I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

gamestop is the worst corporation known to gaming. You deserve whatever you get.

No. I specifically asked for "digital download" and the confirmation page even says so, multiple times:


Quote:

US Shipping address: Digital Download (No items shipped)

Master of Orion II

Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares Remove
* No physical media will be sent for this download only item

$5.99

Master of Orion

The classic 4x game that started it all
* No physical media will be sent for this download only item



This is stoopid

ETA: I checked my account online and a $.01 authorization has hit it but not the full amount.

You couldn't have posted this somewhere BEFORE I bought it?

FWIW, I searched for Masters of Orion on Steam and came up empty.

I didn't see number 2 on amazon for digital download either. Still I would never buy something from gamestop.

Is it even possible to cancel once they hit my CC?

Jesus I had no idea they were this bad. You'd think they'd be at least marginally competent at sending out e-mails.
