iLoup, what happened to you was NOT some random accident from you clicking the button.
The same thing that happened to you, happened to me yesterday. I did NOTbuy Insurgency, I never clicked on the screen by accident, I had not even visited the shop, or Chrono.gg that day except to view what the daily deal was. Yet, I received an email stating that 6000 of my coins had been charged for a copy of Insurgency (which happens to be a game I already own…) Hopefully, support can get back to us on this issue. I’m still trying to figure out how to contact them correctly.
i would be mighty interested in hearing from Chrono/@lonin/@dusty/@frst on this if there is an actual breach or something going on.
Do i need to scurry to withdraw my savings, and cash in the 401k pension before there is nothing left in the bank?
Even though you use the same account for the community and for the site itself, it doesn’t register as “joining” the community until you first post, I guess.
yep (or at least directly sign in to/sign up for the forum part, regardless of posting)
tho the influx in “just created” acc’s does make it appear more conspicuous tho you must admit,
but Xardok was created in July, (even tho first post), hence why my paranoia levels got elevated
but the skepticism of tons of fresh insta created acc’s can make one slightly suspicious in the sort of “is these all the same dude?”
i’m not saying it is, but sadly i’m too cynical to dismiss the potential possibility of it too…
If this issue gets resolved, it will be by refunding everyone who bought insurgency, not by pressing the “give 6000 coins to everyone in this thread” button. I’m here to help give a scale to the issue, and to see how it resolves. There is absolutely no way that posting in this thread would allow someone who isn’t affected to get free coins.
I look at the account creation too, it would just be more believable coming from someone who has been in the community before. Every time it was someone with multiple accounts complaining they couldn’t get games, their account had just been created and we never saw them again. Usually people complaining about the quality of the games in the coin shop have brand new accounts too.
That being said I think this one might be real, enough so that I checked my order history to make sure there was nothing there that shouldn’t be.
