  • Wow another steam summer sale has arrived! Steam Summer sale 2022 is here and it is full of amazing discounts on amazing games like skyrim Standard edition, skiyrm Enhanced or even skyrim Anniversary. But today we will be showcasing an ongoing steam exploit that allows you to generate Unlimited free steam keys! To be accurate it allows the generation of infinite +1 copies of the game Flock! This exploit in particular might work on other classic games but who cares now as you have access to endless copies of a UFO based sheep herding game!!!
    So Today The Spiffing brit once and for all discovers if the Steam Summer Sale is perfectly balanced or if perhaps Valve have gone too far and printing infinite steam keys and giving out free games might be a slight oversight on their end!
    If you enjoyed todays video then be sure to checkout the steam exploits playlist which documents many of steams exploits: • Steam Exploits
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
    A huge thanks to ‪@Valefisk‬ for helping receive a copy of flock!

    This is one of the oldest tricks on Steam. People were buying expensive games on Steam that had a CD key, then refunded then sell the games on G2A, that's why G2A has a bad reputation of stolen games. In addition, there were dedicated bot accounts doing this, all automatically. I think this was going for a few years by now...

      I mean it's not really as crazy as he's making it out, you can only refund so many games on steam before being put on cooldown, and if you have the time on your hands to make dozens of emails and steam accounts, then steam probably feels too bad for you to do anything about it

      @@Rubafix989 Paladin is not talking the second key generation, simply the first key. People create bots that create multiple accounts, that would buy the games, copy the cd keys, refund and do it all over again until the account gets locked, but it doesn't matter because the bot probably has other 500 accounts up and running at the same time. These collected keys would then be sold on grey market sites like G2A. You can clearly see 'It's just 5/10 dollars' becomes a lot more quite fast

    They patched it already by denying re-funds of Flock. Someone at the Steam HQ must have the bell rung for Spif's channel.
    Edit: I don't know what's going on with Flock but it works with some other games still. Must be because it takes time to process the re-funds especially now that hundreds of people are trying it or because the Flocks that have been re-funded were the first to request it. Spore and Age of Empires 3 are some examples that still work to the best of my limited knowledge.
    Edit 2: Doesn't work with any new purchase now. Effectively making it impossible to do this exploit wholesale.
    Edit 3: Flock has been removed from Steam. This is a Capcom L.

      There is a chain of command as it is, Steam doesn't need Gaben to "Greenlight" a simple decision as to stop a glitch, especially when its costing steam money, and a no brainer.
      The impact isn't that big as it is, worst case, was a couple thousand dollars in total id wager. Hardly tens of thousands, and certainly not in the hundreds of thousands.
      Steam makes more than a thousand dollars a minute, let alone id wager a second.
      Digital keys are infinite anyway, game has been made, no cost from a physical standpoint, especially since a singleplayer game, and company is long gone anyway.
      All in all, they would have acted, pretty quick, already procedures and such in place. Gaben is still on final fantasy MMO with his son, CEO standpoint, a glitch is below him, would be a brief mention at the next meeting, or a simple email. Even the sheer mention, would be in brushed off tone, to say they hardly care. And now, they are aware, so they'll put procedures in place lmfao.
      Plus they could even trace back, and revert peoples accounts.

    Well, unlimited keys isn't a new thing. Dawn of War 1 did a shortcut for allowing people to redeem their physical disk copies into steam. Namely, any of their CD keys are valid for steam, including the one you get when you redeem the game... so you can then use that to redeem the game elsewhere, which gives you a CD key that you can use to redeem the game elsewhere, which... you get the idea.

      You mean ban one of their best security testers?
      Spiff is basically giving them free testing of the service and they even get to score a PR win when they fix said issue.

    Man i saw you type Flock and I was all ready for The Flock, that game with a global death counter that was dead on arrival for a bunch of reasons I won't get into, and was semi-excited it might finally see a revival (because it is fun despite the glaring design choices that led to it's death).

      @@machintrucGaming Game had a global death counter that ticked down every time a player died. When the counter hit zero the game was going to be delisted from Steam and the game was going to get some kind of very special update, devs never quite elaborated on this. Biggest thing that killed it was the implication said update would make the game as it is entirely unplayable. Also REALLY didn't help that Jimquisition was out for blood against any and all devs with even a hint of anti-consumeristic practices at the time. His review of the game left it dead in the water.
