Blizzard Will Honour GAME’s Lost Diablo III Pre-Orders



In an incredible move, it looks as though Blizzard is going to give gamers affected by GAME’s administration woes the chance to play Diablo III on launch. If you purchase the game now, digitally, and provide Blizzard with a receipt, they will later directly refund players the money pre-paid to GAME.

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!

Well done to Blizzard for helping out fans in need.
