Funcom's Epic Fail
So the other night I decided to purchase the adventure game Dreamfall by FUNCOM as a digital download. They provide their own downloader, that's fine. But
- the downloader first requires you to install .NET 2.0 yourself
- the downloader prompts you to enter "the provided key" but the email receipt from FUNCOM didn't mention the word "key". It had something it called a "license number".
- I typed in the license number but the downloader came back "invalid coupon" (I'm thinking at this stage "is it a key, a number or a coupon" ?!?!)
- the receipt says to email marketing@funcom.com if there are any problems with digital downloads so I email that address
- I get back an autoresponse saying "If you have not submitted this via our web form at [link provided] then your mail may be removed by our spam filter. Please resubmit your request using this form."
- I click on said link and get a 404.
EPIC FAIL FUNCOM!

Go get this game instead:
http://www.playgreenhouse.com/featuredGame
$19.95 and that key works on all platforms (i.e. you can install it on your mac, your pc, and your linux box)
I have only played the Demo so far because I just don't have time. Hopping that will change soon.

Doug, except that once you have time for games, I have other stuff for you to do :-)
