A (also known as a game code, digital key, or serial key) is a specific sequence of letters and numbers—usually 15 to 25 characters long—that acts as a unique digital signature. It proves that you have purchased a legitimate license to play a particular game.
Publishers price games differently depending on the economic status of a region. A game might cost $60 in the USA but only $20 in Russia or Brazil. CD game key sellers often buy keys in cheaper regions and resell them globally, a practice known as "arbitrage."
: Some keys are restricted to specific geographic regions (e.g., Europe only). Always verify the region compatibility on the product page before purchasing.
