Clicking on a game to get to its main page just loops me back around to the default store search page, or gives an Error 403. Anyone else having this bug?

Yes, it's the same for me. I tried to get to different games' pages in different ways, but no success so far :S

Same here. Every game is a 403. And the forum is kind of laggy.

Much thanks for the posts. Now I know it's not just me.

Also having a bug with my cart notification randomly showing as empty even though I have 4 items in it currently.

With the sale going on and the site getting positively hammered that's to be expected.

What? When is it ever expected that a site will break under the load of a sale? When does this ever happen anywhere else?

Steam, Epic Game Store, Origin, Fanatical.....

Ditto. I thought it was just bad links in the announcement pages (sadly all too common) but even clicking from search or a sale listing page just takes you to the catalog page and not the game card.

Maybe paladin was being facetious, because yeah, my experience matches yours, wolfsite.

Seems to be getting cleared up, pages that were sending me to the catalog are sending me to the proper store page.

When? I've never experienced anything like it on any of those sites. I'm sure it's happened, but not recently.

Happened on Epic when GTA V was for free. The whole store was down for hours.
On Steam? Last time I've noticed it was summer sale. I didn't even know that the sale started. I just noticed that I couldn't install a game and wanted to go to the forums. Nope, no forums, just a blank page. On a gaming news site I found out that the summer sale started xP

I bought 7 games earlier today and had no problems, but as I was going to buy another just now that I had forgotten about, I find I can't enter any game's page. That's annoying...

Fair enough.
