I received a key from Newegg. They agreed to give me one, though I bought 2 cards but that is more than reasonable. I happy with their customer support lately.
Well I got Batman AK from them when my cards only came with W3 hah so they can't be that bad.
I had Resi Revelations 2 refunded because of the missing splitscreen mode shortly after it came out, and it's still in my library. Publishers just don't care enough to have Steam remove it in some cases I think.

Does it say purchase where the play button used to be?

Newegg sent me a separate email as a "Digital Product Delivery" with the key to enter on Nvidia's site, which then gives you a Steam code. I assume they probably have a record of who got what Nvidia code, which could then be used to determine which Steam key to be deactivated.
Plot twist: It's another feature of Batman Arkham Knight.

Really surprised by how playable this is, apart from texture pop-in (I could be very lucky).
My rig is pretty moderate (i5 4590, GTX 750 Ti 2GB OC, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 7200rpm HDD) and I can get 1080/30 (w/ occasional stutter + pop in) with everything on normal (lol). Kind of weird though, at 1080p I feel like black looks wrong (it looks like grey) - dropping the resolution makes blacks look black again. :/
I already played through it on PS4 so I figured I'd mess around with it on PC as I could get it cheap. Hopefully it can only get better from here with patches.

Sounds like your PC is changing the refresh rate to something that's not meshing with your display and washing out the picture. Usually caused by a mismatch between RGB Full and Limited. Check that it isn't going to 1080p @ 30Hz or something weird. There's probably an info screen in your monitor/TV's menu that will show what signal it's getting.

Just tell them that the game is so broken that it got pulled from sales and you'll get the code.

Yeah, so now a 970 with three major releases isn't bad, even if one was a unoptimized, borderline unplayable for many without the right hardware mess. There was no replacing Arkham Knight discussion with the NewEgg CS I chatted with since I got my code and redeemed it before my card even arrived back in early May.
Same here but I probably would've held off for Pascal since I had and still have a ton of games that ran just fine on my 460s.

Ordered my card on May 6, spoke with a representative, told them I wouldn't have bought the card had I known one of those games it came with was faulty and they added the order for MGSV.

Very nice! Newegg the best.

Did someone got better (or a more consistent gameplay experience) by following this Steam guide?

Seems to be from someone who knows what he's talking about, there's even a GUI for setting up the game config.

Ordered my gtx 970 the last week of July and it came with Arkham Knight..I already redeemed the code but I never played the game yet. You think if I tell newegg the game is broken they'll let me get MGSV?

His .ini file tweaks helped considerably for me when I first started using it (before he created the utlity), but after I used the utility, it seems to work, but not quite as much.
You probably don't even need to do that much if you ordered just a bit ago. A lot of companies will just extend it to you because of when you bought it, regardless of a sob story, especially if you're a frequent customer.

Thank you for this. Going to give it a try.

If you got a Batman AK key with your GPU, why all the hassle with exchanging it for another code? The game will get fixed eventually, and if you were interested in it in the first place, what's changed now? Why not just wait?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

You're not really exchanging it. You get to keep Batman AK and for the hassle of trying, you may also get MGSV.

So people are just trying to get a free game?
I'm not normally one to take a business' side over the consumer, but this seems somewhat unreasonable. I mean, WB should be held accountable for their fuckup. But the stores selling the game presumably did this in good faith, and it's probably going to cost them a lot if everyone demands a game in addition to the one they paid for (AK). The petitions and demands should be directed towards WB IMO, not the stores selling the games.

If a company like NewEgg is willing to do this for their customers, and the customers are happy, and therefore the customers have a positive view of said company, why does it matter? I'm pretty sure the multi-billion dollar corporation isn't going to suffer because of this.
How are you guys doing it?

The status of your AK code should be irrelevant, you don't have to exchange it or anything.
No one is demanding, they're asking, these promotion codes cost NewEgg and other retailers next to nothing because it's a deal primarily brokered between NVIDIA and the publisher. People chat with CS and ask, that's it. They did the same with Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight, it's good customer relations. The fact that Arkham Knight turned out the way it did on PC is just an additional talking point. I wouldn't be surprised if NVIDIA gave stores more codes because of the Arkham Knight mess to appease customers who contact their retailer.
