Steam Sold Out Of Prey, Please Try Again Later


Recommended Posts

Is that even possible?

One of the advantages of digital distribution is that you'll never run into a sold out sign - or so we thought. Steam seems to have completely run out of 2K's Prey. Who knew?

2K's futuristic alien shooter Prey was part of the ongoing Steam end-of-the-year sale, until they ran out. That's right, Steam is completely sold out of a downloadable title, running out of keys for the game before the sale could run its course. How does this happen? Well this is speculation, but I would assume a game like Prey requires some sort of CD key, which are generated by the company selling it on Steam, and there is a finite number of them available.

They even said on the Prey page that they can't supply people with it because they ran out of keys and would have to order more.

They don't just have a keygen and shell out random codes. They purchase product keys from the publisher just like you and I might. xD

As stupid as I'm about to sound, I genuinely thought they did that and just passed on any money to the right people. Interesting to know!

Whatever, I have no idea who Comic Book Guy is, I came across the site while searching for a problem on Google that I was having with Vista, I decided to join the site after taking a look around.
