#396916 FM18 Discount Removed
Shuggy McDonut
Doesn't seem that strange an assumption to me, since sortitoutsi doesn't have access to my Steam account, and therefore cannot verify if I have FM17. The most logical way for the discount to be applied is through Steam once they have have verified it. It's called a rebate, and they are actually fairly common even if you've never heard of them.
It also seems fairly logical to me that having sent out at least two emails to every member advertising a discount, that once you've realised that you cannot honour said discount you should let them know in the same manner. Then again, if you go around offering discounts without having any kind of formal agreement with Valve authorising you to do so, and having no other means of honouring that offer, maybe logic isn't playing that big a part. I'm not really sure if it would actually be considered fraudulent advertising (although it does have a whiff of Bait-and-Switch), but the people at Trading Standards might be interested.
Also, having a reference to the discount on the page selling the item when you have no intention of offering it is, at the very least, "a monumental brain fart." I've included the screen capture in jpeg this time, apologies for including the wrong file last time.
As for the Steam code, it has been activated, due to my misguided belief that it would be a necessary step in authenticating my claim to a rebate.
