Email the customer service of where you got it from. YMMV depending on them. Newegg and Amazon have good history with this sort of thing from previous experience / threads about promos.

Chances are they want to keep the type of customer that buys 1080s happy.
 
Starting today? Son of a bitch! I literally just bought a 1070 yesterday!

I guess I'm more pissed that I got some dumb F2P garbage for free instead of an actual game. I don't really care about Gears.

Most places would probably give you a key if you contact them.

which I'll buy from you :D
 
Just recently got a laptop with the 1070, got that Paragon bundle card and I don't even know what to do with it... Lame.

Not really, no. Were you told that there wouldn't be any game deals in the future? Did you expect to get given a free game when you purchased when you did? Having that attitude is like getting annoyed when a product is reduced in price after being out for a while.

Basically means it'll cost ~£30 on PC now.

Oh shit been wanting to upgrade my graphics card for some odd reason. I don't really play games, but if this counts as the whole "play anywhere" thing I was planning on buying it on the Xbox. Interesting.
 
Well people wanted to see MS show that they are serious with PC Gaming...that's one way to do it. I see that this tactic is to get more people using the Windows Store and Xbox app. A strategic move by MS. Gears is basically MS' flagship UWP game. Things will be interesting with this launch.

It's a flagship Xbox/Microsoft game. The problem? PC gamers only know Gears of War 1 and have no idea about the story of 2,3 and Judgement. At least that's my problem. I played GoW but never owned an Xbox. So GoW 4 is kind of useless for me (even without the fact that it's UWP only)

they did hook us up w/ The Witcher 3 after the fact when we bought Maxwell Titans.. they might do it again.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. Through GeForce Experience.

Newegg CS also hooked me up with Arkham Knight and MGS V keys for Maxwell Titan X, but since Pascal is only available through Nvidia directly, I can't go that route.

Gears 4 is essentially a reboot though. Not necessary to have played the other games from a story perspective really.

1 sentence could detail the plot of Gears 1 - 3.
 
Bought a 1080 last month in France. I'm fucked right?

Sent a ticket to customer service for ruedecommerce, it's a damn longshot but got nothing to lose.

Stupid paragon promo, I didn't even redeem that shit, went straight to the garbage.

Of course. But where is the fun in that. What I mean is, that the franchise is not big on PC and a 4 in the title is never good to for people to jump in. Even though it worked out for Witcher 3 on PS4.
 
The graphical and audio options on the Win10 version of this game are a love-letter to PC gamers. It's clear MS sees this as their first big Play Anywhere, designed-from-the-ground-up to be cross-platform, game. Good on 'em for seeking out an avenue for promotion for it.
 
Ohwwwww :( I've had my 1070 for a while now so I can't feel too bad. Certainly got lots of use out of it.

Would BST thread be my best option for a reasonably priced key? Not sure the supply and demand balance would be so favourable, mind.
 
So which cards is everyone getting? I know to stay away from founder's editions, but that is all I know about these cards lol.
 
Just called Newegg. They gave me the code with relative ease. I bought my 1080 FTW just yesterday. Anyone that has purchased from them should try to give them a call and see what they say.
 
Since they are not including the gtx 1060 can I assume they are trying to promote just their highend, 1440p-4k capable cards for gears 4?

Because if so that some shitty shit.

My room mate was a early gtx 1070 adopter and didn't get anything.

Just got off the phone with them. They'll give you one most likely since you are still within the return window. Its advantageous to just give it to you and avoid the hassle on both ends that comes with returns.

This makes sense. Was just shot down on newegg chat. Bought 2 cards in early August.

What did you say exactly? Threaten a return or just ask nicely?
 
Well, I got a $10 Amazon credit for just asking about it. They'll get back to me in 1-2 days about the code.
 
For those that claim to have "missed it" by buying your card earlier - if you happen to have an Asus card, just ask them. I've had success with them several times over the past years, and recently getting Doom despite being almost a month early than the promo limit
