Got up to 483 copies before Amazon unlisted it. Let's hope they do the right thing and honor the sales.

You must mean all of us combined. Unless you're really gonna shell out $7000 up front.

I thought it was because I used the address of the first Burger King that came up on google. LA isn't good enough for hitman it seems.

Thread was worth it for this post.

 

[JaseC]

WTF are you serious?

It's easy to "spend" $7k when that $7k order is still weeks away from being processed.

you more likely ruined it for everyone

 

[pineapplepizza]

why is it being assumed that this is a mistake? Perhaps SE is putting less value on their pc version? It does say 75% off...

Well since they took it down we can safely guess it was a mistake.

Well, truth to be told, even if he was paying that price, he would easily be able to make double the amount, granted it's honored.

 

[Brizzo24]

Ordered 25 copies.

Which cdkey website do you own? You ruined it for 482 other people!

 

[Bankastuba]

Knowing this is being sold under the intended price, is ethically right to buy it? I ask because it seems wrong to me (if indeed a wrong price), but maybe I'm wrong?

 

[Innolis]

Missed it...balls

 

[LyleLanley]

I don't own a website, I intend to use them all for myself. Also, I'm joking.

 

[dreamfall]

Picked it up! Hope they honor this!

 

[derExperte]

Besides the joking there are actual limits. Three in this case, they canceled my fourth order.

I mean, that depends on your ethics. I don't think there's anything wrong with taking advantage of a pricing mistake, depending on what happens with it. If you buy 400 copies with the intent to resell, it's pretty scummy, but if you're buying a copy for yourself or something, whatever.

It's all up to amazon if they want to honor the pricing mistake anyway. If they don't and they cancel your order, no harm no foul. If they do and lose a little money in the process, it's not like they're going to go out of business over it, and they earn a little consumer goodwill in the process.

 

[brau]

How can you pick it up? here it says its unavailable.

Seems Amazon have noticed the pricing error and pulled the game till they fix it. The dream is dead

 

[Lingitiz]

They apparently limited to three per account.

That's about 7245$
Hope you have the money to buy them all. /s

On slickdeals comments like your previous one are the norm lol

Thank you, I wish you lots of wealth and prosperity as well.

You're not wrong, its for sure unethical. People are just willing to let that go for a deal sometimes (myself included).

Monoraail! Monoraail! Monoraaaail!

Unethical yes, but it saves me money.

Haha, classy.

Amazon will be fine.

I dunno, create a separate bread and lettuce discuss philosophy

A store has a thing marked for a certain price. You pay the market price,

Yes, it is ethically right.

 

[shandy706]

This made it to Slickdeals. They probably killed it, lol.

I'll have a couple extra if they're honored. May just hook a couple gaffers up next month.

I chose to buy something at the advertised price set by the retailer. All I did was click pre-order now.

I buy stuff on sale all the time. Where do ethics come in to play?

 

[killroy87]

God damn it! I missed it. Oh well, haha. If anyone has an extra key and will sell for $20, let me know.

Well sales are intended to be at a lower price, whereas apparently this one isn't.
Not talking about the random guy who got lucky and purchased it thinking it's just on sale, but knowing someone messed up and put a lower price by mistake... Feels to me like, "legally stealing".

Karma and etc...

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I managed to get one. Though I've been pretty interested in this one after hearing more about it, due to time I likely wasn't going to buy it at all. Not anytime soon at least and most definitely not at full price. At $14 though, I might as well pick it up and see if I can fit it in.

I'm sure if Amazon doesn't cancel it they'll find it in their heart to forgive me.

How do you know it's not Bezos who has the bad karma and we are just pawns in a larger game?

 

[chiv]

...don't stress, game will probably be $5 a month after release, if its not flat out bundled... that is the square marketing strategy after all

 

[Bankastuba]

I don't, but Bezos will answer for his choices...us, for ours.

Anyway happy to see people got a good deal, don't want to be the party pooper, just doing a sanity check on self

 

[texhnolyze]

Damn, missed it.

 

[Drilbit777]

Damn hoarders... Why can't you guys just let some of us get an actual copy instead of just selling it off...

 

[diablos991]

My order updated to "pending verification". Looks like these might get cancelled.

Not sure if you know how digital distribution works. There isn't really a finite number of codes.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Mine doesn't say pending verification. I think mine is just fine?

There are a finite number of codes that Amazon bought though.

Have you checked the iOS app? I see pending verification in the app but online everything appears to be fine.

It says pending verification on my Android app. I was using the site which doesn't say pending verification at all.
