Had to like Crysis 3 in facebook to get the serial, fired up origin, wanted to download it, nastygram: for "children's security" this game can only be downloaded between 23:00 and 06:00 in Germany. Fun fact 1: I had to enter some numbers confirming my age of my identification card on facebook in order to get the serial.

    Fun fact 2: I do not even life in Germany.
