Please Motoki, don't remind me about that Sleeping dogs "deal" that I missed because I got home late. So mad at myself for missing that.

I was referring to the default price, not the glitch sale.

Given that 99% of those who "didn't get the discount" probably didn't shy away from the purchase on some high moral grounds but rather because they didn't know, the servers were too crashed, they figured the games would be too devalued to bother reselling, etc, I'd say there's no reason to reward those who were basically just never in the picture. Anyway, if I learned anything from the Origin coupon fiasco, it's carpe diem when it comes to these things. Provided the discount stays on until Dec 31 as advertised, that provides you with spring/Easter sales, summer sales, Thanksgiving sales, Christmas sales, Halloween sales, a years worth of "Midweek Madness" sales, etc. Yeah, until I thought I might want it...

Oh, I thought it was just for the month. My bad.

I realize I'm really late to the party, but if anyone has the Bethesda New Year Collection for sale please pm me. I honestly own none of the games in the pack.

I think I might cancel the paypal claim and wait for the keys. Since I bought it as a gift and gift it to my own account I think I'm g2g.
Edit: I just did it, now to play the waiting game.

Amazon does the same thing with bundles that they don't want people buying.

If anyone would know this...

Wow... Things turn fast around here... Went from a stale no news thread to an all out flame war about, well various things from what I've been able to keep up on in the thread.

Just to confirm I too got an email this morning stating that they will honor my partial order and fill the missing keys as soon as they can. I'm just waiting for one so I'm sure when they said they'd fill orders at the end of January the meant they'd fill any partial orders that are still outstanding. Sounds like they jumped the gun with that statement. If they had made the statement after refunding any orders that hadn't had any active steam keys then I think folks would be a lot less angry.

This was my first purchase from GG and I'm not sure if I'll order from them again. They were completely overwhelmed by all these missteps. Guess I'll step back and take the "wait and see" approach. I'm pretty happy with the resolution they provided me and don't mind that I missed the 20% discount for the next year. I'd rather have the games in hand and be done for now.

I understand why they refunded any orders that hadn't activated their steam keys and I think the 20% discount seems pretty fair as long as they do refund anyone that didn't get their order filled.

WTF?

My Borderland 2 Steam Key shows up on my library now?

According to their statement, I'm to assume that they will provide a Fallout 3 GOTY key to me sometime as well, meaning they gave me 11 games for free by refunding me when I didn't request it? Strangest online purchase I've ever (not?) made. I sent them a ticket letting them know I will pay them the same amount, but I doubt it is possible at this point. Obviously they were unsuccessful in their bid to revoke keys so I guess either way I don't have to worry. On a side note, because I got refunded, I wonder if I will get the 20% off all until 2013 as well....and if I do, will it eventually lead to "well, "December 2013" doesn't actually MEAN "December 2013", it was just taken out of context, we meant "March"."

I still haven't received any email from them about fulfilling partial orders and/or getting a discount.

Though I'm in the same boat too. I activated 9 out of 11 keys and was forced a full refund. Also gifted it to myself and never sent them a ticket or anything either. So basically, we really did just get them totally free, correct?

Unless in the highly unlikely event they start revoking Steam keys then... yeah you basically got $30-50ish in free games.

Yup. They started issuing BL2 keys for the glitch purchases.

Just got rid of all my keys.

eyecat PM sent your way.

Gaaahhhhh I have "didn't gift myself or view keys" remorse.

I have no bad feelings toward GG. Just a part of me feels like a big opportunity was lost.

Just sent you a PM eyecat.

I'm sure that this has been said by others in this thread but if anyone has a spare pack, I would be interested in buying it - PM me!

Things currently thinking about once I get my keys...

To sell my second Bethesda Pack whole for ease or part it for minor profit?

To play Brink or Rogue Warrior first?

Whole for ease, as long as it's to me.

In my completely-non-self-serving opinion, that seems best.
