That would make sense for alot of reasons.

Thanks for your reply.

I got this game by digital download from Gamersgate. When I go to Steam I do not see anything actually labeled Acount Management. When I go to my games CoD is not there. Steam requires a Product Code to activate CoD. Right now Steam doesn't even recognize the existence of CoD in my account, let alone have a Product Code for it. I've run the installation file from Gamersgate many, many times and when I get to the Steam screen it asks for the product code -- and I have no product code anywhere. That's IT: Dead End -- Period. I've tried Gamersgate support, but haven't received a reply from them.

Steam should be outlawed (I really mean that).

I haven`t shopped at Gamergate for ages, so it is just one idea:

Do you have some sort of account there? Could it be possible, that the code is stored there? This is how Aerosoft is doing it.

Just a shot in the wild though.

edit: The German DVD had a sheet with the code too.

The cd-key for the game should be under your games list on your Gamersgate account. Normally there's a button you have to press to reveal the cd-key for the first time.

I have an account/logon there and all my games from there are listed. The "codes" for those games that have them are listed with each game title, but CoD has none. Thanks for the reply.

There's a list of my games in my logon. The "codes" for those games that have them are shown in plain sight under each title. I don't think that there are any buttons, but I'll check again. Thanks for the reply.

I think its a recent feature since GamersGate added in the ability to gift games. When you buy a game you have the option to gift it to someone, but if you reveal the cd-key the game is associated to your account.

Yeah,

then the fault is at Gamersgate. Steam can`t "know" you have purchased CoD until you enter your key.

edit: Curious,

maybe you should open a new thread asking the guys who bought there.

Gamersgate finally put up an activation code for CoD on their website. And those of us who bought it on the 19th only had to wait four days for it. Not especially professional on GG's part.

kilosierra, when I posted here I also opened two new threads asking the guys who at GG if they were having the same problem.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who replied to my plea for help.

Sorry,

hadn`t seen your other threads. Glad you`re finally sorted it out.
