For anyone who thinks it's too much trouble, or that it's difficult, to prevent having to get another authorization key for games: Making a backup copy of your game key is simple. Got a brailler and some paper? Slate and stylus? How about a tape recorder and a blank tape? A CD that you can put the game executable file and a .txt copy of the game key onto? Really. It's not that hard, and it's your responsibility, gamers, not the developers. From what I've seen, the cost of a replacement key for games isn't all that much, but shouldn't we, as the purchaser, keep the key we paid for when we bought the game? I think so. I did not back my game keys up, suffered a hard drive crash, couldn't recover the info, and had to pay for replacement keys to some of my games. I did not complain, because I knew who was at fault. Now, I've got 2 sheets of braille paper with keys on them, and I add a key to the bottom when I get one.

So my point here is that a replacement key for a game and a replacement key for other things can be a vast difference in cost. I do agree that we should take as much care as possible in keeping game keys safe, but it is not always that easy. By the way, we did not get the spare key, I just get wet!
