About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
This is £60 on Steam. Mental price.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is the next entry in the award-winning Civilization franchise, which has sold in nearly 33 million units worldwide, including more than 8 million units of Civilization V.
Originally created by legendary game designer Sid Meier, Civilization is a turn-based strategy game in which you attempt to build an empire to stand the test of time. Become Ruler of the World by establishing and leading a civilization from the Stone Age to the Information Age. Wage war, conduct diplomacy, advance your culture, and go head-to-head with history’s greatest leaders as you attempt to build the greatest civilization the world has ever known.
Civilization VI offers new ways to engage with your world: cities now physically expand across the map, active research in technology and culture unlocks new potential, and competing leaders will pursue their own agendas based on their historical traits as you race for one of five ways to achieve victory in the game.

I think I may have a problem. Credit limit being one of them.
"Dear Citizen! Thank you for your purchase at Games Republic.
Anomaly 2 FREE
Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI - Digital Deluxe 13.99£ "
I sat up for hours trying to get the game, got past setting up an account on GR but failed to get the game into my cart. I knew it was a mistake price and so did you's all. It was even 'suggested' in the thread title.
At worst yous have a free game and a discount code...which was better compensation than I got sitting up to 5am lol !
30 minutes well spent. Thanks for the heads up.
Edit: Just confirming this as working. Got the key 2 minutes after paying via VISA. Didn't want to risk paypal in case they wanted ID or some other crap.
Very happy I did not go through with buying this on release.

I dare say you need one but I'm going to decline the offer...
Well that didn't pay me, this does
Sales periods are prone for price errors and yes the company is at fault for it but it's probably not all down to Games Republic for the revoke decision, as I said it's likely down to 2K games.
Either there was a contract or there was not.
1. There was a contract.
If there were a contract, the contract would be governed by its terms, in accordance with local law (in this case, which is dictated by European Directives). The terms do not allow either party to withdraw from the contract.
So I presume they're relying upon...
2. There was never a contract.
If they're saying there was never a contract, they'll need to say why. Because it sure looks like there was one... They advertised a game at 80% off during Black Friday, while they were selling other games at up to 90% off; they took our money; they thanked us for our order; they issued us with keys; etc.
Now, one can still argue that there was no contract in some circumstances. For example, where it was always obvious to all parties that it was a mistake.
Was it always obvious that £13.99 was a mistake? Are they sure the courts would agree with them on that? £0.01, perhaps, but 80% off, on the biggest sale day of the year? I wouldn't be so sure.
And make sure you leave some feedback over at trustpilot so you can let others know of your experience: uk.trustpilot.com/rev…com

Numerous people on reddit have gotten keys and confirmed it's Civ VI Deluxe Edition
(edited)
Oh sh*t is that the time?
Well it was an exciting few hours. Thanks Buzz
This does remind me of £1 pint night when I was at uni. Cheap but you'd spend whole night queuing to buy your next beer/vk, getting increasingly frustrated as people cut in front, or bar man walked past, and you'd get relief if you nudged forward a little

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
I understand where you're coming from but in this case I don't agree. I know we spent hours to get this price but that's a clear indication it was a misprice, we all knew it was. They don't really have a choice but to pull it or face heavy losses. It sucks that we all wasted our time though
As an FYI, probably more people than that bought keys since it was also all over reddit and Neogaf, plus it was tweeted by some sites. Also, the official online game sellers(ie the ones that aren't just getting keys from cheaper region retail copies like cdkeys) generally have about 30%ish margin, so they're losing more than just £5 each. There's a reason GMG codes never went above 30% and most of them were 20-25%.
I never saw it being honoured just because I don't think they're a big enough company to eat the loss. Frankly the loss could sent them out of business far faster than any perceived loss of sales because of people holding a grudge.
Though if I'm being honest, I think you overestimate how many people would just not buy from them because they decided to not honour a significant price mistake. If they do a good deal on another game which isn't a price mistake, I'm sure people wouldn't bat an eyelash at using them again. Hell, even if there was another price mistake I'm sure most people would gamble all over again. That's just the life of a hukd dweller. :P

And it shows "transaction in progress". I have been waiting over 20 minutes and it still says the same thing. Haven't been charged on paypal nor did i get any email. Ridiculous...
