Hello
I just wonder if Game code expires or not ?! Can I buy them now during the sales and use them later ?
Which codes are you looking to buy? In theory they do not “expire” however they may become obselete, like with the release of Shadowlands BFA keys became “useless” as BFA became part of the base game.
Within the EU, expiring game codes, vouchers, and giftcards with value still on them, is illegal, as it is tantamount to the company confiscating money. There are a few exceptions, for example when HoF went bankrupt, their giftcards legitimately expired, as a new company took ownership.
Within the US, sadly, they expire. Though I am informed it is slowly changing to a similar system to the EU where they are not allowed to expire, state by state, due to consumer pressure.
Where Blizzard gamecodes fit in into the legislation, I am unsure.
I believe Blizzard used to grant a free boost with expired expansion codes when the expansions were rolled into the base game for free. Though that has stopped for a couple expansions too.
I’m not entirely sure if the code has “value” then if said expansion is made free of charge, to everyone. Regular gametime codes and balance cards have not expired so far from what I’ve seen.
Hence why I said I was unsure where they fit into the legislation :).
