM me here but friend me up in Steam. First come first serve! I have the following:

Check my post on page 2!

Edit: Friend me up if I've promised you something and I'll send it your way.

So, I found a home for Eets, but I still have:

Mark of the Ninja
FTL
Trine2
Brutal Legend.

Free to a good (non-grinder) home.

I have a Steam key for

Super Meat Boy, Lone Survivor, and Braid Steam key (bundled) from humble bundle 5 for any non-grinder that wants them, or at least 1 of them. *CLAIMED*

and a Frozen Synapse key
and a Nightsky key
from humble bundle 6 for any non-grinders

Keys up for grabs:
Warlock - Master of the Arcane
Europa Universalis 3 Complete

I also have a Civilization 5 key hanging around. Message me, cause I'm probably not going to check this thread very religiously.

edit: And it's been claimed. Frankly, I'm a little shocked that there are so many people out there who don't have Civ 5.

From the latest Humble Bundle, I have Steam keys for:

Trine 2: Complete Story gone to Aaron J.

FTL (does anyone not own this game?)

Preference to non-grinders, but grinders okay if no standing member steps up.

Many thanks to LilCodger for Trine 2: Electric Boogaloo!

MotN and Brutal Legend have been claimed.

I'm still holding on to a Botanicula Steam key from the last Humble Bundle. First non coffee grinder to PM me gets it. Seriously gang, this game is a true gem.
Edit: Claimed by TempestBlayze! Enjoy it in good health!

I have a EUIII Steam key if anyone wants it.

So I jumped on the Indie #9 too. There's a note though that says "Steam will not provide extra giftable copies of games you already own" So if I already own FTL and claimed Brutal Legend from the Double Fine bundle, I can't give away the extra keys from Indie #9?

Not at home now to double check the keys that get generated against my library.

Given that others seem to be giving them away no troubles, guessing all is good. So, up for grabs:

  • FTL
  • Brutal Legend

I think it means that if you were to enter the code to activate in your Steam library when you already owned the game, it will not create a gift-able copy of the game in your inventory. You can still give someone else the key for them to enter it on their own.

It means exactly that. I learned that the hard way when I activated a key for Binding of Isaac when it had already been gifted to me. Nothing happened as the game was already in my inventory.

Though technically, they also have the disclaimer that "All keys are for your personal use only." Which, to some at least, means that keys cannot/shouldn't be given to other individuals. I guess it's open to interpretation what exactly constitutes "personal use" - whether or not gifting of keys falls under that.
