For those of you who haven’t been keeping up, there’s been a bit of controvery surrounding popular digital game retailer, Greenmangaming (or GMG), and their selling of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt PC keys. This ‘debacle’, if you will, began on May 6th, when CD Projekt Red, the games developer, alleged that GMG was selling keys which they hadn’t authorized. This of course led to fans from each side defending their respective groups, however, in the end things kind of died down… that is, until release day rolled around at 7PM EST Monday the 18th.
Greenmangaming failed to deliver their keys to customers, and actually sent out several hundred, if not thousand, emails with blank key slots. With most of the internet watching, GMG failed to keep their word, and the result was a 45 page forum post of angry customers demanding their keys, or their refunds. So far it looks like keys have all been released to their buyers, however, there are still reports of some keys being invalid. The big story here, however, is that in an attempt to reconcile with their customers, GMG has sent out an email to everyone who pre-ordered (and didn’t get a refund) The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This coupon entitles the customer to 40% off their next purchase with the site, but it does leave a sour taste in our mouths.
As an avid user of Greenmangaming for the last couple of years, I can’t help but wonder when something like this will happen again, and what the backlash of such a situation could entail for GMG and its customers. It’s one of those times when you have to really sit back and ask yourself ‘Is sorry truly enough?’
