Buying a game for a price they listed on their site isn't an exploit, it's a fuckup on their part.
My order is still processing, someone who DID get a key want to PM me one? It did only cost 1 cent after all. Pleeeease? I'll love you.
I have 70 cents in my steam wallet but none in my paypal. Damn you, Bestbuy.
To anyone trying to exploit this, there is likely a clause in the user agreement that protects them in some way. If there is, anyone trying to exploit the system could be in potential trouble, and since you're doing it with paypal or a credit card or whatever, they know who you are.

What are they gonna do, cry that I gave them what they asked for?
This reminds me of the day i bought a large pizza for 1$ because they fucked up the menu.
They can't do anything legal against anyone unless you force them to. That is, if you bring up or threaten legal suite first. Consumer protection laws protect you, not give you everything you want. We can't do anything about it, if they put up a bad price then they have the legal power to fix it in-house and not take it to a court for reasons like this.
I bought a key when this was still on page 1, still getting "Order in process". Seriously hope they don't cancel it.
Figures I went to sleep 5 minutes before it got posted. Would've really liked last light...
God damn it, can't believe I missed this.
If anyone has any extra keys, I would love one if that's cool!

Great job guys. Now the developers nor the publishers will get any fucking money for all of those copies. Have some fucking shame and support 4A (and DS to an extent). Games cost millions of dollars and thousands of hours of manpower and dedication, and a lot of you are going "woooh! almost free game!" This kind of exploitation is worse than piracy, if you ask me. [editline]11th July 2013[/editline] I mean seriously, I'm going through this entire thread and I see nobody complaining. Do any of you have any sense of morality or anything? It's obvious that it's a fuck up on the store's part and they should be able to rectify that mistake, don't pull that "it was on the store so i can do what i want!" bullshit, because there's no way anybody would sell ANYTHING that cost millions to create at a FUCKING PENNY less than a year after its release.
Ordered a few hours ago, status is still "Order In Process" but I haven't gotten any refunds yet. They must be backlogged.
does someone have an extra key i could have please? i missed out ):

[QUOTE=J!NX;41421986]All I read was Grrr, MilkandCooki [B]ANGRY[/B] MILK SMASH RHAAAAAAAGH! [U][I]Btw it was released in 2010 and the devs went out of business for reasons other than this.

Are you for real? Metro Last Light literally came out like 3 months ago.
[QUOTE=Aspen;41422001]metro last light has been out for less than a year[/QUOTE] fuck, misread as first metro still, who cares, just an error that'll be corrected, this 1 cent thing. [QUOTE=milkandcooki;41422015]What the fuck? Are you for real? Metro Last Light literally came out like 3 months ago.[/QUOTE] misunderstanding and are YOU for real? You're so pent up with angry energy over this it seems. I know it really sucks but jesus, this stuff happens a lot, it gets fixed and then everyone forgets about it. Getting really angry over it isn't going to solve anything, so just, don't bother with it :v:
I imagine Best buy will compensate Nvidia/4A or the codes have already been payed for and only Best buy will suffer.
So does anyone have any extra keys? Because I know if I would have found out that they were doing this in time, I would've spend a dollar to buy 100 copies of the game so I could just give them to people.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;41422026]I imagine Best buy will compensate Nvidia/4A or the codes have already been payed for.[/QUOTE] or they'll simply, IF at all possible, disable them. a million Dirt 3 keys were leaked and fixed.

BestBuy will have to pay for the copies "sold".
Does anyone have a spare key? I'd really appreciate it, I missed out. :(

Developers (and publishers to an extent) deserve more than a fraction of a cent for the work they've done. If you seriously think you're entitled to a essentially free game because you scrambled and clicked the buy button before the tech guys could fix the issue, you really got some issues.
Well looks like I didn't make it in time. [img]http://puu.sh/3AVy4.png[/img] [editline]11th July 2013[/editline] [img]http://puu.sh/3AVBd.png[/img]

Why? Because they're going to jump on the occasion, no matter what. and what if it wasn't out of a typo? What if the devs said it was in the clear? Hell, even if the devs didn't like it, bestbuy will be the one that has to pay for compensation, because of their fuck up. Bestbuy SHOULD pay for shit like this if they can't fix it in time. I'm not justifying exploiting it, but bitching doesn't help either, and the problem will sort itself out. also " ~gamers in their infinite wisdom and morality~" lol whoa how ~EDGY~ and ~MORALLY MATURE~ of you. You really are above everyone else in this thread. But careful, you might fall and have to end up dealing with looking at other peoples faces and not as if they are ants. Of course people are going to exploit the shit out of it. Its a free game. They aren't thinking about how it could affect the devs, they're thinking about not spending 50$. Not because they are ~MORALLY SUPERIOR~, and as selfish as it is, it's not truly as wrong to do so as you act it to be. Why? Because it's extremely human to get excited. It's still pretty bad, but it's not necessarily wrong either.
anyone with a seperate key PM me and we'll come to some sort of agreement i dunno.....i'll gift you something on steam or whatever please :D or hell i'll even give you 1 cent over paypal.
Damn it same here they canceled on my side too :( That suck alot... Some one have already received their cdkey ? [IMG]http://puu.sh/3AVW2[/IMG]
