I don't see the coupon to take it down to $16. Still, $19 is a good price. I've been thinking about buying this game but kept putting it off. I've never heard of Greenman Gaming. Is this site legit?

I hate to say it, but this site is atrocious. Finally got the email to activate account. Now, when I'm trying to purchase the game with paypal, I'm stuck at "hang on! We are processing your order". I have been stuck on that screen for about 30 minutes now.

If I just logged off, will I still get charged for the game?

How long does it take to receive an activation email from GMG? I registered and still have not received an email from them in the last 2 hours.

Also, are the DLCs worth getting?

Is it still easy to get your saves corrupted? Buying it so fast after they fix that.

Zorander, go to your profile and click on setting and then click on edit and then click on save and it should send you another confirmation email.

Weird, it went through after all. I just got an email with the activation code for Steam and it does work. Downloading it now. Great price but they need to put some more work on their website and make it less frustrating for people.

You sound like you're the only person having any trouble.

Actually I'm having trouble with this site as well now.

I now have the activation email (thanks, Nawlins) but am having difficulty paying for the game. GMG keeps telling me there is some sort of authentication required from my provider (Paypal). I've logged in multiple times and kept getting the same messages. I tried entering my cc numbers manually into GMG as a secondary resort and the site pushed a different error (my cc vendor required some sort of authentication and GMG site did not play along).

I never had anything like this with my past purchases from Steam and Impulse.

I always have that issue when I buy a game (I use paypal) on GMG. I just check my account or email after a few seconds and the game will be there with the key info.

They're based in UK; that's probably it.

I haven't been able to make any purchases on their site at all today. Have tried 5 different payment methods now.
