Last week we gave away five copies of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Now dotTech and IntKeys, a Swiss-based online retailer of video games that sells games at highly discounted prices, are back; this time we are giving away five copies of RAGE (PC version) for free! (Read dotTech’s review of RAGE to learn more about the game.)
| About IntKeysIntKeys is a Switzerland-based company that sells computer video games online at highly discounted prices, e.g. they are selling Battlefield 3for $35.99 [regular price is $59.99]. You may be wondering how they do this. It works like this. First and foremost you purchase legitimate copies of games from them, but they only provide you with the relevant CD key for the game as opposed to shipping you the game box and actual CD. This cuts down on costs. Secondly, and more importantly, IntKeys utilizes the different region prices to their advantage. You may or may not know this, but different regions in the world have different pricing for games. For example, a game in the USA may cost $59.99 but the exact same game may cost $29.99 in Russia. Both are legitimate copies; the different prices result from price discrimination practiced by game producers to earn higher profits. IntKeys buys games from regions in which they cost less and sells them at a discounted price online. So, sticking with the example we already have, IntKeys may buy the game from Russia for $29.99 then sell it online for $39.99. They earn $10 on the sale and customers save $20 off retail price. A win-win, no?

If you want a chance to win one of the five copies of RAGE first you need to read – and agree to – the rules of this giveaway:
- We are giving away Steampowered copies of RAGE. So you must have a Steam account to take part in this giveaway and you must make sure your computer can run Steam. If you don’t have a Steam account already, you can easily make one. Steam accounts are free.
- The RAGE copies we are giving out are region locked to Russia. However, the region lock is for activation only. After activation, the game is region-lock free. Therefore, this giveaway is open to everyone. RAGE is in English (it supports Russian, Czech, and Polish, too, for those of you that speak those languages) and I will provide directions to the winners on how they can activate RAGE using a free Russian VPN from anywhere in the world. Once you activate RAGE using a Russian VPN (it will take less than 10 minutes), you can play the game normally from anywhere in the world without a need for any VPN. If you are not willing to go through this process, then don’t enter this giveaway because you will just waste the CD key.

- Everyone may enter this giveaway only once and win only one copy of RAGE. Anyone trying to enter more than once and/or trying to win more than one copy will be 1) disqualified and 2) be hunted down like a dog by my squad of monkey ninja warriors.
