Cannot Register Crusader Kings II

[Doktor Soviet]

Okay, so Crusader Kings II is about 2 years old on my account, which seems to be the issue since I bought Charlemagne and Old Gods today on sale and they redeemed successfully. However, with CK2 it gives the "redeem code not found" message.

And I'm sure nobody cares but Paradox, your forum DRM thing is a bunch of broken bullshit. This is the 3rd time it has given me issues, but unlike the last 2 times this isn't something I can solve on my own, but thanks for going the Ubisoft/EA route of screwing over the people who actually bought your products.

Registering games here is the only proof of purchase we ask for, so you can access out support resources. It is not DRM in any sense. We removed all DRM from our games when we brought in this system several years ago, in fact.

Most likely the code doesn't work because you already used it with an unrelated ID on the old forum. Please log a ticket at paradox.zendesk.com supplying that CD Key and we'll sort it out.

I logged a ticket, but don't kid yourself, this is essentially DRM in forum form. I mean, I can't access the submods for CKII (which is all I am trying to do, just so I can get some examples for my own mod) just because the forum registration doesn't work. This system is really contrived. I do believe you guys have gained the "arbitrary" trait for this.

Sorry if I am being a whiner but considering this is the third time I have had issues with game registration, I think I have a good reason to be upset.
