Something tells me, neither EA nor Ubisoft would be generous to leave such an error around before release, lol. :p

Instructions for participants:
I am giving away 3 Steam keys. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the entire line from the message below that corresponds to the game you want. (if you include more than one game, you will be blocked from entering). Confused? Watch this GIF tutorial or ask for help.

ModBot Basics:
- I really appreciate thank you messages, but please send them to me (D3RANG3D, not ModBot!) via PM instead of in thread.
- Do not trade keys you win off-site to enrich yourself. Don't try to claim games you have no interest in collecting or playing. Don't claim games to give them to friends off-site.
- If the key is already taken you will not receive a reply. Replies may take a minute or two.

i think no comments from ubi at this point means it wasn't a mistake rite?
Click to expand...

It's beginning to look that way, yeah.

Then again, Ubi is always slow about responding to controversies.

zkylon said:
hope not, as it not being a mistake would be silly

but then again ubi is a silly company run by silly people that like making silly things like having aisha tyler curse a lot while she's all like this is ubi bitches deal with it

so you know it's not beneath them for sure

ubi support (and pr) says lots of things ... like that it was Volvo's fault those games weren't available in the UK ;) etc. etc. etc.

Bleh, considering the whole thing with the Bethesda bundle and how that had to cost them a small fortune, I had figured they'd let us keep it. I had been pretty excited to get it too, but I've had enough fun with Endless Legend this week that Warlock 2 is now definitely going into the "will get in a bundle someday" pile.

Of course, it's absolutely ridiculous that it took them this long to revoke it. It should have either been done straight away for not at all, and they should have informed us that it was going to happen. But then again, Gamersgate has never exactly been any sort of model of professionalism.
Click to expand...

Although I half-expected that the key would be revoked, they did a pretty piss-poor job. Technically, they did inform their userbase... in a help topic that was answered by someone who had no speaking authority for the company, and was quickly closed after the question was "answered".

I've said it before, but if Gamersgate wants to keep mistakes like this from happening, they need to start by fixing their site. I've already had payment problems, a discount code being eaten, and now a code gets revoked because they didn't want to admit that someone dropped the ball. I don't believe for a second that a bot attack caused a price mistake on one specific game right at the time they happened to be rolling over to their next sale.

Yeah, but I still don't think this is Ubi pulling an EA. Where's the sense in updating your client for more seamless Steam integration if you're not going to sell your games on the platform going forward?

what would be really funny, though, is if it was a legitimate mistake ... but they decided to roll with it anyway ;)

Just wait for it to come to a bundle. Or the next inevitable price error (this is either the second or third error I've seen for the game)..
Click to expand...

Yeah, I'm not fussed. I bought the DDE when it was mistakenly 75% off on GMG soon after release so all I lost was the World Pack DLC.

you said: "too late Ubi, Valkyria" implying its too late for Ubi to correct its mistake, assuming it is a mistake, because you bought Valkyria Chronicles

but you werent going to buy any of those games in the first place. I know you said it in jest, but so did I, hence the smiley

Yeah I'm heavily tempted to get either ACU or FC4 from Indian Origin, can someone PM me some instructions as to how I can purchase it from there? I mainly just need to know what's a free India VPN service.

GamersGate accidentally gave out the game for free a couple of weeks ago and apparently didn't want to foot the bill, leading Paradox to request that the keys be disabled.
Click to expand...

Just got that message when I booted up today. It's lame that they don't honor pricing mistakes but from a business point of view there's no reason to foot the bill unless you are concerned about your customers (something many companies take for granted).

I take back what I said about the combat in Alan Wake. Episode three is pissing me off with the amount of times I'm dying just because of sheer enemy overwhelm.
