Kudos for you, mamac…
My fault, I’ve done a little research, and as you say for this game there’s no link between the key and the account. Keep in mind that if you get this message…

“Can’t sign in because you’ve exceeded the usage allowed by your product key. Please enter another product key”

… you can still contact MS asking for a new key. I mean… Someone else could be using your key, and he could hit the activation limit. I don’t know what would happen if the other person makes that call before you. But it’s £2, you can give it a try 🙂

Some other games have SSA keys, wich yes, will tie to your account. Be sure to check it when buying a preowned GFWL game.

Be weary of CeX, they have a very bad customer service record. Lots of people have complained on their facebook group about paying extra for sealed copies, in order to redeem codes for DLC, but being sent copies that don’t have access to the DLC. The problem is then contacting the buggers. No phone number and a facebook group that is no-longer monitored. Over email, their customer service extend to canned “We apologise for the delay. Your order will be dispatched as soon as possible.” responses, which means nothing.

My personal experience: I ordered Starcraft 2 from them on the 9th January, when it was listed here. It went to “stock picking complete” immediately, but wasn’t dispatched until yesterday. It remains to be seen if I can actually use the game code, or if I’ve just spent £18 on a backup disk.

Yeah, it’s GFWL. It’s still a slightly flawed in implementation but great idea *almost* done right game though. Silly money for something that deserves to be played.

Better on a console for obvious reasons but the PC version is fine enough if you pretend GFWL isn’t there.

In reply to mamac. Yes, it uses GFWL. And GFWL keys are tied to an user account, so... It probably won't work.
