SirPrimalform: I'm posting by VPN right now... Can you please unban me?

Venom: The ban should be removed. It's never a good idea to hop on the spam band wagon. Even as a joke.
Also, I couldn't access my games. You really shouldn't IP ban accounts that have paid for games, or if you do, only limit the forum access. I know you can do whatever you want according to your terms of service, but it's not going to make you any friends.

Frankly, I'm still a bit annoyed about it. Not annoyed about being banned (that's an honest mistake), but that I couldn't access my games while banned. A policy that needs a look at I think.

So - I'm not sure whether this has already been brought up or not.

I finally found a kind soul to gift me Hitman: Absolution and we agreed on the appropriate deal. Anyway, as a part of that he wanted the Sierra bundle. So I go on the front page and click on the bundle. In the bottom left, there's a button "Gift entire pack" so I clicked that. I was somewhat distracted, so entered my credit card details, etc and boom, all of the games are in My Account (I didn't "own" any of them beforehand).

I guess I should have double checked, but one would imagine that the "Gift entire pack" would actually tick the bloody gift box for you as well. Considering that it's fucking Christmas and all.

Eh, not a biggie. I know that I could send a support ticket to the mods and probably have the games removed from my account but I don't really care - it is a damn steal in any case (the price of the bundle, not what happened to me). I just don't particularly want them and have no intention of playing them in the foreseeable future. And I had to buy the pack again to get my deal through anyway.

Just giving a heads up to people.

e: and a vouch for ErekoseDM - a trusted trader!

ouch.
sorry they got you with the bundle that was aiming for me.

hopefully they can support ticket it off and put the funds back to your card. (or at least give you the option to reverse it based on the button malfunction/non-function).

glad hitman could sneak past the region lock and start his nun assassinations in your region early. ^_^

loved that conan bit with him playing it, you mentioned in the original trade post.
Cone-zone was having way too much fun blasting fools down! ^_^
square-enix knew what they were doing getting him to review it.

No worries - I don't mind reowning these games anyway, there are plenty of good ones in there. And I think that my brother wanted to play Space Quest anyway!

yeah you shouldn't lose access to games you paid for because of minor forum stuff. that should get fixed
