LynetteC: hehe I know I can hide it if necessary, but I'm making a point - especially as I know they've already transferred a freebie to a gift code for at least one other person. Just my inner bitch coming out to play! :-/
CarrionCrow: Hmm. That isn't a manifestation of bitchiness to me. If it's been done for others, it should be done for you as well.
Consistency is always a good thing. (The still cranky person grumbles while considering that they waited 10 months for an Insomnia that got cut off before its conclusion...)
The bitchiness is not so much the insistence that they be consistent and change the game to a code, it's telling them to take it back because I don't want it. :-) (And if I'd been around when they pulled the plug on the sale you may well have witnessed some *SERIOUS* bitching from this corner!)
I've emailed Support back and told them that I was "surprised and disappointed" by their response and that as a regular forum user I was aware that other people have had free games converted to gift codes.
I also pointed out that I clicked on it to buy to give away (directing them to my GIft Code list as evidence) and asked that if they still could not provide a code, could they please remove it from my shelf as it's of no interest to me. Let's see what response I get in the morning.
Incidentally, is JuriJ the only Support Staff at GOG? He/she's the only person who's ever responded to my tickets.
LynetteC: You've just been hired as my backing singer. lol
IAmSinistar: Excellent! I also do a very creditable rendition of "Rock Lobster". :)
Cool. What about Love Shack? I've always wanted to do that but it's just not possible without a male vocalist.:-)
