    Thanks for heads up, they decided the servers needed to be punished as every link available is now 502/504 time out errors.

    So the chances of anyone getting a key is now slim. Not sure why they didn't just out on steam as free and use steams servers.

    Yeah, once the site started working again all the keys had already been taken by bots. Poor execution lol.

    Who was shortsighted enough to not foresee that key resllers would just hammer the site with bots?
