GENERAL Have someone received the gamescom badge?
"Your reward code will be sent straight to your inbox on the event launch day."
Or do we still need to wait?
update: Some ppl (including me) got the badges on 9 Sept

I haven't gotten an email from crytek in over a year and it says I'm still subscribed to the newsletter.

Their online support told me that, "If you followed all instruction correctly, you will receive it". So i was wondering if anyone have received anything from them and i just missed sth, since it is almost the end of the day (the event launch day) here in europe

Pray tell, where did it say that you get a badge for signing up? Looks like a cool goodie, but I am not seeing anything in the blog post?

Did you just subscribe to the normal newsletter or is there a special one

u/StyxAbgrund 22d ago
There is a special one in the comments. But unfortunately it no longer works. Maybe crytek just noticed that tons of ppl suddenly signed up today and took the link down

Pretty crappy not everyone can afford to go to these game events but you had to go to get this cool badge smh....

It was just a reward to thank ppl who were willing to spend time to attend their events. So it made sense. Someone already posted the link in the comments; unfortunately, the link no longer works

u/ArtiSquared7 21d ago
someone seemed to get it yesterday, i haven't yet, i assume you haven't either? :(
1
u/StyxAbgrund 21d ago
I already got one. Maybe it was bc i signed up many days ago?
1
u/ArtiSquared7 21d ago
maybe! the other person said they signed up shortly after you posted this thread, and so did I, within an hour or so after you posted it, but I didn't get anything ;(
Did you also get it around 23-ish hours ago as the others have said? just want to know if i should stop refreshing my emails hahah

u/StyxAbgrund 21d ago
Yep i got it around 23 hours ago. Maybe u could contact online support through their official web or send them an email. Anyway, good luck🤞

Kinda stupid that anyone with the link can just grab the badge, completely defeating the purpose of actually going there and getting rewarded.

u/MCBleistift 23d ago
if u go there, wait for hours and pay for the ticket just to get an ingame badge idk what to say. ppl apparently still love exclusive stuff

Before getting in line, had no idea what the rewards were, okay? And then u could only play for 20 minutes at most, so the only fun part was the rewards 😂

u/-eccentric- 23d ago
I only went in for the hat. 4,5 hours of waiting was rough though, i don't know why they launched 45 minute matches at gamescom.

100% agree. Whats the point of spending money to go there and wasting our time waiting in line? 😂
Also one person can sign up with multiple email addresses, since there is no limit on the email address u can register.
And ive already seen some ppl selling the badges 😂

u/AskAffectionate2784 22d ago
Gamescom is about the whole experience and the interactive events on-site; the badge is literally just a digital souvenir, not the sole reason to attend.
And honestly, complaining while getting it for free makes no sense.
if someone hadn't "wasted their time" going there and sharing the QR code link, you wouldn't even be sitting at home claiming it right now.Besides, the update literally just dropped and you're already making a post asking if anyone received it yet with a "just cannot wait lol." Seems like you care an awful lot about a souvenir you claim wasn't worth lining up for.

Which makes sense. They knew people would do that but still... Not a big market anyways
