Dear Redditors,

As you noticed the price for recently released Civilization VI Deluxe Edition was really low. Unfortunately, it was too good to be true. The discount for Civilization VI Deluxe Edition was a price bug on our side. We're really sorry, but we need to cancel orders for Sid Meier's Civilization VI - Deluxe Edition. If you bought the game, your money for the order will be transferred back to your bank account within the next few days. If you already activated the game on your Steam account, the game will be deactivated and removed from your account soon.

We're really sorry about the whole situation. During such huge sales like Black Friday, where we have so many discounted games, such mistakes sometimes just take place. As a small form of compensation for the situation, any person who bought the game will receive from us a 20% discount code for the next purchase on Games Republic and they will be able to keep bonus Anomaly 2 game on their accounts.

If you have any question, please DM me our write on support@gamesrepublic.com"

First response

Dear Redditors, As you noticed the price for recently released Civilization VI Deluxe Edition was really low. Unfortunately, it was too good to be true. The discount for Civilization VI Deluxe Edition was a price bug on our side and the deal is no longer available. We will contact people who bought the game via e-mail regarding their orders with further details. If you have any question, please DM me our write on support@gamesrepublic.com

The edited response from Gamesrepublic after people pointed out that they would be breaking their own Terms and Conditions and the law by revoking keys....

Other message:

We are still investigating the issue, thus the edit, but you can rest assured, that we will try our best to compensate for the mistake, one way or another.

They seem to be refunding everyone, even with keys redeemed. so they might still revoke everything once they're done with refunds.

It was hard for me to sell my copy of dark souls 3 for 20euros steam wallet, i can only imagine how hard it would be to resell this once the bug ends... people add this game to their wishlist but they won't spend too much money on it,so just buy it if you wanna play it brothers. Bump.

I'm 100% sure this is price glitch as I have only -15% (in Poland), so get it while you can. I already got it via friend :3.

The base game shows as -15% as well, Deluxe still -80% so far

Nope, I checked with Deluxe. It's -15%, base is -20% for me. Very likely this is how it should be for everyone, but they screwed up something.

I get the feeling maybe they have caught on and are now going to block purchases while they fix the issue.

There are people who paid via PayPal after my purchase and already received the keys. I paid with my credit card directly (without PayPal).

I've seen a lot of stores that require confirmation for buying with credit cards directly. So, shouldn't be a problem.

But at least the tax is already included in the labeled store price. In US you will see the tax as an extra to the store labeled price.

Tried to reload cart and proceed to payment again. Got message: Order is in progress. If you wish to proceed, we need to cancel this order first.

I did not proceed. I guess I'll just wait now and hope for the best.
