What not good? I dont understand language in your screenshot. Key is normal 100% guarantee when I put it there. If not working all question to ninjas.

Quite a few of the keys you post give me an "invalid" message. Not the usual "already used" message like if a ninja got it. But a message saying it's not a correct Steam code. I wonder if it's a regional issue? Because other users say they were able to claim them later. But they definitely don't work for me.

@klingki @seyig99085 Guys, I don't know why you can't activate some of my keys. Here's a proof that everything is fine with him:

Your forgetting the copy and paste (its adding a character that should look like this  or a question mark, an invisible space

Type the product key next time and see if that stops happening ;)

Well yeah, that's also true, haha

I guess in a good way, it inadvertently stops bots from just scraping the code directly since they'll also get that invisible character.

Now you made me go and reply again 🤣

Code in most low level languages almost always requires a null character at the end of any text string (basically an invisible space lol)...because of this most programmers learn to strip all characters from the front and end of a string before they really even learn to code very well.

In the case of web scraping its even more complicated since its HTML and needs to be parsed, I would bet they know exactly which characters are valid in a Steam Key.

We all know the general key format since its posted on the Activation page, they would usually use a text formatting called regex that uses those formats and takes only the letters and numbers allowed.

The simple version...lets just say the bots would have a better chance than we would because they can "see" in the code what the character is and we can't, so it can tell its not a valid character for a product key.

Well, you clearly know more about it than me, lol

The real issue: why even go through all that trouble just to scrape up the usually pretty low quality of keys we are sharing here? Of course, maybe it's just ninjas, not bots. Or even worse, robot ninjas?

That why I spoiler tagged it...don't want to be acting high and mighty about it, its just what I love.

I clearly know jack about most of the gaming sites most people here are hardcore into lmao... we all learn about what we enjoy doing, to each their own.

Honestly though, thats one thing I don't understand myself. Its alot of wasted effort...only guess I have is they already made something similar to scrape more important sites for key data (like trading/selling) and just figured why not...or its just quiet people (The 🥷) hanging around.

I mean, why did we all buy into IGs leveling system when its usually US dropping the keys there in the first place--to snub each other?
It doesn't make sense after being here long enough to realize that simple fact. We support the idea of people cheating for levels and then complain about it lol. I don't get it.

As for the bots (if they are), someone will always make something to be lazy...then they give the code away and it grows into malicious and ridiculous just because people can.

A good example is the automated phone spam you know every sane person not gaining from it has to despise lmao.

Someone made that and sold the source code so people could try to steal information. Imagine getting ripped off to try and rip people off? :ROFLMAO:

I only know because i wanted the source to block the damn things, so I needed the specific methods used--but I sure wasn't paying the bastard for it...rather buy an old school phone for the same price to strangle them with lol.

if you have a PC/mobile phone, an internet connection, and time to waste to log in to Indiegala to be a demanding brat, then believe me, by all means, you're not poor

If they can play the games on their wl (scam l?) they ain't even close to poor heh.

If it wasn't so outright funny I'd be asking why anyone is even entertaining this alt+troll anymore lmao...thats not even a language barrier, thats "me act foreign" speak 😂

you will do as you wish, I cannot tell you what to do..
we all are here, among other things, to get games for free, but have my advice - with that kind of attitude, you'll not getting any game from me, that's for sure.
behave, be nice, try not to be demanding and greedy, be helpful, and most of all - remember that sharing is caring, and you'll be more than welcome here
