Tonci87 163 Posted October 13, 2013 A lot of hit and miss to be honest. It took me a dozen attempts until I got the Verification Email from GMG. But when I click on the activation link it tells me that I still haven´t voted (wich I have).... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But when I click on the activation link it tells me that I still haven´t voted (wich I have).... You have to wait 24h for the link to work, maybe more cause of the weekend. Just keep the link and test tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[evo] dan 79 Posted October 13, 2013 Just did this, went for Civ V, haven't bought any Civ's in since 3, so I thought I would take the opportunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moerderhoschi 106 Posted October 13, 2013 It's a great offer to get a key for a few votes. I've my Civ V key already :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniperwolf572 758 Posted October 13, 2013 A lot of hit and miss to be honest. It took me a dozen attempts until I got the Verification Email from GMG. But when I click on the activation link it tells me that I still haven´t voted (wich I have).... Had the same, voted 7 hours ago and tried a couple of times then with that same message. Tried it now and got the game. As Tony says, a bit of patience required. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf 12 Posted October 13, 2013 Got my Mafia 2 key yesterday a whole day after voting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 131 Posted October 13, 2013 On the same GMG page where it says "appears you´ve not voted" it´s also telling you about the required waiting time of up to 24 hrs. Very kind offer from GMG and 2K. Already got my Civ5 aswell, however not installing it yet as i´m confident it´d mess up my already messed gaming schedule even more :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maddogx 13 Posted October 14, 2013 Yay, it worked! Did actually have to wait a whole day, but I'm not gonna complain. After all, free game. :) Thanks for the tip, JBR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rumsfield 1 Posted October 14, 2013 Unless I'm mistaken, it appears the prize is no longer a copy of either Mafia or Civilization, it is now a chance to win an iPad mini? Damn, guess I'm late to the party! :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The game giveaway is on until the 20th. You need to wait at least 24 hours before the link you receive in your email from Green man gaming will work or you'll get an error like "You didn't appear to vote yet" or something like that. If you use a different browser and email address you can get both games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted October 15, 2013 I received the email that should have had my key but - no key :( just a blank space after the word "Key:" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0adki11 3949 Posted October 15, 2013 I've received an email to say that, they are no longer offering the free game(s) as they have had too many entries :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted October 15, 2013 Well I fired off a polite email & received a key, and Steam has accepted & loaded up Civilization V for me... so that's turned out OK for me. Haven't tried it yet still at work :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
custard 10 Posted October 15, 2013 All mention of the free game has gone as far as I can see, bummer a few hours too late @OP thanks for heads up though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JdB 151 Posted October 15, 2013 I chose Mafia 2, and i can't say i'm good at driving those beautiful cars... I hope you haven't switched the driving style to "Simulation" then ... Regarding the e-mail: two days and still no e-mail with a key. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted October 15, 2013 I hope you haven't switched the driving style to "Simulation" then ... Regarding the e-mail: two days and still no e-mail with a key. Oh well. You should contact their customer support with a kind Email. AS far as I remember there was something along the lines of "Don´t worry your name is on the list" under the "wait 24 hours" stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf 12 Posted October 15, 2013 You have to click on a link in one of those emails you received, then you will get the key in another email. Here was instantaneous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sudayev 27 Posted October 15, 2013 How do I register with fb? Simply I don't want another useless account Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted October 15, 2013 You have to click on a link in one of those emails you received, then you will get the key in another email. Here was instantaneous. Did that on the 13th, it said I should be getting the key in due time. Going to wait for a few more hours before I e-mail them. I just rechecked the confirmation link and the page now says that the process was stopped and they are following up on everyone that sent in their votes before they stopped awarding the free game offer. Edit: lol I just got it 5 seconds after posting this :p Thanks anyway :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
