Since this topic shows no sign of stopping anyway, I'll just point out that I added automatic credit card handling to Alter Aeon specifically so that people could get their credits instantly, without having to wait on me or anyone else. Now, with that experience under my belt, I understand why more developers aren't doing it: it's a huge amount of time and effort, and it requires carefully and painstakingly written code. Given the low volumes of shipments and key generation in the community, I can totally understand why devs wouldn't bother, and would rather do keys by hand.
In short, most games don't have a big enough market to make automated systems worth the effort.
