Buying a game as a gift

Post by ncc1701e »

I would like to buy Warplan bundle for my dad for Christmas.
I already own both.

Is it possible for me to buy a second license and give it to him?
Or, is there another option?

Thanks

I guess that if you substitute "father" for "friend" it should work! ;)

Never even noticed the gifting box. What I've done in the past is just not be signed into my account while purchasing so the game will not automatically be registered to my account. Then when I get the email with the serial# I can just send/gift the serial# at what ever time I want. Been a while since I bought a gift, don't think that would have changed any.

Reminds me to ask again this year. Still no gift cards Erik? :)

Just stumbled upon this thread and couldn't resist diving in for a recap and peek into 2023. 2022 has been a sonic journey with The Flower Kings – each release felt like a musical masterpiece! Can't wait to see what they have in store for us in 2023. Any rumors or hints floating around? On a different note, for those planning a weekend getaway, I recently stumbled upon this fantastic guide to a romantic trip to London: https://familytravelwithellie.com/holid ... nd-getaway. Check it out for some love-filled London inspiration! Excited to hear your thoughts on both The Flower Kings and dreamy weekend getaways!
