I find it a little ironic that the game is not warking for me, but the actual transformers I bought some time ago are being delivered to my home today...

I want the game to work ._.

FU5E · 07-04-2011, 06:50 AM

No Key here too...

Ky0 · 07-04-2011, 07:30 AM

I get the same thing too. Should we raise a support ticket for this?

RipVanWinkle X · 07-04-2011, 07:34 AM

bah...

SvZurich · 07-04-2011, 07:37 AM

Same issue. Joy.

At first I was mad, and then I realized this game is published by Activision, so

NOT BIG SURPRISE

Oh well, I guess none of us will be playing Transformers today. Happy 4th of July Gamers.

A certain "different" .exe allows you to play the game right away, although it doesn't have Steam Community or track time played...

So this morning I went through and did everything Valve asked me to do, verified the integrity of game cache, renamed the blob, restarted steam, still nothing. Did the firewall, straight into my modem which sucked because I had to take the modem out of bridge mode, and still nothing. Tried on two different computers, my account and my son's account.

I think it is a case that Valve is out of keys from Activision because this game has never sold well until the July 3rd sale.

Valve please respond and fix by issuing more keys!

Mystrios · 07-04-2011, 08:27 AM

FU5E · 07-04-2011, 08:29 AM

yeah i considered doing that, but i kind of want the game for Multiplayer and not Singleplayer (allready completed it once)

We're currently out of CD Keys for this title which is causing this error. We're contacting the publisher to obtain more and hope to have this resolved within 24 hours.
Apologies for the delay.

I am hoping that we get a chance to return it (and get our money back), or get a free game in the mean time (of equal value). If I go to any store and buy something that doesn't work, then i get these options usually. Only bought this to play today on the holiday with some friends.
