The Keys To Happiness - a Steam & Origin (and Desura!) key giveaway and trading thread

Should be a fairly trivial exercise to pop a little script into that sheet and add a “last edit” column for going forward. I can set that up tonight.

There’s also the “view history” option which is much messier and not sortable at all and there’s no easy or apparent way to extract that data from the sheet.

Edit: Discovered something new! You can right click on a cell and click “View History” to figure out who added/edited a cell and when!

Perfect. I was also not aware of that functionality. Very helpful.

Should we add a column for date added and/or date expiring? I'm betting quite of few of those keys are not redeemable anymore. I can't imagine a company would have keys sitting out there indefinitely. How would you even account for that?

I'm not sure any of the Humble or Fanatical keys I have have an expiration date. Obviously, Desura keys are dead, but everything else is viable.

Maybe we should add a date posted column?

Some of my Humble keys going back to 2017 are still valid. Steam Keys don't seem to expire by default.

But! For very specific games/promotions they will list an expiration (like "loot box" codes I never use). But if they don't explicitly list an expiration, as far as I can tell they last "forever".

I'm not sure about that. I had at least two keys expire. Maybe those were special cases though.

I received a GOG key for Wasteland 2 that had an expiration date of Dec. 27th, so it's definitely a thing at least sometimes.

Yeah their free ones have expiration dates

For those it explicitly says the expiration in the Humble key list/dashboard though, right? Maybe I'm lucky, I'm never had an "unmarked" one expire so far.

The only Steam / GOG keys that expire are special promotional ones that are given away in bulk for free. These are marked clearly as having a 2 week or so valid-offer window.

Wow, our list is huge. I'm pretty out of touch with gaming (read older now with kids and job, etc lol) so anyone got any recommendations from the list for good games for 9-11 year old. I'd be more than happy to cut that list down a bit.

After a quick look I'd say the following definitely be interesting for 9-11 year olds

Crashlands
Goat Simulator

And here are a few others
Fez
Pixel Heroes
Pixel Junk Shooter
Screencheat

Of course for that age I always recommend just buying Minecraft and/or most of the Lego games (but especially the Lego Star Wars - The Complete Saga, which is superb fun). I don't see any keys for those on the list.

You can check out any of those titles on the Steam store to see if they'll fit your kids.

Peace and good family gaming....

Long shot. Anyone got a spare key for My Pet Dungeon for War for the Overworld?

Gave some money to fight the fire in AU and now I have games to give out.

Euro Truck Simulator 2
Hacknet
Tower of Guns
Machinarium

I added a script to DateTimeStamp when someone enters a new row. Should work but I don't know how to get dates for all the keys already entered.

Thx to Baron of Hell for Eurotruck Simulator.

Anyone have a spare Dirt Rally 2.0 key laying around? I'm tired of the bugginess this game has on windows game pass.

Much like Baron, I also have duplicate steam keys from the AU bundle if anybody is interested at all:

Armello
Paradigm
The Adventure Pals
Regular Human Basketball
Mr. Shifty
Tower of Guns

Thanks, tidbit2030 for the copy of Armello. It looks interesting.

I have extra key for EU 4, and its Res Publica and Wealth of Nations expansions, if any still need.

There's game pass specific bugs? I installed, but haven't loaded it up yet.

I think its mostly related to windows store version, which is the version game pass uses. It has 1.9 rating on it with nothing but complaints about crashing etc... it could be me just having bad luck too, but anytime there is an update I have to reinstall all 100 gigs of this

I have one more option for my Humble Choice and I have not yet redeemed Two Point Hospital, Graveyard Keeper or Middle Earth: Shadow of War (because I own all three of those games already). Would anyone like a copy of one of those three games?

First come, first serve. PM me.

Edit: Redeemed.

To whomever wants these: The correct answer is Two Point Hospital.

I'll take two point hospital, if it's available.

edit: All keys are gone.

I have 0 more available games to claim in the february humble choice. Let me know it you want any of these.

pathfinder: kingmaker explorer edition
book of demons
cryofall
okami hd
the hex
night call

Also some time ago I won a key for Battletech. Turns out I already owned the game. Should work but I won it on a random Twitch channel so I'm not 100% certain.

Thank you for The Hex, freki!

Oh Okami was so good back on the 3DS. Not that I would ever have time to play it again, but someone should grab that.

Thank you freki for okami!

Many thanks PWAlessi for the Shadowrun Returns key! grazi

Thank you Antichulius for the Insurgency key!

I've got the following Steam keys that I'm never going to use. If anyone would like any of them drop me a message:

Phantom Doctrine - GONE
Ancestors Legacy - GONE
Dead in Vineland
Horizon Chase Turbo - GONE
Dark Future: Blood Red States
X-Morph:Defense
Aegis Defenders
Desert Child

Cheers!

Anyone interested in a copy of Moss for Steam? Great puzzle/platformer... really great VR game.

The only thing I ask for in return is a good joke. First one to message me a joke gets it!
