Tried to buy Absolver as a gift for my friend so I 'd have somebody to play with, and have him download Gog as well. But then Gog tells me i can't buy gifts unless I wait 3 months after my last purchase. So I purchase some wallet credits thinking I could use those. Afterwards, it gives me the same error, have to wait three months, now I don't want that wallet money anymore. I try to contact support, and every time the page loads in Chrome it won't go to the page saying it's not safe and people could be trying to hack my account or whatever, so I can't even contact support, so I'm stuck here in the forum. Well guess what, I was trying to give Gog a chance but now I don't see the point beyond playing Gwent. I still bought the game, but guess what, I did it on Steam without a single hitch. Congrats Gog, not only did you lose out on the money, but also on having an extra customer download your program, and you managed to disenfranchise an existing user you are likely now going to lose. As for me, I want my Gog wallet money back, and if that doesn't happen, it will certainly be the last $30 I ever spend on Gog.

I'm not sure why you need 3 threads about this. Anyway the gifting restrictions were placed for new accounts because some people were buying games using stolen credit cards then selling the keys on G2A. The charge-backs cost GOG a lot of money and also the peeps buying from G2A were hit a removal of their games. I'm sure all this is written somewehere in the Terms of Services, which almost nobody reads.

Seriously, stop spamming the forum with this. Just get in touch with support (use a different browser or computer) and ask for a waiver! I had that issue before and Support promptly gave me a waiver and I've been buying and gifting games ever since

Sometimes a new thread doesn't show up right away, and so the OP thinks it didn't go through and posts again. Considering the text is pretty much the same, that might be the case here. I've seen plenty of long-time forum members do the same thing. At least the OP isn't shunning self-accountability.

I think we all know we can't delete our comments, and it turns out members can't delete their own threads, either.

This. The forum is borked as usual. I tried making a thread twice yesterday but gave up, because the post window just kept hanging after clicking the post button. In my case, the thread happened to have not gone through at all, but it might just as well have been posted twice.

Hi Shisliff. Sorry to hear about that. The 3 months since your first purchase thing is a bit of a nuisance made necessary because credit card thieves started buying gifts with stolen cards and selling them on G2A. Support can help you skip that 3-month wait.

Of course that obviously doesn't help if you can't get to the support page in the first place. I've never heard of anyone having that problem before (maybe Chrome actually did catch somebody trying to MitM your connection?). If you like, I or someone else could let support know of your problem on your behalf. Just say the word.

Edit: apparently there was a certificate problem yesterday that appears to be fixed now. That explains why you were getting that warning when trying to go to support. I think it should be fixed by now, so give it another try.

Did you leave a tag open? Messed up link? Include a number that was on today's GOG anti-spam list?

Not to my knowledge. No tags to close, no numbers, nothing. It's not the first time it's happened to me either. I tried to make a thread back in January when Miguel Ferrer died, but the forum just wouldn't let me. I have no idea why, other than the fact that the GOG forum software is a buggy piece of shit. And as far as I know, nobody else ever posted a thread about his death either, which bugs me somewhat. He was a great actor with some iconic roles under his belt.

At first, I had thought that this necroed thread is about the game Ugh!

How about adding it here GOG?
