Official Response about Warlock II on GamersGate: Keys will be revoked

Open
Azrael360

Please, and just in case, DO NOT CREATE MORE GIVEAWAYS for Warlock II with Keys obtained from the GamersGate "deal", because they're going to be revoked:

" Official response

Unfortunately, after the forced update of the web-site due to the bot attack that happened all over the web, we had a small glitch regarding the pricing for the game on our co.uk website and this game in particular was wrongly priced for 0.00. We have fixed the bug promptly and had to revoke the keys due to the obvious wrong pricing on it. Unfortunately, this will result in the keys being deactivated. We apologize for the inconvenience this has brought anyone. "

UPDATE: And indeed the game has been revoked on Steam: http://www.imagebam.com/image/291a5b362743432

Maybe they are talking about this kind of attack.

It's an unix vulnerability and there were/are many bots on the web which are scanning the websites for the existence of the bug and try to install nasty things to the webserver.

GamersGate has honored every price glitch that hasn't been free and there's been a lot.
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to take back what you paid for AND recieved. (It would be OK to cancel before 'delivery' if it's price mistake)

Now I just wonder how Steam will look at people who got their game revoked but have their cards.

Expect appearing on GabeN's grey-list - not really your fault, but you did cheat GabeN for few cents, so...

Cheat them? How so? Valve made $.02 on every card sale.

Maybe not Valve, true, but it's great scenario to cheat shopkeepers/game-publishers in general.

1) Buy ALL THE GAMES from some shop
2) Idle cards
3) Tell bank someone stole your creditcard
4) Get money back
5) Get games revoked, keep cards

But you didn't. The cards don't cost Valve anything to produce. But they do earn Valve money when you trade them through the market.

Hm, the game itself still isn't back in GG's shop. I wonder if they're still not done completely with the fixing. With all the time they spent cleaning this mess up they still must have made considerable losses.
