It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

Freyr-O: Let me know. First come first served.
You know, that this game is for free right now on GoG?
Or is this thread meant as a joke?
Ha-ha! I didn't notice... Silly me... I've got a spare key.


So, the thread is closed.
It would be nice if it was possible to claim it but unfortunately since the gog.com site is only Chrome tested the users of other browsers currently can't claim it ...
Wouldn't it be useful to use this thread to give keys to the people that can't get them via the front page? I've seen some posts about it and since GOG already stated that they don't care about the issues for these users, it could prove useful.

They did? Where?
edit: The freebee banner worked with IceCat 60.3esr. No need for a key anymore.

If anyone can send me a key, I would be grateful.
Can't get the game with the browsers I have.

I did claim it without problems with the latest Firefox.
Well, I see a very polite post of understandings and apologies...and this:

Site not working on old browser versions

As much as we’d like to, it’s impossible for us to keep support for all old versions of popular browsers. There is a reason why browsers are being updated by their creators (mainly being security reasons), and our main goal is to keep the site up to date with the latest versions.
And when it comes to IE support, due to the amount of work needed to support the website under IE combined with a very low margin of users, we decided to drop IE11 support entirely.

I don't see the "we don't care" part.

Maybe it's in another comment?
I can't blame elcook for what he posted there. It's unreasonable to expect GOG to support browsers, or version of browsers, that are not supported by their own developers.

You probably misunderstood him. If it's not working right now, you are using a, for them, outdated browser and/or version. This will not be fixed as they will only make sure that it works on the latest versions (of Crome and Firefox and maybe some other lucky browser).

avatar
BreOl72: Oh, I understood him perfectly well...however - you may have erroneously read something into his post, that wasn't there...(hint: "we don't care").
Fair enough. Maybe they care but not enough to fix it (pff, semantics). The end result is the same.

ConsulCaesar: But that's absolutely logical. I have worked with three different web developers for unrelated projects, and all of them tested exactly in Chrome, Firefox and one of the Microsoft ones (IE or Edge). And they wouldn't even think of spending resources to make their websites work on anything other than the most updated version.
*than their most updated version. Other browsers exist, forks exist, ESR exists. It's fair to do that, but ignoring the users isn't the right thing to do. Say openly that you don't care (which they have basically done, except on page 53 of some semi-random thread) and that's it.

That's just your biased opinion.
Not just mine, if you care to look at another thread (winter sale one), another user understood it pretty much like me.

BreOl72: Cool...that makes two biased users, then...doesn't change the fact, that GOG didn't declare that they "don't care".
Semantics are pretty cool, don't you think?
;)
Or maybe it is you that is biased? Dun, dun, dun. Anyway, please don't force this thread to a page 2. Now we have mostly off-topic here...

/edit: Also, this thread was supposed to be for the people who can't claim their games...poor Lostinablock and nelegalno, people will likely miss their posts now.

EDIT: if anything, their posts will remain more visible, since we keep the thread updated (else it would sink lower and lower on the timeline). ;)
