My coffee warned me about it.


I bought the 2012 Paradox Pack...and I'm not even that big on strategy games, the value per $ was too overwhelming :shepicide:

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
I found that clicking "PC Downloads" in the top left would show the "Show Product Key" button, but now it's not working again. And Tony, you guys really need to add a "Show all Product Keys" button because it's really annoying to keep refreshing the page.

If you try to click as many of the show product key buttons as possible before the load, it will usually actually register that, making it easier.

My problem is that after a half an hour of refreshing, I haven't gotten those keys to show properly.

And how do we do that? We hurt a lot of people...

Those Paradox bundles are great Tony!

I have a question you may not be able/want to answer but I'll try anyways. Why does the physical copy of Simcity get a 20$ credit while the digital copy only gets 5$ credit? Is that coming from EA or from Amazon itself? If it's coming from Amazon itself, why is a physical sale worth so much more to them?

Yeah, there seems to be a server sided issue at the moment. I assume that this probably won't get solved until the morning.

They just showed up for me once then disappeared again.

edit; Logging out and back in again seems to fix it at least temporarily. And whoever said that clicking as many as you could before the page reloaded, thanks! It works!

So I was going to get the 2012 pack but now it's Currently Unavailable. Is that going to be back up at some point or should I cut my losses and just get the CK Pack?

Hey guys,

For those of you having problems viewing keys, it is just a function of the system getting hammered a bit (lay off the sauce system!), it should resolve itself within an hour or so. Also, and I'll put this in the OP. We are definitely going to run out of keys for the Paradox pack today (1/31) pretty quickly. I just spoke with my Paradox contact (he's in Iceland, I guess it is later in the day there ), they are going to try and get us keys by Friday at the latest and have agreed to keep the promotion up until the end of the day on Saturday. The Editor's Choice coupon will be extended FOR THIS PRODUCT ONLY until the end of the day on Saturday, assuming we get the keys.

So, hopefully we'll get more keys between now and the end of the day on Friday.

Cheers,
Tony

It's a bit of a gamble then I guess.

I suppose I could buy a CK pack just in case, and try and trade it off if I do then get the chance to buy the 2012 pack?

Sure you can't extend both, Tony?

Is it possible to just open the pack up for sale, and then we'll all wait patiently until you have more keys? I'd rather get the 2012 pack for $15 but no keys for a week than not get this pack at this price.

I don't think they'll do this, because not everybody will wait patiently.

Meanwhile, many hours later, the keys that I DID receive still will not show. On any games in the account, even the ones bought long ago. I guess that server issue that was supposed to be resolved "within the hour" about four hours ago didn't actually get resolved.

edit: Aaaaand, my "one last refresh" before heading to sleep got me the codes. Okay, nevermind then!

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delayed response here. Regarding an update for those still having problems viewing their product keys, please contact CS and describe your issue. Make sure to use the words “My keys are not visible in my Games and Software Library” this will ensure you get routed to the correct person who can then get you your keys.

For those curious about the long term solution, we hope to have something more robust in place within the next 6 weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience (and for buying so many games that we need to adjust our systems!).

That 2012 pack is something. I had to click 'show more' 3 times, all for $10?
I don't think I've even see War of the Roses (standard) alone at that price.

Sorry if this has been answered and I missed it, but is there a way to "earn" another $5 coupon? I used mine a few weeks ago on Hotline Miami. Are they still doing the thing where I can purchase an "editors choice" game or something and get a $5 coupon that I can use for the microsoft indie bundle?

Doesn't look like it. Seems it requires a US billing address, which is a bit of a poo poo.

I *believe* I may have a few of the coupons left (at least one since adding something to cart takes $5 off) if anyone's looking to get in on the awesome deals.

Dibs go first to people already on my friends' list. And for my sanity, I'd also prefer that it's not for a pack with a billion keys to copy and paste because it would drive me mad (but I guess you can try and persuade me to wade through the terrible key-generating system and figure out which ones are yours).
