Right I edited my post, it's the same between credit and cashback. I always used credits since I know I'll be buying steam/origin games on the site in the future but fuck that, not worth it for 2-3$.

Credit's also taken a hit. The promotion has been reduced significantly from $15 credit/$10 cash back (when purchasing a $60 game) to $3 and $2 respectively. The current site-wide discount code is also a relatively lowly 20% rather than the typical 25%.
It'll be interesting to see how this move to increase profit margins will impact GMG's business. I mean, by and large, the only reason people shopped at GMG is because of the 25%+ discount codes or generous cash back/credit options. (Granted, 20% codes will still be of some use assuming they stack with existing discounts.)

Everyone is getting their keys and i didnt even got my refund.
Who can?

I don't generally blame the victim, but they really should have been monitoring their website SOMEHOW even though it was the holidays.
I genuinely wasn't sure it was a mistake because of how long it lasted.
You forgot to sign your name.

Just a heads up that I will pay premium's for your keys. I actually play my games.
Steam redeemable.

I mentioned that during the chaos and that was how I justified going for it at the time but in my heart I knew it was a mistake.

So then I get nothing. I have no idea if the original purchaser of the keys redeemed any, but I still cant access the key for the copy in my library.
Keep getting this.
Keep getting this.
$2-5 IIRC

It was discounted 4 times lol.
Damn best deal ever... If anyone has any extras I am willing to trade for it!
Note to anyone who couldn't get a key and got a refund - The 20% discount is already live, it will be added automatically when you add an item to your cart.
If anyone with the discount is buying anything, please let us know if the discount works after you purchased one item with it.

Stop right there. People who play their games aren't allowed here, we don't want weird guys roaming around. It's buy-and-forget or bust!Hahah

That said, I still haven't decided if I want to continue playing The Witcher (still at chapter 2) or start Alpha Protocol or Binary Domain.

I think they will deliver those keys in the coming days... maybe next week?
The same message keeps poping up too for me!

Okay I guess today I'm right.
Even if the sales were dead before they were even started this winter.

I have no keys from the Borderlands 2 4-pack but they still haven't reversed my order and refunded me... this is starting to get very frustrating

It's just cosmetic stuff, so blah. I guess if you want to give one of your dudes a sweet flat top maybe.
Perhaps you shouldn't exploit pricing mistakes in the future?

Nah. I just don't know what people expected from hammering a barely alive site with purchases.
To take advantage of the error and score some cheap game keys, like most that managed to get at least one key did?

I seem to be getting the 20% discount and all the keys on my gamersgate shelf. Must be because I tried a second purchase which failed. Is the discount once off?
Nobody in this thread has taken the plunge just yet.

20% GG coupon seems to be multiple-use.
I just did a quick once-over on their site and I didn't see any good deals in the first place.

Buy blue coins with the 20% off coupon, then buy the games you want with blue coins and add on the 20% coupon again?
There's no new deal, but there still some pretty good deals like DMC4, Sine More and Red Faction Guerilla (no longer available on Steam).
Plus the 20% can be used on pre-orders (note: this won't work on all regions).
Edit: I assume that Lone_Prodigy meant GMG, as I don't see any 20% coupon on GG.
Edit 2: I see users got 20% discount due to the holiday bundle issue, so disregard this post.

It states that the discount isn't valid on blue coins.
I think the 20% off is valid for all purchases until 31 -12- 13. So basically a year long discount for your account.

You and me both, man.
I'm totally in for a nice session of cyberpunk co-op goodness once that happens. With any luck that'll happen before I go on vacation in 2 weeks.
