Mesquite55 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Is there a way to gift this game to someone? I'm thinking of buying the download version for a friend. What should I do to give the giftee the link and code so he has it permanently and can download if misfortune strikes his computer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baneman Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Just email him the link and code. He downloads, installs and activates as if he'd bought it himself. Worked for me when I was given CMBN when it came out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiter Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I plan to buy this game for my friend in christmas eve. I think that we pay for the license code, so if I email it to my friend and give link to download the game.

Mesquite55 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Ah, ok. Well I was hoping I could give it to him in such a way that if he lost the game somehow (hard drive failure, corruption, etc..) he could re- download the game without having to go thru me. Oh well, I guess sending him the link and the activation code will work. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiter Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I quess, have not tested, but I think the installers are identical, so only thing what is needed, is unique activation code. Someone correct me, if I have been mistaken. Edited December 22, 2014 by Reiter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I went to the "Download area" and since I was logged in, it was offering me a download if I entered my key. So that might also work if he registers with BFC. Plus, I suspect the download link may stay viable for a good long while. These are, however, just guesses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A co Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 My friend gave me a couple of my CM games, and as I recall once you have the download code sent to you it is as if you 'own' the game, no difference to one you paid for yourself. And yes, he paid for his own as well. Great gift idea- what other gift returns so much fun and challenge for so many years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
