I could be wrong but I think Alienaware receives those keys for free as part of a promotion or publicity stunt. Giving away old games would meant they have to buy it soo.... don't think it's gonna happen.

They occasionally work one in here or there but, yeah, it'd be great to see that happen more often. No Man's Sky wasn't exactly a new release and it still sold out in a heartbeat, so there's clearly some interest in notable older titles.

@StompsDaWombat -NMS was sold partly because it was well known and partly because it was the only one from the march vault who didn't had a "total crap" rating on steam; it was old but on march 27 devs launched a new update/chapter (1)

(2) Orbital ; and I don't argue about the fact that people want some older title (I'm part of the crowd) but I don't see Awa funding such endeavor without publishers support.

(3) The vault who sold NMS opened on March 22. Forgot to add this information.

im saving my arp to games which are worth it tbh, i didnt redeem a single game until now :)

I prefer older games too. Nostalgia aside, older games were usually passion projects and the dev teams behind them loved what they were creating and were given time to bring their artistic vision into fruition.

Now, new games are either rushed nothing-burgers put in shiny wrappers hastily expelled by teams of rushed, unpaid, overstressed devs, or the lovechilds of entitled inexperienced political activists put on the helm of milliondollar projects

I miss the time of the Bioshocks, Vamprie the Masquarade Bloodlines, the Dragon Ages, The Silent Hills, the Devil May Crys, the time where writing, visual exposition, fun gameplay and storytelling were at their peak.

I decided to upgrade my outdated computer after 10 years to be able to play more games, and I still find myself returning to Fallout 3, Stalker Anomaly and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic because I do not find the new releases interesting:)
