My Fight with Steam

I can see the argument from both sides, on one hand if it happened once or twice ok fine mistakes happen and I would let it go. On the other hand, if it starts to be a reoccurring issue, I would get pissed that they kept doing a bait and switch.

It is absurd that they're doing it, but there's squat you can do about it, and you're using their software; their software, their rules.

I do. I just expected them to be less flaming. Silly me, eh? :D

No, not silly you. I didn't go name-calling or anything. I just thought it was foolish (I used the word "stupid", I'm sorry if that offended you. This is a mature gaming community, so 'swear' words will appear from time to time) of you not to realize you wouldn't get anywhere... It's all good.

Adult words don't phase me. Assuming i am a teenage kid yelling YOLO while i do something stupid against Steam may rub me the wrong way.

Either way, it's over. Willing to let it all go. :)

Are...are you fucking serious? You're really going to take this to court, over a stupid game, that will soon go on sale next month for %75 off and again at the same percentage during the Steam Summer Sale. The amount of fuck in this ticket is...just...damn.:spitting:

You won't get far, as it's already been mentioned, your account could get termed. Is it worth that risk for an indie game? Also, I have not heard of any gaming company, Steam, Origin, GameFly, offering a %100 discount on any game, or a 'free' game, through the store page, these freebies are always sent through a provider and are accompanied by a key. The only time this is ignored is when the game in question is FROM the company, such as Valve, who gave away copies of Portal, twice. All you had to do was install it during the promotional period and it was yours.

If you are intent on going through and force Steam's hand, then Rest in Piss when you poof from the Steam Community, forever. :thisfnguy:

My two cents, but after having a brief chat, Steam is "Gonna break his fucking legs, for a 10 dollar game."

You seem salty over something that's already been resolved. You're late to the party. :thisfnguy:

Steam apologized to me in the end for both the advertisement to my email (that came DIRECTLY FROM STEAM) and that the price was wrong on their main deal page. I'm not taking them to court. I never was. It was to see how they responded. It's obvious that Steam doesn't make the sale prices for 99% of the games. That doesn't mean that they weren't WRONG and shouldn't be called out for it. That's what i did.

The ticket was forwarded to a second support rep who apologized for how bad the first rep sucked. He explained to me, in detail, how it all works. Most of which i already knew. It was nice to talk to someone there that wasn't copying and pasting responses to me. In the end, my account was never in jeopardy, i was right in asking for the game (which the steam rep admitted as well), and nothing bad will come of it. Gatherix said it pretty well when he said that what they did WAS wrong but there isn't anything they can do to fix it. I'm not afraid to call a company out on it's mistakes. If i make a late payment to a company, they have no problem calling me out and charging me a fee or raising some sort of rate. Just because YOU wouldn't have the balls to start something like this up doesn't mean i'm an idiot. :limphand:

I got what i wanted and more. I have no regrets. ;)

At least you didn't make yourself sound like a total dick. That would suck, eh?

Better to let sleeping dogs lie. Congrats on using up your one-time customer service gesture. Honesty, I'd have save that re-claim for when you really get screwed. *Account Hijacked, all your items disappear, game on your library get's revoked because someone did a charge back..*

All I'm saying is you crapped them out and got another tech to do this addition to your account, using up your once-in-a-lifetime gesture. I already used up mine, on reclaiming the Half-Life 1 Anthology that resulted in a VAC ban on a friend's account, where according to Steam, it's supposed to warn you when you gift someone something that they will not be able to play due to previous violations. Now if I get something similar to your derps, I won't be able to reclaim it.

I reclaimed something I LOST, you reclaimed something you never OWNED but a piece of virtual paper...:trollface:

I never said i got the game. I said i got what i wanted. Steam legally could not provide the game to me for the price they advertised due to contractual agreements with the game creator. I understood all of that when it was explained to me.

I didn't use up my one life. I wouldn't do that for an indie game. Don't assume.
