That time a few summers ago on Gaf when people abused GameStop's $5 Xbox credit give away for liking their Facebook page.
Best time on Gaf.

Also the M&M Movie Night give away that gave you digital visa cards $5. The win-rate was ridiculous and it happened during a steam sale if I recall. Sooo good.

I bought Wolfenstein The New Order with that.
And Strike Suit Zero. And Titanfall DLC. And a gamertag change to my current.
Good times.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of them are stupider than that.

I'm at work but my app still says I purchased it today. So I guess I still have the licence?
Yup. IIRC it was pretty much a guaranteed win everyday for a month and I had access to two cell phone numbers. ☺️

Hmmm probably was maybe an early leak of an E3 deal where GOLD members could try it for a week. However thats what I'm guessing, or just a really bad sales error.

Except for that time that Fallout 4 went free on the PSN store then they revoked it.
That was the season pass, not the actual game and yep they revoked it.

Yup, those that bring attention to themselves can lose their license, that's on them. ;p

A rather well known news website that predates GAF by a couple of years and had that logo since 2002 or so.
Have you tried playing it lately? Took Sony a while but we've got multiple reports of revoked licenses.

or badge in whining- uh scuse me teacher it's Friday before finals, and you forgot to give us homework for the weekend.
To add on my previous comment,
Microsoft had no way to revoke the licenses on the 360 (this is why you keep your GWG when your Gold Subscription expires or got refunds) but can on the One except your average CS rep will never have that power.

I think they'd be forced to revoke it by Bethseda like Sony were. Unless MS willing to pay the costs.
you know they got that warchest ...

I have in fact I literally just checked my expiration on the license and shows I own it forever. Maybe I lucked out.
lolololol
Don't forget about all the mau increase from it
Imagine you're a news outlet. If you're gonna report on something that needs credibility such as a source, what better way to do it than from the company in question itself? "A Microsoft representative told us ____________".

only reason i did this was to try out mods, i've got the game on the ps4 still. if they dont revoke it (highly unlikely) whoopie if not then nothing lost.

Well, I never got the email to say I bought it. A check of my Microsoft account still shows KI S3 Ultra as my last purchase too.
Hm. They probably will revoke.

A journalist trusting a Microsoft service Rep to know or represent anything regarding Microsoft is a journalist I don't trust.

Can you play it offline? If so I would disconnect.

Free games (like games with gold) don't show up on your purchase history or have the confirmation email.

True. Major Nelson said it was "being addressed" on Twitter. So for those holding on hope it's a slim chance.
This - just seems odd that all of the game's available on the store Xbox, it was something as big as Fallout 4 and not something random like "Kung Fu for the Kinect".

"News Outlet" is a big stretch.
I was actually on the "News Team" many years ago when they tried to make it professional from "unprofessional, and what their writers get paid definitely does not clarify as professionals by any means. Or even employed. It is dollars per article. And I literally mean single dollars.
They are more like a place for aspiring just starting out journalists to work for next to nothing to build up their portfolio. They have had a few success stories of people who have moved on to bigger and better things. Tom Warren probably being the most known.
But it is not really what one could describe as a "News Outlet."
That tweet is old I think he was referring to the price error which had now been addressed
I am playing it offline. I'm just out of the vault.

No one's been revoked yet, and I have it open myself. Go for it.
I always find it pretty funny that no matter if it's a glitch or a price mistake someone always crack under the pressure and harass customer support in hope of getting the deal while it usually has the opposite effect. I'm not making a jab at people that do the right thing and advise the store about a mistake. I just find it funny it always follow the same pattern.

I'm confused. I thought this whole thread was about the price error? Or was there another price error that occurred with Fallout 4 on another day?

I am curious how many people get upset when Microsoft doesn't let us keep the game.

Ah ok. Cool. Fingers crossed
Lol are you proud of me papa.
As in the price of the item. It's been addressed. I don't think major is talking about addressing people who abused it.
