[Bug] GMG referral breaks links

Closed
Avantyr

It's been happening with these links:
https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/castlevania-triple-pack-pc/
https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/metal-gear-triple-pack-pc/

The referral link service doesn't really work correctly and keeps people from getting to the intended page, and when it's bundles that aren't listed on the main page, it makes them way harder to find.
If you can't fix it, maybe you should disable it for GMG until then.

Yeah, I was first alerted to the Castlevania thing on here and I thought it had ended until I saw the link again on CheapAssGamer.

I believe the fault lies on GMG since I am not able to view the page due to region constraints. Previously when they are offering the 50 Games pack i was able to view it initially but after realizing their keys are region bound, subsequently I was blocked. Even though they kept sending newsletter about it to me.

It's not because I can paste the link by hand and get to the intended page.

Nope.
These things are not for support members to fix, they go here in the aptly-named Bugs/suggestions section.

No worries. As far as I know only CG handles development, and these things are low priority.

you can send a ticket in "other" category and support will forward it to cg.

I'm not sure how much the devs or mods care anymore, frankly. I also have a ticket that hasnt been looked into for more than a month now. I reckon they won't fix it, if it's not broken enough. "Eh, they can copy/paste, whatever"...

Bundle postmaster sensualshakti confirmed this issue happens with ALL GMG links, especially bundles.

Do you want to lose referrals? Because this is how you lose referrals.

Thanks, this has been resolved, and GMG referral links should no longer redirect to their homepage.
