Can I recover a game key which was registered with Games for Windows Live?

Hello Domnsync,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

I am very sorry for what you are going through, in theory, yes, you can recover a game key registered in Games for Windows Live.

Registration information for retail games is still maintained in the Microsoft database.

However, in practice, it may be difficult or impossible to recover the game key.

Here are some steps you can try:

Try signing in to your Windows Live account. If you are able to log in, you can view your game registration information on your account profile page.

If you can't sign in, you can try to recover your Windows Live ID. To do this, visit the Windows Live ID recovery page and follow the instructions.

If you cannot recover your Windows Live ID, you can contact Microsoft support.

Microsoft Support can help you recover your game key if you can provide the game registration information, such as the game title, serial number, and purchase date.
However, it is important to note that Microsoft does not guarantee that you will be able to recover your game key.

Registration information for retail games is stored in the Microsoft database, but is not publicly available.

If Microsoft decides to delete registration information for retail games, you may not be able to recover your game key.

As for my opinion, I think Microsoft should do something about this.

It is unfair that users who purchased games on Games for Windows Live cannot play their games if they forget their Windows Live ID or if the ID is deleted. Microsoft could make it easier for users to recover their game keys, for example, by providing an online recovery tool or allowing users to contact Microsoft support to recover their game keys without providing registration information.

Hi Marvina. Thanks a lot for your detailed reply. I'm impressed as you are as caring as I am. I understand maybe it will be useful to contact them to revoke the key, or do smt. about it but everytime I try to connect them, it leads me to these community pages. How can I directly get in touch with an expert from the company and tell this situation.
