I'm just wondering if this code is still valid if it's unused.

I know back when I bought the CD the website said the code won't be obtainable after 12/31/14 but is it still usable and valid if I were to give the code to someone for them to get the minion?

I already have the minion on my main account but if I were to give the code to someone eventually would they be able to use it and receive the minion still?
