I actually got one for Sins, but Impulse does not seem to like it. It says the serial number is not recognized by Impulse...Any idea?

They're not gone, they have over 100,000 keys. They just found out that guys like you (Cool Face) were trying to get the key even if you're not from Poland and you're not a CD-Action reader.

News on their site:

http://www.cdaction.pl/news-8611/komunikat-klucze-do-gry-sins-of-a-solar-empire.html

Quote:
Redakcja CD-Action oraz Wydawnictwo Bauer przepraszają czytelników oraz firmę Kalypso Media Group, za to, że w wyniku fatalnej pomyłki udostępniła na swojej stronie klucze do gry Sins of a Solar Empire.

Zostało to dokonane bez stosownej zgody ze strony firmy Kalypso Media Group, w związku z czym informujemy, że zablokowana została możliwość pobierania tych kluczy z naszej strony WWW, a te które już zostały pobrane ulegają unieważnieniu.

Za całą sytuacje serdecznie przepraszamy naszych czytelników oraz fimę Kalypso Media Group.



Translation:

Quote:
CD-Action staff and Bauer(publisher) would like to apologize our readers and Kalypso Media Group, since the keys for Sins of Solar Empire were published as a result of a fatal error from our staff.

It was done without the permit from Kalypso Media group, and thereby the ability to get the keys has been disabled, and the keys that were already given were also disabled.

Once again we apologize our readers and Kalypso Media Group for this situation.


Wow, quite a nice fuckup right there....

Mine hasn't been banned yet it seems. I've had the game installed though before the announcement. I can launch Impulse, fire on the game and join multiplayer games without any problems.

Yeah...bad-bad people for not giving you free stuff they weren't supposed to in the first place...shame on them...

For thsoe who already have it: I can start my copy without going through Impulse, so we just need to avoid starting it up, and we should be fine.

Wow. You want people to lose their jobs and suffer, just because you didn't get a free game today? You are pretty damned childish.

QFT

And CD-Action is more than 13 years old and is far from going bankrupt.

More news:

Quote:
We would like to clear this case up. The CD-keys were given to us by Kalypso officials, legally, by signing all the documents with Kalypso regarding the distribution of the game in Poland.

Many people realized, however, that the keys (which we were told only activated the game for CD-Action readers) enabled people from all over the world to download the game from Impulse servers(owned by Kalypso). Soon an English website posted the news on their front page, the news spread and soon many "smart guys" decided to get a key from us. Immediately after we heard of this problem we blocked all registrations coming from outside of Poland, but since it didn't stop the mass downloading of the game, the key distribution was stopped.

Tomorrow we will discuss the case with Kalypso officials, I hope we can find a mechanism which is profitable for us and Kalypso Media Group.

From now on you can still play the single player part of Sins of the Solar Empire- the CD-Key is needed for multiplayer only.

Nope, they said that a major foreign site posted it on their front page (this thread is hardly a front page) and they had a serious flood of requests. This handful of people here could never generate such a high traffic.

Yes I do. And may their houses burn to ashes.

Geez, it's called the internet people. Don't believe everything you read.

Shit.. I had registered the key, but not downloaded the game -- now it says it's invalid and won't let me download. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted (and I'm not about to bitch and whine over not getting a free game either Razz)

That's because Champions is retail now, not beta anymore. Most of those keys are beta keys.
