aaron doesn't do key replacements. It's really fuckin' stupid, I know. But because of this, afraid you'll have to buy it again.

Wait, seriously? 40 dollars, and you only get 1 forever license?

That, plus the heavy exchange rate, plus the lack of actual game support AKA updates makes me think that I will not be getting this game...

Yeah... like I said in another topic. lol There is a reason mainstream games drop in price as they get older, because people don't want to pay full initial price for something that is no longer being actively supported.

Unless you can say your email account stopped working or something. that developer has the brain of the dinosaur with the smallest brain sometimes

Moderation:

Like it or not, folks, discussing the sharing of a key in this instance constitutes illegal distribution. Please don't do it. Consider this a caution. I don't want to have to warn anybody specifically.

End moderation

While I may agree with you that support has generally stopped and that forty bucks is a lot to pay, I can also tell you that, like a previous poster pointed out, I was able to retrieve a key from Aaron when I sent him a polite email. I doubt he'll do this over and over again, but it is always worth reaching out to a developer before just assuming that they won't do key replacements. If Aaron is cherry-picking who he gives keys to (as in, for the first time), this is definitely bad developer etiquette and needs to stop.

That is completely bullshit. A $40 game should have a key replacement.

as much as it is common sense to backup whatever, if you lose the key to a software that someone else owns, that someone should be able to give you your key back.
post #3, it is not nice to raise drama like this, especially if you don't know what you are talking about.

I stick my keys in a text file and stick it in dropbox.

I guess if there's a lesson here, it's Backup, Backup, Backup! Computers crash. Drives fail. Accidents happen.

I have all important keys in text files which go into my Dropbox, but then they also get backed up weekly to Backblaze. Do something like that, or have your keys on multiple computers. If you're really paranoid and you can use print or Braille, write them down on a piece of paper. That way, every computer you've ever used could come crashing down with every last bit of data you've ever had lost forever, and you might be missing lots of important stuff, but your product keys would be safe. Even more paranoid? Make a copy of that piece of paper and lock it in a safe deposit box somewhere outside your home.

Hello all!

A couple of quick notes.

Yes, the official pollacy is, no key replacements. This is for a number of reasons, mostly just guarding myself against an eventuality where I cannot devote any time to audio games any longer. Most audio game devs get to that point, and for manual fulfillment it is usually painful to even get them to perform said product fulfillment. A true travesty.

However, though I officially don't do key replacements, I almost always do, with an additional reminder that key replacements are not a given, and that the ultimate responsibility of maintaining your information rests with you. Many small businesses have similar warnings.

A second key replacement request, however, is almost never granted.

The OP's key has been sent just as I respond to almost all requests.

Also Brad, I'd like more information about when you sent your message. It may have been sent to the wrong email or could have been lost in the backlog if I was on holiday at the time.

I suggest you reissue your request and if you don't receive an answer, something may be going wrong with your EMails. I think you are on the audio games mailing list, so post about it there if you can't get in touch and I'll email you about the issue.

Now it is time for a rant. Please read.

1. Sharing keys is never, ever, ever permitted for any reason. If you are complicit in this, you will be considered a pirate and will be treated in the same manner.
2. How did this false statement that I do not support Manamon come to be? Support does not mean adding new content!
Support means fixing bugs. That's it. Support does not mean making updates to the game. It is not a given in the video game world that updates will be issued for a game, especially if they contain new content. Most often such content is DLC, you have to pay for it.
Yes, there are examples of games, plenty of examples, where new content is regularly added. But it is not a gold standard by which all, or even most, video game designers in the mainstream operate.

@ElizaBaez... OK. Very unkind. Why are their not rules regarding insults on this forum?
Or if there are, why are they not enforced? This type of comment is uncalled for with all due respect.
