Square Enix: Christmas surprise offer!

The good old business model of selling you something but not telling you what it is until after you have bought it.

I am glad I am not in EU cause I would probably do this.

Sorry for necrobumping, but I have a problem with this one.

I registered on the Squeenix site, got through the regular web store process through PayPal and THEN debit card... then something most outrageous happened. The bank denied PayPal the money, but the SE site is absolutely unaware of this, it thinks everything went through (PayPal account confirms that transaction failed, didn't affect "PayPal wallet" though).

Taking advantage of this error would be just unfair actually, so I emailed the SE support, and I received what I guess is a bot answer telling me to wait for more info. But the clock is ticking. I would just make another order, but I don't want to pay for two if they get to deal with the current one later. On the other hand, if I activate the current key, and SE misses my email, and they detect the hole, Valve has zero tolerance policy against payment scam...

What am I supposed to do now?

You got the good kind of Digital River failure. Enjoy, they deserve it!
 
So, yeah. Turns out I should have made another order. The weird one has ended up with a "canceled" annotation (no idea whether my email had something to do with it or not). Yesterday it was just a "preorder", mind you.

Better than a lawsuit, but I still think it could have been handled better. Like, by emailing me that this is what they're gonna do.

Anyone wishing to tell me what I missed?
 
Haven't gotten anything in my mailbox yet, but according to this post on Steamgifts.com, a PR statement was sent out which includes the list of games inside the surprise bundle:


• Thief - The Master Thief Edition
• The Last Remnant
• Murdered: Soul Suspect
• Lara Croft: Guardian of Light
• Deus Ex – The Fall
• Nosgoth Founders - Warlord Pack

Discount vouchers:
· 50% off FINAL FANTASY XIII-2
· 50% off FANTASY III
· 33% off the brand new Lara Croft and The Temple of Osiris with Season Pass

I didn't own any of these games yet so I'm really happy with this :D.
 
I have all the ones I want so it was definitely a good call not to get it.

Disgusting. The product is broken (at least the Steam version). It may completely at random erase all the event flags associated with a save. This leaves you unable to change jobs, without your airship effectively breaking progress with the game.

It means every time you save you have to check you are still able to change jobs. It is very annoying to lose a gameplay session to this bug especially with how stingy FFIII is with save points.

It might "only affect a minority" but I saw both players in the FF Month Twitch race suffer from the bug multiple times (until they decided to skip the game completely).

The Last Remnant is pretty great but a lot of people overlooked it, good get for anyone who picked up this bundle.

Well was hoping on Murdered, so thats cool. Thief is pretty cool too I guess.
