Everyone knows how popular this game has been on OzB in the past, and now IGN is offering it free to 57 countries as their game of the month. Note you may have to be patient as obviously the servers are being hammered and you may get loading in the promo code field for a while, but should hopefully come good soon. Enjoy :)

Here's more details

Update from IGN: Hey everyone! While our engineers work on getting everything back to normal, we've temporarily disabled the promotion page, which means you may see a message staying the promotion has ended. Don't worry, we're not out of codes, and once we can confirm that a fix has been issued, we'll re-activate the promotion for y'all. Again, sorry for the trouble! We're working as fast as we can to get this resolved.

    It's strange has this game has a cult following. I tried it when it first came out and got bored with it after 15 minutes. Gonna download it again to see if it's changed.

      I'm keen to try it out but I fear this is more marketing than substance. They promoted it quite heavily on reddit.

    • joeflacco on 11/08/2015 - 14:13

      It's just reddit and other garbage liberal random zany quirky meme websites that shill it for free.

    • Kozhutki on 11/08/2015 - 14:17
      +1

      Yeah. I'm still a bit of a downer with this game, I've always felt it's an insult to the industry to produce this crap, much like "I Am Bread". I realise I'm probably just being cynical.

      • crainger on 12/08/2015 - 10:59
        +1

        The IP actually started as a joke. It wasn't developed until people started requesting it. Then it sold like crazy. Games like Goat Sim and I am Bread are more a parody of the "real" simulators like Farm Mechanic Simulator, that are pumped out of Europe once a year.

        There is a actually a lot of depth to the game. The devs left it up to the player to discover it on their own. So unless you take the time and look, you'll probably just pass on it.

        I myself have passed on it as I have a huge pile of shame, but I've seen other people playing it and some of the "story" looks quite interesting so maybe I'll come back to it.

        • Kozhutki on 12/08/2015 - 16:19

          Yeah, they've definitely made it into a solid game with the MMO and zombie? Update. Good for them and I'm glad it didn't spawn a huge new influence of meme low budget games much like the zombie/survival genre.

  • stonemonkey on 11/08/2015 - 09:10
    +6

    From their website: Hey! This month's promo is being hit pretty hard and it looks like the code redemption page is having a few problems. We have TOP MEN looking into it.

    In the meantime, don't worry about nabbing a copy right this second - although we don't have an unlimited number of codes, we do have a very very large number of them - we won't run out today. So please check back in a little while, when we should have everything straightened out.

    Sorry for the trouble!

    • tightarse on 11/08/2015 - 09:12

      Thanks stonemonkey. Do you have a link for this so I can add it to the post? Couldn't find it on the site. Many thanks :)

  • poedgirl on 11/08/2015 - 14:24

    I assume this is over now because the function to get the code simply returns this:

    {"errorMessage":null}

    • forumninja on 11/08/2015 - 15:10

      It's been like that since TA posted the deal this morning. I reckon they just haven't fixed the problem yet.

  • spiderdash on 11/08/2015 - 17:48
    +3

    suggest this deal should have some status like 'pending' , sorry to say but it is just wasting everyone's time, a pending status would save the crowd from keep coming back and checking if it is ''now' working or not.

    • tightarse on 13/08/2015 - 10:27

      Now working.

      • spiderdash on 13/08/2015 - 10:35

        Thanks . Neg revoked.
        And now I suggest this deal (removed and) republished as it has gone down on page 2. :)

        • tightarse on 13/08/2015 - 10:37

          I doubt the mods will allow that, and it's fine as it is anyway. Thanks.

  • veritas_mendax on 11/08/2015 - 18:05

    Don't kid yourself, this game isn't worth a couple of bucks. Within a few minutes you'll be doesing off as it's pretty boring.

    However since it's free you may as well give it a go.

    • guidedlight on 11/08/2015 - 18:52

      It's a novelty game, everyone needs one of those.

      It's a bit like that Bear Driving Simulator game a few years ago. It was awesome simply because it was a Bear Driving Simulator!

    • P.Sherman on 11/08/2015 - 19:04

    Didn't know IGN did scams, are you really telling me this stupid game is that popular. I think it's a Micheal Jackson, no real fans just publicity stunts like this to give the impression.
