Steam checkout error = 3 games free!

PapaLazaru · 29 Jun 2010 at 18:30

I bought three games on Saturday on Steam (AvP Classic, Lead & Gold, Ghostbusters) and it crashed as I was checking out.

When I rebooted Steam, the games are in my list and I have now downloaded them but still not been charged! :eek:

Not really bothered it they catch up with me as I have done nothing wrong. just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

Make the most of your steam account while you still can, mwahahaha.

I'd prolly tell them, if they find out they could either just remove them from your account or ban you thinking you've hacked games.

Not worth it.

I will email them. My account is far too precious to me!

I think you've done the right thing there, not worth the risk.

I think you just have to do something like exit Steam as the checkout is doing it's 'working' thing.

Anyway, I have emailed them. I am kind of hoping when they see my account they might just give them to me on a freebee.

I phoned my card provider and they confirmed no debit, so far anyway.

I can see a lot of people having crash's on their computers now !!

PapaLazaru · 29 Jun 2010 at 22:14

Well they just emailed me back. And debited me.

ThorpedoUK · 29 Jun 2010 at 22:26

lol probably get debited twice now!

Sometimes take a while to go through....

Rroff · 29 Jun 2010 at 22:34

They'd have probably caught up with it shortly anyhow - I had a purchase go through but not charged due to a screwup within the paypal system and steam emailed me shortly afterwards requesting an alternative form of payment (no not the dodgy kind).

Maybe you should email back and ask for a discount off your next purchase for your honesty? Give it a shot you have nothing to lose!

It takes over a week for most of the steam games to be taken from my account. Very strange

HAz · 29 Jun 2010 at 22:42

I am still without the confirmation email though and I always get those immediately.
