Reality vs Adventure Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Should we be cautious buying a game with add on content like Deluxe ed. and have the code already expired when you open brand new sealed game? That happened to me. I bought a brand new sealed game 3 years after release and the expiration date for the deluxe add on code was expired a month before I opened it. And now I would have to spend 10 dollars from the store if I wanted those add ons. I've already spent premium price for the Deluxe version of the game. Is this common? Edited September 8, 2020 by Reality vs Adventure Game was 3 years old not 2 from release date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 With as old as the game was, yes that would be common. DLC codes all have a shelf life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 It had happened to me, that I couldn't activate extra content. But also had one game where I bought a game retail, and it was sitting sealed in box for years, and when I finally got around to opening it the code was rejected, and the on-disc version of the game was no longer supported.

Shagger Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 My sympathies, that would be very irritating, but sadly as @The Blackangel pointed out it's to be expected and there isn't much that can be done about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
