not a bug? I highly doubt this is the price they demand for the game considering it isn't even on sale currently on Steam. Or do you mean I should phrase it "Price error"?

Is there a site that keeps track of all discounts. Because Cyanide´s previous game, that Styx 2, went down to around 12€-14€ very quickly aswell

Actually, you can see the complete historical fluctuation of the price for a game on ITAD. Go to the game's page on ITAD by clicking on the title anywhere or searching for it and click on "view price history" or "view sale history", whatever it is. You'll get a very nice line chart.

gg.deals don't work in my country :)
This publisher make regular sales for even brand new games, and I think that even if 75% is a "bug" for now, same discount will be in steam store in few month (and game will be in humble monthly or tier 3 of regular bundle in 2019)

Not worth to rush and buy it (only if u want to play it right now) xD

Doubt.
The publisher often put its games on sale. While an upgrade from previous titles, Its not a AAA game, and being an investigative horror makes it kind of a niche product.
Good deal though

hi guys if i unpause my monthly sub now just for the extra 10% on store, I will also get the metal gear solid monthly bundle or i can avoid that by just pausing again?

Comment has been collapsed.

Unpause automatically gets you the current month (Metal Gear etc.)
but you can use someone else's sharable link to get the discount.

Edit: Nevermind I think they removed the sharable discount link.
Edit 2: Nevermind, I just haven't purchased this month yet.

You can have my discount link if you are still in need of one :)
Just contact me on juttenberg66 [at] gmail.com or in one of my ended GAs should also work for a private conversation I think?

(Any more tips out there how to get a private conversation on sg? What do you usually do? Friends on Steam?)

thank you! you are very kind, its too late to get the game now but if you don't need the code i may use it to get darkwood or breathedge instead. you can always add me on steam. Also there is no easy way to make a private conversation on sg

ps better remove your email it's not safe to post it online

I added you on Steam. The email is exactly for cases like these so if it gets spammed I'll just delete it :)

There's no truly private contact method, but you can always use an older giveaway to contact that giveaway's creator. As long as you remember to delete your comments after you're done, chances are that noone'll stumble across the conversation before it finishes (thus effectively making it private). Beyond that, adding the user on Steam is likely the most typical course of action.

I wasn't quick enough to pull the trigger and even if I were, I am not sure I would have bought. Still some things are too good to be true. I am sure we will see it at this price again

i am on the same boat. i wasn't sure about getting the game and now knowing it was a glitch i have regrets for not getting it. I believe it will need at least 2 years to get that discount again.

Oh but they will. Humble realized they goofed. They're going to cancel your purchase, revoke the key and give you $5 for your trouble in store credit. Emails are now going out. Welcome to Humble, we goofed but that's okay, we can invalidate your key.

things have changed after the IGN treatment, dont forget the KCD promo fiasco. its becoming a trend for them.

Along with this email, you will be receiving a refund of your order, and the game key will also be revoked shortly.

Not sure where you got the impression that IGN will pay for their screwup from their own pockets if they can just revert purchases and act like nothing happened.

I didn't buy but looks like keys getting revoked:

Dear Humble Store customer,

You recently placed an order for Call of Cthulhu at a high discount from the Humble Store. We're so sorry, but this was actually a mistake due to some technical problems on our end.

Along with this email, you will be receiving a refund of your order, and the game key will also be revoked shortly. If you don't see the refund to your payment method within 72 hours, please contact our support team at https://support.humblebundle.com/.

We sincerely apologize that we weren't able to fulfill the discounted price for you. By way of apology, we have added a coupon for $5 in Store credit to your Humble Bundle account. It will be automatically applied to your next purchase when you check out.

Thank you for being the awesome customer that you are, and remember: Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

IGN already initiated a refund, although it will take a week until the money actually is refunded. Key is still there at this moment...

They are sending the money with some courier company? You would get a physical game from Amazon much faster.

I didn't purchase the game because I knew they would revoke the keys. Oh well, it was Humble Bundle credit and not "real" money, so I'll live with it

Oh well.
I expected that, so I made sure to at least idle the cards ASAP. Humble is really revoke-happy.

Not like my good bois at Amazon

In any case, I'll take ~$5.30 for free, instead of a game I'd like to play for an acceptable price a year earlier.

While it's true that Amazon isn't known for revoking & refunding for errors it hasn't really been a good place for game deals since Tony left. All they really do is price match nowadays and don't really put together their own promotions like in the old days.
