Well of course lol. But when that fails to launch, this is the next best thing.

Err... Actually no it isn't, but at least it's something. Tired of seeing people hoarding copies of games which have a price mistake.

One copy for yourself is fine, but there are people that are buying up hordes of copies with intent of flipping them for profit.

They should have done it IMMEDIATELY. Also LYING and saying they will be getting more keys in January to fulfill the bundle (at the same time, still selling bundled items like Skyrim and having keys for those). Then they just shoot out an email a week later and say they won't honor it. Borderlands - REALLY? One shitstorm over a price bug that happens allll the ing time, and they let it happen again? FIX IT. If they are too dumb or don't have the money to fix it, at least load the freaking page after posting a discount to see if it lists the correct price. It is mind boggling how incompetently they run their business. I haven't bought a game from them that wasn't a 'bugged' price since the IGN discount, since they are typically a bit more expensive than others.

Get over it

Redeemed keys on Steam are safe yes/no?

If they do that, there'll be hell to pay!

Well taking the game back is one thing, but taking it back without refunding my money or even notifying me that it will happen is called Stealing\Scamming where i'm from.

they didnt take mine back, i think if you reveal your first key they dont take it back

Get over what exactly, there is like a half dozen perfectly fine vendors for me to buy from. their loss, not mine.

Relax, you'll get your money back. No need to start freaking out. If they don't fix the issue in the next few days, message support and they'll take care of it. But honestly, I'd probably send a message tomorrow since support is probably getting bombarded.

Get over your hate toward them. They're making mistakes, sure. But whining over it here isn't the way to go about it. Don't use them as a DD, plain and simple.

I would prefer that they don't revoke keys that have already been activated. But I guess it's probably a good idea to cancel and refund orders where keys haven't been given out yet. It sets a precedent, and from here on out whenever they have a price mistake (and they're sure to have more), a lot of people's first reaction is gonna be, "why bother? They're only gonna cancel my order".

I couldn't do that, it was no option to see them. Only Download.
The BL2 pack got removed from my library, but no email or refund came to my way. All i have is my Receipt of Payment from Paypal and Purchase Order from GG.

According to others there is a precedent for keys being revoked and games being pulled from accounts. Gamersgate would have to go to Valve with a list of keys to be revoked...but I believe they would have to go through Bethesda/2K as well as Valve, and even then they would turn a lot of people off from using their service again. I'm thinking it's unlikely at this point.

What doesn't make sense is that they lied on the page for the pack they said "We are out of keys until mid Jan. We will process refunds for those who'd like them"

And then WHOOOP

Give you refunds whether you lieked it or not!

But of course, it's within their Legal TOS to do so . That just sort of irks me.

I know they didn't directly control Indiefort but it was on their site and there was a lot of shenanigans that went on with that where people got the impression that one of the games was going to get a Steam key that the developer never agreed to and there's another game that was supposed to get a Steam key that some people still haven't gotten and Gamersgate support is telling them they were not supposed to ever have gotten it in spite of the fact that the developer handed over the Steam keys for it to them already.

I don't know the exact page where the drama starts, but it's in this thread:

Probably. Gamersgate doesn't directly have control of that so they can't do anything about it directly but they could potentially try to convince Valve and/or the publisher to intervene on their behalf.

We will just have to wait and see what does or doesn't happen.

Well, I think these two will be extreme cases where way too many people got in on the deal than should have, if they do end up revoking the keys. Worst case, though, is that you'll have your money in blue coins with no game(s), which isn't that bad.

Revoking keys is not so great of an idea. Especially since trading/selling keys is so prevalent.

Ghost Recon is still in my library, I can download it but Uplay wants a key and GG doesn't provide one

I've got the same thing. Seeing as they didn't say anything about Ghost Recon, we'll probably be able to get a key without a hitch once the rage-wave passes.

How do you redeem keys on U-play? I downloaded it the otherday but couldn't find any options to do so.

BL2 4-pack still shows up on my account but I never got any keys so I guess I'll be getting refunded?

Have you tried gifting it to yourself?
