I have a feeling that something will be done but after e3 so there is no negative press remarks.

Of course its their mistake for advertising at 0.00 $

Wouldn't revoking the licenses after this much time has past for people who already owned the game who may have put in 30,40,50, or even 80 hours ruin their saves making them have to put out the 49.99 to finish the game?

"this much time" - less than 24 hour later

lmao, if anyone managed to beat the game already then they deserve a copy.

I'm assuming they meant people who already owned the base game and only got the season pass / dlc.

If / when they revoke it, they'll completely lose their saves if they don't have a save prior to when they installed the DLC without forking out the money for the season pass.

If you already played the base game before this error and then got the Deluxe Edition for free and played any in the past day, your save would be converted to a DLC save which would mean if the copies are revoked, they would lose all progress in the game.

oh, didn't know that. i need to make sure i don't overwrite these saves then. might just start a new game.
 
Im downloading it right now(turned on my xbox one and there it was ready for download) I assume it installs everything all at once(I got the digital deluxe version)
 
Just got the message from Xbox that they are revoking it and giving me $10 by the end of June.
Xbox said:
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.


Wonder if they can really do anything if you have already downloaded it and you keep your console disconnected.
 
The dream is dead. Just got a message from Xbox Live saying my free download will no longer work.

I was given a $10 credit.

edit: Guess I'm buying Overwatch crates!

I got the same message, it says $10 but I'm not American? Will I get it in USD or my own regions currency?

Hope it's in USD, UK store is overpriced.

That's that then.

WELP! I still ended up on top from this little venture but I feel bad for anyone whose save got screwed up by playing the new DLC.

No complaints here, was expecting the revoke and nice to get the $10 :) Though I'm not sure what that'll be for me since I'm in the UK.

Just came to say I got the message as well. Good on them for the $10. Didn't have to do anything and they still did something.
 
Yeah ditto to what everyone is saying about the $10 deposit msg on xbox. I only got to play 10 minutes of it, but I liked what I played at least.
