Support NeoGAF

Brute force is a universal solution.

Agreed.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Let's all take a moment of silence for the employee of GamesPlanet.com that will begin the job hunt on Monday morning, my his unemployment be swift.

In Steam news, I watched Alien and Aliens today to get a refresher before I really dig into Isolation and it's got me pretty pumped to get started.

 

[Terra_Ex]

And of course I had to be doing some programming instead of constantly refreshing the steamgaf page when the DR3 glitch happened. Dammit, would have grabbed a key and set myself in offline mode until I'd finished the game.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

No idea. I'm on Windows 8.1. I followed the instructions but it doesn't load in 1080p, even though I selected it during installation. The "Killer App Mod" text appears on the load screens but it's still in the same 1024x768 resolution as before.

The mod adds it's own exe to the Tron folder, you need to launch the game through that. Sadly those of us that have tried can't get the game to load when launched that way. I just added a 1440x1080 res and decided to settle.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

There's a lesson to be learned today.

Never leave SteamGAF.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Thanks for the free gam Kiyone~

I got you girl~

I grabbed a spare key but the site is holding it hostage. I'll see if it is still there in a bit and modbot it out. Apologies if it ends up being a dupe though.

lol I just had finished playing shadow of mordor and I refresh the page to find out about DR3 pricing error. i hope it doesn't get revoked

 

[AsylumX]

Major site malfunction over at gamesplanet? Dead Rising 3 is currently free, already activated my own copy.

Oww... I missed it.

 

[Rhaknar]

seems my key was a dupe aswell like most, so dont feel too bad for missing it, seems very few were lucky to get a working key

 

[Jawmuncher]

Funny enough all I want at the moment are the cards.
If they revoke the cards to then i'll be sad.

That's not going to happen.

You got DR3 downloaded already?

 

[Jawmuncher]

That's not going to happen.

So then regardless what happens.
I win.

You got DR3 downloaded already?

The joys of Idle Master.

 

[dot]

I missed some free Disney games from reddit and DR3 was free?! Oh well, at least i have the game already...

the things you learn

who else is secretly a girl? dot?

bwahahaha :3

 

[Jørdan]

It's the people who'll be buying dupe/revoked keys from traders I feel for.

 

[Kiru]

You got DR3 downloaded already?

If you want the cards, use Idlemaster or SAM lol.

 

[Rhaknar]

what about the people profiting from this price mistake? THOSE are the ones I feel bad about, they are the true heroes

Why would they revoke keys, it's not like you obtained them in an illegal way. They just miss-priced it. Consumer laws in most countries would prevent the company from removing this from your account.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Hey guys, what's going on?

... Fuck.

 

[electroflame]

Aw man, I guess I missed the Dead Rising 3 party.

 

[Tecl0n]

The joys of Idle Master.

I hadn't thought of that. yes.gif

 

[Lomax]

Why would they revoke keys, it's not like you obtained them in an illegal way. They just miss-priced it. Consumer laws in most countries would prevent the company from removing this from your account.

There's no consumer law in the world that requires a company to honor a legitimate mistake. While it seems unlikely they'd be revoked, it's certainly possible. All consumer law would require them to do is "refund" what you spent.

 

[Kaleinc]

Aw man, I guess I missed the Dead Rising 3 party.

If dudes stopped ddosing gp for a minute you'd have a chance.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

no, but there is one that replaces every character with Lightning.

Spoiler

or will be, mark my word

Still waiting on the Lightning Saga, a new SE developed series which replaces every mainline Final Fantasy game's main character with Lightning.

No more Terra, Vaan, Cloud, Cecil, etc. Only Lightning now.

if the site isnt legit, yes

cant wait for people to sell those keys here for "only" 20 bucks

Yeah, certain people in certain threads are like that. But hey, look on the bright side, at least it tells you who to avoid purchasing from in the future.

 

[Porcupine]

I just checked, it's not "illegal" in Germany to get a product through a price mistake but the company has the right to get the product back!

 

[Wario64]

In before, now some 20$ DR3 copies will appear on trade thread, some will buy those keys, they will revoked, the seller will marked as a scammer

I think one has already appeared in the thread

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Yeah, certain people in certain threads are like that. But hey, look on the bright side, at least it tells you who to avoid purchasing from in the future.

The latest page in the B/S/T thread, for example...

Yeah it ticks me off. But whatever, I guess I don't have to buy from 'em. Doesn't make it acceptable though.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Is the site completely gone now or is there still hope? :/

 

[Glass Rebel]

I-I didn't want Dead Rising 3 anyway, baka~

 

[Hero Prinny]

Is the site completely gone now or is there still hope? :/

im pretty sure its dead. my bro was refreshing non stop and still hasn't loaded even once. all he had to was process the order too. lmfao

 

[Vuze]

Poor gamesplanet guys

 

[Chance Hale]

Nothing more disgusting than people taking advantage of pricing errors

Spoiler

thanks amd!

Someone sell me their RoG swift please, still out of stock everywhere and it only comes in stock for 5 minutes at a time every couple of days ;-;

 

[Shadownet]

There's no hope.
There's no justice.
Only revenge.

Revengeance! *cue rock music*

 

[JaseC]

No hope, only kalkalash.

I got through 3 times. Only 1 key worked. Pretty sure those keys are all duplicates by now.

 

[madjoki]

I just checked, it's not "illegal" in Germany to get a product through a price mistake but the company has the right to get the product back!

I'm pretty sure they have right to CANCEL before delivering. Not demand you send it back.
But then again digitally they can just take it from you and there's nothing you can do.

(I'm not lawyer)

 

[KnightHart]

You're about... 10-20 minutes too late I think.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Probably. Both of the ones I got were dupes and that was immediately after it was posted in here.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

No hope, only kalkalash.

Eeeew Mountain Dew? I'll take a crab juice.

Worst thing is, that the guy is one of hours, bidding the game for Alien without informing about how he acquired it. So some guy might trade his honest bought Alien and then get a revoked game in exchange.

And yes, he did grab it through the error:

I also managed to grab one. If anyone is willing to exchange for an Alien key then pm me.

 

[Thorgal]

I seem to have an issue with the client :

 

[Jørdan]

Why would they revoke keys, it's not like you obtained them in an illegal way. They just miss-priced it. Consumer laws in most countries would prevent the company from removing this from your account.

If money was exchanged that would be different but people got the keys for free and it would be within the site's right to stop that. As for what is legal or the probable course of action they'll take I can't say but I think given the circumstances it is an option. Would the game licence be valid and therefore protected in your account if it was obtained this way? Consumer law may protect you if it was discounted, I'd wager that a pricing error making it free is different. You don't have a moral or natural right to free shit.

 

[JaseC]

I seem to have an issue with the client :

Update the skin.

 

[Grief.exe]

I seem to have an issue with the client :

Update your skin.

 

[InfiniteNine]

I seem to have an issue with the client :

Update the theme and you'll be good.

 

[KnightHart]

I seem to have an issue with the client :

Oh I had that issue when I was using Metro for Steam a few weeks ago. You should check to see if there's an update for the skin you're using.

 

[Hero Prinny]

Update the skin.

oh has steam air been updated as well? i had to go back to the default skin cause i had that issue with steam air.

one of our what? steamgaffers? youre talking like that doesnt happen all the time here lol

 

[JDHarbs]

Its okay guys. I took my B/S/T post down. I just got a bit excited because I always miss out on these things.

Spoiler

and no I hadn't traded it yet.

I hope people don't think of me as some kind of asshole. I hadn't really considered it possibly being a dupe.

Please forgive me
