Question about free GameSpot Total Access.

#1 Posted by MrPilkington (627 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago

The faq that was given a few weeks ago, said that Giant Bomb premium subscribers would be given a free GameSpot Total Access subscription on April 15. It didn't say (or that I remember) how that would be dealt out. Is it going to be an email code, that will be sent to me soon or do I have to opt into it?

Send the staff an email.

As far as I remember it was going to be some kind of email coupon?

I believe it will be an email code. Pretty sure that's what they said in that redesign stream the other day.

You mean that simple, straight forward question that was asked? The given date came and he hadn't heard anything so he asked for clarification. What's the big deal?

Woah, we get free shit? Awesome!

@louiedog: The 15th was yesterday, it was also a Sunday, and it's before business hours in their time zone.

Chill out people.

My email address that I use for Giant Bomb has been banned for no reason. Can I change it anywhere?

You keep using these words that I'm not sure you understand the meaning of, or at least not when to use them.

What do you get with Total Access?

I think we have to wait for an archive, because the account they use for sub content is private.

Whatever happened to those emails? I've never been a GameSpot user, but today I was looking around for some PDF game guides and came across GameSpot's. Unfortunately they're locked behind the subscription, but then I remembered hearing about Giant Bomb subscribers receiving free GS Total Access.

Did people ever receive emails or PMs with subscription codes, or did I just overlook mine and delete it, and if so, is there any way to get another?

#22 Posted by alternate (2381 posts) - 4 months, 8 days ago

I got mine, saw lots of people giving theirs away too - never used it for anything, they might be able to help you but it was last march

@mlarrabee: I got, and they were only for the rest of 2012 so i doubt you are getting one for 2013.

#24 Posted by mlarrabee (1759 posts) - 4 months, 8 days ago

@Erik: Oh, I see; I was under the impression they were a full year. Thanks for the info!

#25 Posted by RazielCuts (1720 posts) - 4 months, 8 days ago

@mlarrabee: I was under that impression too, oh well the only time I've been to Gamespot in the past year anyway was to activate it. When I signed in just now though I got a link to this http://uk.gamespot.com/features/gamespots-paid-subscription-service-is-ending-faq-6402038/ so I guess it doesn't matter anyway?

Also, just a quick read -

Your complimentary Total Access account status is good for the period of one year following the date it was activated, and will remain in effect until it expires.
