Well not like it is on purpose, but it is surprising they don't seem too concerned on fixing this glitch considering how much money I am sure they lost on the Bethesda pack. Definitely not complaining though after losing my "lifetime" 15% discount (yes I know that was somewhat IGN's fault but you think GG would have checked out that IGN was advertising it as lifetime for months and get it corrected right away)

smh...lol I just bought both Viking and Alan Wake AN last night at the higher price...lol I've learned my lesson.

It's dead now. I just got a single copy of each for myself under the wire. Changed before I could add second copies.

Those crazy Swedes must be hitting the booze pretty hard at the company Christmas parties every night before hitting the big SALE buttons.

They're awake and messing with stuff because the Command and Conquer pack is 0% off.

Still kicking myself over missing Fallen Enchantress for like $6-7.

I seem to have a stuck order for Viking. It's pending and doesn't seem to let me pay with Blue Coins....

I apologize for bringing up old news, but I purchased the Bethesda pack, I have the Paypal confirmation, but the funds haven't been withdrawn from my bank account yet. I've redeemed 2 codes (Skyrim and Dishonoured) so I doubt they'll cancel my order. Is there usually this much delay between Paypal and the bank? I've purchased games from GG before and don't remember this long a delay.Or should I chalk this up to horrible pricing mistake/GG still cleaning up mess? Any help is appreciated.

For me, PayPal purchases can take anywhere from 1-5 days to show up. Depends on what day it is and if it's the weekend or it's a holiday. Seeing as it's both, I'd say you can expect it to show up anywhere between now and the 26th.

Dammit, I missed the Viking sale. That literally happened right after I went to bed.

Same but I already had it from an Amazon pack earlier. (Maybe I should complain to someone? A cheaper price for something I bought recently? Outrage! Outrage I tell you )

Anyhoo, I'm kind afraid to go to bed now. I think I should just sit at the computer all night with toothpicks holding my eyelids open F5ing at GG looking for price mistakes.

You're probably ok because of the serial codes.

There could be several explanations. First, your bank could be holding off processing transactions until after the holidays. Second, there could be a delay on paypal's side with the bank, although GG was paid.

But, I'd probably check with paypal just to make sure. Here is their contact info:

1-888-221-1161 1-402-935-2050 (if calling from outside the U.S.) 4:00 AM to 10:00 PM Pacific Time Monday through Friday 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM Pacific Time Saturday and Sunday

I have one more question, thanks to all of you who have answered me!

I've never bought anything on GG, so I don't know where the keys are and stuff, i bought the Bethesda Collection, but nothing appears on the right column in My Library under details or game besides the notice GG gave about the keys. Is it okay? Shouldn't there be something like "No keys" or "Keys soon" IDK.. thank you!

FYI to those who got Alan Wake: AN and are looking for Alan Wake. GMG is offering Alan Wake Collector's edition on Dec 26 for 75% off with prob 30% off that, or $6.11 if my math is right. Hopefully, they will have Alan Wake vanilla also for 75% off.

No in this case when you click the box to "show serial key" it will just give you the popup box message about needing to get more keys from the developer etc.

That's normal in this case but keep in mind this is sort of a one off situation and normally you would click that box and just get your keys.

They ran out of Viking keys too.

BTW Gamersgate ain't no joke now about locking your ass out for a day once you do two purchases in a row.

I tried to get 4 $5 things to get one free. So then I went to do the IAMANELDERGEEK to get the discounts on the coins. Well I needed 14000 blue coins but if you put a 10000 pack and then multiple 1000 packs in there then you will only get the discount on one of the cheapest items so I went to do them all as single purchases.

Yes I am that god damned cheap to save a nickel and yes I could have gotten a 10000 pack and a 5000 pack but I didn't need 15000 I needed 14000 so I was trying to pay the minimum.

I already used up my two Moneybooker allotted transactions for the day as well as my two paypal ones. I'll either have to run to the Safeway and throw a dollar in the damned coinstar to get a code to redeem or wait a day I guess.

Anyway, TL;DR be careful with the multiple purchases.

Yeah that's happened to me before too. I just learned to get as close to the amount I need . It's not worth potentially missing out on a deal because I didn't want to buy 1 or 2 dollars worth of blue coins

thank you motoki, so I should not be worried right, as this is 1 time situation? or just painfully wait until the fog clears in January (?) ?

Yep it should be fine. I don't think any of us can say for 100% certain until the keys come and I'm waiting on a bunch too just like a bunch of other people, but considering they haven't cancelled the orders on anyone I think we're all in the clear and just have to wait it out.
