They are the same company that run the Fandom wikis and now own Gamespot and Giant Bomb and TV Guide. They are a real company selling real keys. They just want your info because they are evil.

Fanatical is owned by Fandom, of terrible-wikis infamy. They just spit Steam keys at you.

It's a method to stop you from claiming a million free keys and reselling them yourself. Humble actually used to do this for every key but stopped for whatever reason.

I bought a bundle from them a few days ago with the old Jedi Knight games, and got like 10 advertising emails in 3 days before I blocked them off. I'm probably never even gonna play the fuckin games

I've spent plenty of money from games on fanatical, and I haven't once had an issue The only complaint I'd even make is that some of the bundles that they have, have a bunch of shovelware games

The only caveat is occasionally I’ll tack on $.99 for a “mystery” game key for Steam. I’ve done it like four or five times since ‘20, and every time it’s been a game I already own, on Steam no less. I just post ‘em here

Aaron Sorkin admitted in interviews he didn’t know who the Chicago 7 were before being tapped to make the movie by Spielberg. Probably why he wrote a movie where Abbie Hoffman gives a big speech about how much he believes in the system.

Gobbeldygook posted:Once a carder has a stolen credit card number they usually make a small purchase to verify that the card works before they start buying clothes and hoverboards, e.g. when my card info was stolen they first ordered a soda through Steak 'n Shake's app then followed it up up with a $600 online order from Old Navy. An unexplained $0.99 iTunes purchase used to be a blaring siren that said you got honked and were about to get cleaned out, but I think Apple has beefed up measures on their end so carders don't use them anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if carders were now testing cards by buying Steam keys from Fanatical (and then reselling the keys on G2A) so often that many banks just automatically lock your account the first time you buy from Fanatical. This really hosed me and my idiot hell bank (US Bank) did nothing to tell me why. No damage was done to me that was not done by the bank and their mishandling of the legitimate charge.

I don't know if I'd know if my bank blocked fraudulent charges or not. What I do know is that the only time my card gets locked is when I'm making legitimate purchases, and whenever someone has gotten access to my card details, the charges go right through.

Once I left a debit card at Taco Bell in Nottingham and someone ran up about £315 worth of charges on it. It was my fault for leaving at as I was pissed as a newt, but I don't know how they got my PIN. I got all my money back, but I had to go to my bank in person because the telephone people were arseholes. Another time I had someone make a few charges on a different card in Macon, Georgia, a town I have never been to. I had to get a new card, and I did get all of my money back. big cummers ONLY posted:Oh yeah american kids fuckin love Aaron Sorkin Not American, but I did like that old show Sports Night.

I've seen enough of the education system there to say that it's dreadful. It makes the UK system look decent, and that is probably the worst insult/non-compliment that I could possibly imagine.
