    Obviously all the crying in the world is gonna get you nothing but $10 from MS. If you want the game, buy it. Duh. Maybe I'm just confused because when I want something... I buy it. I've come to the conclusion too many
    gamers can't afford their hobby.

  2. Yeah, I did buy it. When it said it was $0.00. I called and asked about it and I owned the license and everything. Anyways the only thing stupid about this is that you have the inability to understand such a simple concept. It isn't about wanting the game
    so badly, it's about how ridiculous it is to assume that a transaction that has already been completed can be reversed and the license taken without your consent. Whats even worse is people like you let them get away with it. So Sexy Vampirella you can move
    along and be wrong somewhere else if the topic doesn't please you.

    But hey I guess its okay to let them mess up with no repercussion. We should branch that out from digital games into real world purchases so they can come to your door and demand you return your leather boots when they mistakenly price them and let you check
    them out. Its not like its their fault for not having preventative measures in place or anything!

    Nothing you can do OP, for big $ bribed your gobernment years ago into making these 'laws.' (Lower case L)

    So just let em have it, and the next time you think of voting. Vote NO on prop Yes, and if elected. He promises to give each voter a FREE Didital Delux edition of Fallout 4 on the console of your choice.

    Hay, might as well laugh about it and let MS do all the crying. Seriuos, I would send them a gift wrapped box of tissues, along with a note saying. 'Use these to dry your tears.'

  5. lol

    Well, an update on the situation, I have been playing Fallout 4 for about an hour now. Idk if this is another mistake by them or not, but it is working. Either way it still burns me up that they can do that. That makes digital games as a whole unappealing.
    I understand this is a special situation and I usually am a bit of an Xbox fanboy, but allowing them to remove a license from someones account after it has bee acquired simply isn't fair. Every single person I know irl agrees that this is disconcerting. In
    fact the only people that I know that disagree are the handful that disagree within this forum topic.

    Funny...someone trying to champion what's right vs wrong...I guarantee that you didn't stumble onto a free 0.00$ download for fallout...and surprise!!! You believe you are entitled to it cuz of a glitch at best. So sad. If someone drops a Hundred dollar
    bill in front of you and fails to notice is it yours? My guess is for you that means yes...it was a mistake and you tried to take advantage of it. So...what's your definition of right. Only when it benefits you?...lol. Doesn't matter, you will not have the
    game unless you pay for it. Yes I see you said you still do...good luck with that. When did people turn from earning to owed. SO SAD and laughable and stupid. Keep this thread going, but you won't change a thing...LOL.

  7. OP, obviously you don't know right from wrong. There is NO WAY that a game that is still selling for $60 at the store ( brick and mortar OR digital ) AND the season pass would be given away for free. You saw a mistake, took advantage of it and when they
    found their mistake and took the game back you complained. Right there says it all, self entitled.

    OP - It was a mistake, they happen everyday. I'm quite sure you make several everyday yourself. Get over it, get over your own ego and entitlement, and move on. Someone here sounds like nothing more than an annoying, self-entitled, spoiled brat. I'll let
    you sit here and figure out who.

  9. Yes, I do make mistakes everyday and there isn't a reset button for me either....if its my mistake I have to deal with the consequences because that's the real world.

    Yes, this is the real world. I see you're new here, so welcome. Around here, there are laws in place that protect companies when they make simple mistakes, which are there to stop dishonest and self entitled brats from taking advantage of the situation.

    If you ever make a mistake, leave your car unlocked and someone steals all your stuff then I assume you will accept the consequences and just say the thief was entitled to take all of your stuff because you made a mistake, right?

  11. Hey, everyone! Our pricing error on Fallout 4 has been fixed and your free download will no longer work. For the inconvenience we will deposit $10 by the end of June in your Microsoft Account. This expires one year from the time it was deposited. However,
    there have been some legal threats in here, so we have to shut this thread down.

    I’m truly sorry to hear about any inconveniences this may have caused. As this is a discussion forum, if you would like to pursue legal action then we will not be able to assist further. For more information, please visit our
    Legal and Corporate Affairs page. Thanks for understanding!

    Interesting thought.

    Survay 100 people (not the people here influnced by MS) asking.

    1) 'If a $90.00 digital game was listed as FREE, would you dl it?' - All 100 would say yes, correct?

    2) 'If the company contends that it was a mistake, would you give it back?' - I don't think they would.

    3) 'The company insists you give it back, and offers you $10.00. in digital currency' - Again, I don't think they'll go for it.

    Point is, words have meaning and FREE, at least to people outside MS influnce. Means just that.. FREE. While inside MS influnce, FREE could be interpreted as anything but free.

    You're holding a sign that reads. 'Free candy.' Give a random child on a crowed street candy, then after he takes a bite, ask for it back saying. 'I made a mistake, the candy isn't free but actually $90.00. Please return my candy.' and see what happens.
    You'll be lucky if the crowd, over hearing/seeing what you just did doesn't turn into a mob.

    Microsoft is the big dog and people are out for blood. Posed this this scenario to my girlfriend and she agrees with the O.P.. Then asked her if she mistakenly left a zero out of a car she was selling for $15,000.00 should $1500.00 be honored...her reply
    was, "That's different!". Lol.

    I would be happy with the $10.00 in this case, though wouldn't if I had a physical copy already home and they tried to "get it back".

    Was at a large retailer several years back looking for a toolbox. Found a very high quality box for $11.00 and knew it couldn't be right as more expensive boxes were much more money and cheaper quality. Long story short, found a manager, pointed it out,
    and he made the offer to purchase it at cost. I paid $46.00 for a very nice box, and they didn't make the any profit on a product that should have been marked $129.00; fair in the managers eyes and mine.

    Peace, J.R.

    "But, if I were at work. Whether for myself or no, I would actually work so that mistakes like that couldn't happen."

    Nobody is perfect. And we are dealing with complex systems. It could very well be that there was a pricing change on something totally different and some kind of system error caused the problem. So in instances like this I have no problem with what they
    have done. And it is a nice thing to give the $10 instead of just removing the license and fixing the price error.

    Then again, I have seen this happen on physical items. Even at the grocery store. They had an advertisement of a price that was way low. Come to find out that the place that prints and sends the adds had an error. No way they could honor it. Most understood
    a mistake but a few where very upset. I had a friend who is like that and was very upset. Same friend would not honor his mistake when it happened in his store because it was priced by mistake due to getting busy and accidently mislabeling the item.

    And MS may be huge but they have to have consistency. So say they let this one slide. Then it happens again at some point in the future. They would be expected to honor it. And it could be a much larger number of people and cost a lot more money. And
    all from an input error that happened to mess with a game they did not expect and thus did not check for correctness.
