They won't give it lol. And even if they did that's kind of a waste of your one refund.

I'm thinking it would be a nice gesture to upgrade everyone who bought it on the Steam store to the Deluxe Edition.

I bought the deluxe edition, and even if it's a waste of the one time refund I don't think I'll ever ask for something similar again. We'll see how it ends :P

Worst case scenario I just learned a cool lesson, never buy indie games from steam ever again :P

Yea well, you can't predict these things. Sometimes you just get unlucky. Other times you don't.

Yeah I personally don't really care about not getting the money back. The problem lies on my current situation. In my country it is impossible to put money on paypal unless you have a credit card + tons of other complex crap so the only way I can get some paypal is via commissions (I coded a fighting game for the money I got a month ago) and if I'm unlucky with commissions then I'll be unable to get more paypal.

That's why every dollar counts. I would actually buy this bundle and just gift NS2 to a friend but the problem is that all of them own the game because I told them to buy it yesterday and now we're all midly pissed off at this.

I expect EA and Activision to fuck us over like this but when even indie companies start to do this shit... welp, we're fucked :P

You can buy steam money on stores. Even digital retailers. You can use the credit card directly on steam.........

I don' have a credit card and there are no steam gift cards in my country. Furthermore valve refuses to give any support to any country of south america except Brazil where you are actually able to buy steam wallet with "real" money.

I really never understand this mentality. When you bought it, you obviously felt it was worth the price. It being "cheaper" now shouldn't change that.

Normally I would agree, but since NS2 was on sale just yesterday I'd say it's a little different. Knowing that you could have gotten a better deal if you waited a single day kinda bites.

I get your point, but demanding a refund is a bit extreme, IMO. You win some, you lose some - that's life.

Comment has been collapsed.

It was more of a principle than the price itself and I already cancelled the ticket. The devs meant no harm so it's hard to get mad at them now that we know the true story behind the timing of both things (Scroll up and read my other post, you'll see a pic of a dev's reply about this).

I also got another commission to cover the paypal loss anything so I'll just let it pass :P

+1. If it isn't a major AAA game, then I'm probably just going to wait unless I really want it. And even if it is a AAA game, if it is old I am now cautious about buying it. It's not like I will get a chance to play all of these games anyways with TF2 taking away so much of my time.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I didn't get any of the keys, but I always appreciate seeing people doing key drops.

Doesn't the new humble system allow you to see who redeemed it? I'm not sure of all the nuances to the new system.

Seeing that torchlight 1 has been bundled before, it would be a good idea.

Nope it needs to have ended and be marked as received a day before the bundle started to count for CV as non-bundle.

But is it counted since the exact second the bundle pop-up? Or the entire day gets screwed?

I think its usually based on when we first find out a bundle is coming out, which is sometimes before the bundle actually starts

NS2 is pretty good. Well, if your computer can handle it. Mine struggles. So I was generally stuck with hanging back, putting up stuff/welding (though welding could sometimes proof to be a bit hard as well) and being gorge. Because too much action on my screen = blew the feeble mind of my computer ;)

That's what i get for not trading my old gift of preorder NS2... Now it's worthless. Guess i should care a lot more about that sometimes i had this copy since the release of the game.

I didn't bought it. I guessed the game was going to be F2P, turns out it got bundled.
Anyway, Ni no Kuni is having a sale on PSN right now. I left my PS3 back at my house thousands of miles away. I hate myself.

I just played 2 rounds, games so damn refreshing and fun, I played the older one back in the day, this ones better and more polished, grab the bundle and give it a try if you have any interest in Aliens, FPS games, or RTS games.

Not even a tiny bit mad now that I bought it before the bundle.

I gaveaway Natural Selection 2, and it ended and was marked as received before the humble bundle started. My gift value was updated and everything. Now after the Humble bundle started, it has reverted back to the old value. I sent a support ticket. This better get fixed.

Too many bundles get leaked ahead of time, which means people can set up giveaways prior to the bundle launch and set them for four weeks (believe me, it's happened in the past with people thinking they can cheat the system). That is why the system goes by end date and not start date. In reality, it should really go by end date + 7 to account for the week a person has to give a game away, so be happy it's not that.

I lean heavily towards ending the CV system. It encourages far more negative behavior and whining than positive contributions to the community.

The SG system goes by day, not time. Your giveaway unfortunately ended today, even if the bundle theoretically hadn't gone live until a few hours later. Good luck with support, but I doubt they're going to do anything.

It says prior to the bundle, not before the day the bundle starts.

That's incorrect then and should be edited - it should read "ended" not "created" for the reason I posted above.

I talked to the admin about this. Because of the timing of the sale and subsequent bundle, we adjusted the bundle list to the start time of the Humble Bundle instead of the beginning of the day like normal. So any giveaways created before the bundle launched will get full value.
