Support NeoGAF

based off of the games we're getting, it seems like it was total bullshit when they said that the Turok PC port was in line with the service's kinds of games

I mean, on the one hand yes, but on the other hand the sum total of the statements we have from them are:
1) Lit is good, but it's not really what they ere going for, which is mostly larger scale games
2) They didn't manage to pick up several catalogues they wanted in legal negotiations
3) When they discontinued the monthly service, they still planned to publish games

So it's kinda hard to wonder what they were actually planning when they offered the service.

That's peculiar, to say the least...

It's quite obvious that they unexpectedly lost the rights to the "bigger" games they actually wanted to publish. That's why they had to cancel the subscription after all. Titles like this were probably intended as filler if at all.

Oh well, I hope there's still better titles in what's left and I wish them all the best. Apart from the late communication they handled the whole situation reasonably well.

[MulderYuffie]

It's been over 48 hours and still no keys should I be concerned? Mine was among the first batch or so that got refunded.

 

[Undead Bokun]

Still no keys for me as well.

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Put me in the no key camp as well.

 

[arts&crafts]

I got keys for free! Thanks Gamepump, although sad it was refunded.

I don't think its that obvious. Their "NES classic" turned out to be a homebrew game. I think most of what they have talked about has been exagerated a fair bit in terms of "classic games" from popular consoles - particularly with the initial pitch prominently looking to feature snes.

Again this is moot since it's a continued discussion about what a service that doesn't exist would have looked like if it did exist, but it's worth noting that when they announced the free games, they very specifically said "Well, these free games are good, but they're not the kind of games we are promising with our service, which will take us a bit longer to get the rights to". I don't think the implication was that the hypothetical first year of the hypothetical uncancelled GameTap would have had stuff like the homebrew game, I think that's something they happened to have a relationship with and could slot for the replacement game.

Still no keys. Attempted an email via the form on the website on Monday and have yet to receive a reply.

 

[Undead Bokun]

Anyone still waiting? I never received an answer to my email and still no keys.

 

[deadscreensky]

Never got any keys myself, I didn't realize they had already gone out.

 

[MulderYuffie]

Still no keys I sent them a message a week ago.

 

[ScientificPizza]

I still haven't gotten any keys after sending a message forever ago. This is a huge bummer tbh

You're just playing their latest release: Shit on your customers simulator

I mean most simulators don't really feel like you're accurately simulating anything but this one actually has me feeling like I've been shit on

 

[Undead Bokun]

Yeah, the lack of a reply of any kind is very disappointing. If you ran out of keys at least say so.

 

[Geedorah]

Got my keys nearly a month ago - Feb 23. Email was direct from a Jon Lenaway at Gamepump, not the other email I received order confirmations from.

Very sorry for the others having issues, they could definitely be handling this better from the sound of it

 

[Starbuck2907]

I got my keys back in feb too.

 

[Ibuki]

So their next game after LIT is....

A collection of development and publishing veterans focusing our expertise and resources on supporting game creators in developing and releasing their original IP as well as helping classic game makers re-release their lost masterpieces.

So this is the power of original IP.

[nephilimdj]

Just rechecked my inbox/promo/spam, nothing sadly

 

[coughlanio]

I DM'd the twitter account and got a reply immediately.

 

[Undead Bokun]

Checked my spam folder again, and no keys. I do not have a Twitter account and with the email form on the site essentially being ignored I am not sure how to go about getting the keys.

Contacted them again let's see how this goes.

 

[Undead Bokun]

Well, after writing this off due to my lack of a Twitter account I actually received a reply to my email from a few weeks ago. Inside were my keys as well as an apology for the delay.

 

[MulderYuffie]

finally got my keys too.

 

[ScientificPizza]

Yeah I got mine a couple of days ago as well. It's really a bummer how this all ended up

 

[Muskieratboi]

Well, That didn't take too long.
