Fanatical
Einführung
Fanatical is a UK-based digital store selling officially licensed game keys, mostly for Steam, along with bundles, DLC, software and e-books. It is a single retailer that buys or licenses its stock from publishers and developers, rather than a marketplace of independent sellers. The store is owned and operated by Focus Multimedia Ltd, a company in Staffordshire, England, that originally published budget PC software and games on CD-ROM in the 1990s.
Focus Multimedia launched the store as Bundle Stars in 2012, focusing on discounted game bundles. It was renamed Fanatical in November 2017 to reflect a wider catalogue of individual games and other digital products. In 2021 Focus Multimedia was acquired by Fandom, and Fanatical continues to trade under its own brand as part of the Fandom group. It is known for regular themed bundles and Mystery bundles.

Kaufen bei Fanatical
You need a Fanatical account to purchase. Keys appear in your order page and must be revealed with a Reveal Key button before you can redeem them, usually on Steam; some games are delivered keylessly instead. Prices and availability depend on the country detected from your connection.
Orders with no revealed keys can be self-refunded within 14 days, except pre-orders and Mystery purchases whose titles have been viewed. Once a key is revealed or a keyless game is activated, a refund is only offered for a verified technical fault. Self-refunds cover the whole order, not single items.
