Now I know to never use GMG to preorder anything, really expected I would be getting my key on time. Not sure why I expected that as I never ordered from them like this before but eh. now I know

Just because you didn't get the key exactly when it hit on Steam? Patience, grasshopper - the keys will come.

poo poo, what does it mean when it stops updating at 1% and changes the status to "Suspended?"

Either your internet is having problems or your Steam is having problems. Both can probably be solved with a Steam restart, like most things in life.

Yeah, what the hell is wrong with these kids that can't wait a couple hours for their silly video game expansion? I swear, the word 'privileged' was invented for these shits.

At this point I am pretty sure I am going to tell my bank to dispure the CC charge. I didn't get what I ordered or what they promised Disputing a charge against GMG shouldnt affect my Steam account right?

Is the Pathfinder a variant on the Warrior or the Scout? It's better than both, it seems..

horrible people parade posted:

yes this is the 9th of july, where steam users are getting the game already, next time if they didn't intend to give it to us ON TIME, please inform us maybe say AHEAD OF TIME? that way i can make my purchase on steam.

Like I said, my time = money.

even if they offered me games for 1$ iam never buying from them again like most people who has jobs and don't mind paying full price for games

That is the most bloody ridiculous rear end kissing excuse I've ever read, FINE don't care that you don't get the product you paid for when it's suposed to be released (YES IT IS RELEASED, NOW, NOT IN 3 HOURS, NOW), WE do, so you can *expletive deleted* right off and stop being the white knight of GMG we rightly don't give a crap about what you think is "okay", it's like going at some bloody restaurant and wait for 3 hours for your meal, and then some bloody idiot tell you "you'll get it EVENTUALLY", I didn't pay to get it eventually.

Been waiting for an hour, this is unacceptable. Definitely won't buy from GmG again unless a rep comes down here to tell us what's up and own up for their mistake.

I'm just preoccupying my time by watching Yugioh Abridged Marik's Evil Council with my brother. We are all just way too anxious.

Really tired of the GMG butt kissers here. I paid for a product, they have my money, I expect service. The end. That's how it works.

The worth of a Person's time is almost universally inversely proportionate to the frequency at which they remind you how important it is.

I'm living proof of that, mining the internet for silly poo poo like this at this time of the night.

I think this'll be my last time ordering something like this from somewhere other than steam. I'm not saying that it's their fault about the keys, but the fact is I could have gotten in a few hours of playtime tonight, and instead I saved a couple bucks and I get zero gameplay tonight. I know it's only one day, but darn it, my time is worth more than a dollar an hour. Steam from here on out.

The thing that amazes me is just how important it is to these kids that they have what they want right now.

I got 3 friends to buy from GMG with me. This sucks. I don't care about Gamersgate, Amazon, or whoever. GMG should have a rep on the forums explaining why our pre-order was worthless.

Emphasis mine.

For some reason Venice has no settlers after building your first city.
I double checked with Rome who do have settlers, I have not checked any other Civs yet,

My apologies for spamming up the thread with this stuff, there's just some funny poo poo going round on the Steam community hub.

Good lord the Terracotta Army sounds broken. I mean, I always thought it needed an actual effect to make it worth acquiring, but this isn't what I had in mind, Firaxis!

Welp, hopefully GMG will get their act together tomorrow. If not, I guess we'll have more justified (but still likely funny) rage to mine.

fake edit: Mac finally got the update for moving iron back to Bronze Working. Were there any other significant things in that patch?

Some AI improvements and new tile and unit graphics, but otherwise, no, not to my knowledge.

In my experience, he doesn't give a gently caress about you if you're seperated by sea, but then again most AIs are less bellicose navally with me.

She probably got Great Engineer points from some other wonder she built, which only payed off (conveniently) right after Guilds popped.

That MMO will either be awful and fail horribly or be good and still fail horribly. With any luck it'll at least be an interesting (and loving expensive) exercise in game design.
