    It's a gray area. I don't think they discuss this on the forums tho.

    I think it's something you could look up yourself?

    The thing is, there is no telling whether you actually own the game or not. Its like the situation where someone has forgotten/lost their password to their computer and asks for advice to ''unlock'' it. We have no idea whether the person owns the related item or not. So unfortunately, this cannot be discussed on NBR as it is against the forum rules. Thread closed.
