Oh Ok. I guess it's worth a shot.

I'm gonna continue on with the games after SR2 for now, and I'll double back and try SR2 after I'm done. Probably wont get to it until tomorrow. I'll post the results when I have them though.

I bought the Bethesda bundle on the 22nd, but wasn't able to finish the actual payment process until the 23rd. At that time, no keys were left. But I was still able to put the bundle on my shelf and see it in my list of games. The January wait was fine as I have played everything in the bundle already on console.

Fast forward to now, and everything is FUBAR. The Bethesda bundle is still on my shelf, but it is gone from my list of games (I have no idea what the difference is.) My order still says completed and no sign of a force refund anywhere. Paypal says everything is cool, and I never received an email.

I just really wanted Skyrim and the Fallouts. Skyrim is on sale now on Steam. Am I going to get a forced refund? Will I get the bundle after all? Should I buy Skyrim now on Steam? I am afraid that waiting for GamersGate to figure this out will cause me to miss the Steam sale.

Do we think anyone is going to get keys in January?

For all those doing the "copy my installer-folder" real-quick trick for Gamersgate's games before your game installer's EXE gets destroyed...
...This is ALSO valid for games you download directly from UPlay & GameFly, as well.

With those two - you'll want to make sure AFTER you download the game, that you copy your entire folder elsewhere - with the installer EXE file intact, of course.
That's before you click INSTALL in UPlay's or GameFly's browser, that you backed your stuff up elsewhere; OR that you just close the browser program and then decide to run the EXE outside of the game-program.

My guess is, you're shit out of luck. Anybody who didn't managed to get and redeem any keys, will not be getting any keys in January. It's fairly clean and simple for them to just cancel your order and issue you a refund.

It's a little bit more convoluted for people who actually got some of their keys. But that obviously doesn't apply to you. Sorry man. :(

Site says today's deals are good for 3.5 more hours. I wonder if that's an error or if they intentionally pushed back the flip time two hours. I'm not saying up until 5am to find out, that's for sure.

I think mispricing and refunds are one things, accidents happen. However, with people being promised codes in January to be reneged on and some people having their money basically sat on while GG claims "WINTER BREAK" is... more than a little shady.

I can't say I'm all too inspired by their work, as a bystander. My suggestion is just cut your losses, don't use them in the future, and actively recommend others do the same. Used 'em a few times in the past but far as I'm concerned, they no longer exist, no way I can trust my money to people like this.

If you struggle to get your money back next week still, probably need to just go for a chargeback. Let them eat the fee and think about how they should run their shit in the future.

But I would like to re-state what I said above: I was able to get my Skyrim Steam key *AFTER* GG stated they'd fulfill our missing keys in Jan. This *AFTER* is also after Taskbarbarian above says that he was unable to get any keys out of his pack, INCLUDING Skyrim. Why was Task not able to get a Skyrim key, but later on I was?

Here's all we really know for sure. GG is run by a bunch of ups.

sorry if asked before but does the crisis pack activate on steam?

Pretty f*cked up of GG to quickly remove these games yet not give refunds out. I still have $22.50 from the BL2 packs with them.

I had a feeling they'd cancel the orders, but with that comes the return of the money.

Solution for GG? Don't take any money unless keys are available. How about adding a f*cking stock system like other retailers. You obviously need it with your constant price mistakes.

88% on Street Fighter X Tekken... for how long? 2 minutes?

Well... at least it looks like they fixed this one quickly.

Jagged Alliance was on 92%

I have come to the conclusion that GG is a poorly managed company.

XCom at 25% off for $37.46.

Wow congratulations Gamersgate you managed to have an even shittier sale price than Steam did, except you don't have the client or anywhere near their traffic to pull it off.

Meanwhile it was $20 cheaper a couple of days ago at Greenmangaming.

But the more it costs, the more blue coins you get rewarded! It's win-win!

That's actually an old daily. It was either 33 percent off or 50 a day or so ago. They're just taking forever to remove dailies now.

Just a question/comment regarding your game shelf... I see a few people mentioning that games have been removed from their shelf. For me this is odd as I have never had any games on my shelf. Granted, prior to this debacle, I had only purchased 1 game (plus the free Volvo game). Has anyone's shelf been like this or was my Mom correct in saying that I am "unique".

Mine were never on the "shelf" tab. They were on the "all games" tab, which is listed as a subsection of "my shelf" in the menu on the left. So, they were part of "my shelf," but not my "shelf."

My shelf is empty as well. Looks like you arrange it yourself by clicking the icon on the upper right corner of it.

Yep, same here.

Gotcha. I guess I was thinking it was more like GOG. Thanks.
