    Blizzard Gives Australian Gamers Free Diablo III

    The title is, I admit, a bit misleading but stick with me here. Earlier today it was revealed that GAME Australia was going under administration. As a result and as permitted by Australian law, the company is refusing to provide copies of the game to those who pre-ordered. They are also refusing to give back the money for those pre-orders.

    Blizzard saves the day by offering to reimburse gamers who were screwed over by this move from GAME. Here is what those gamers need to do in order to get the game they paid for.

    We're aware that some Australian GAME customers have been left out in the cold on what should be the hottest night of the year -- the launch of Diablo III. To help with this situation and get these players into the game as soon as possible, we've put the following process in place.

    Australian GAME customers with a valid preorder/prepurchase receipt dated before May 15, 2012 can do the following:
    1. Purchase the digital version of Diablo III from http://www.diablo3.com now or anytime before May 21, 2012.

    2. Download and start playing when the servers go live!

    3. Submit your GAME Australia preorder/prepurchase receipt to us before June 30, 2012.

    4. Receive a credit from Blizzard, for the amount you paid in advance to GAME Australia for Diablo III. This credit will be applied to the payment method used for the digital purchase.
    We'll post further details here on how to submit your GAME Australia receipt to our customer service team as soon as possible. Stay tuned, and we look forward to seeing you in the Burning Hells!


    That's one hell of a nice move on the part of Blizzard!

        Huh, I figured everyone with any sense would have already been fired by Activision long ago. That's a pretty good move.
