Telltale Games

stfudonny · 09/15/2008, 12:36 pm

I've received an email from Telltale (as have many of you have too I imagine) that ep 2 is free but I am unable to activate it using my telltale account, and I cannot get an activation serial for it.

something wrong on my end? I don't see similar threads over here.

I think it was just telling you the episode was available and not free.

Edit: Nevermind Scott beat me to it.

"Strong Badia the Free" is the title of the game... it's not a free game.

Of course, there is a free demo you can play.

======================

well unless this is some marketing scam, ive never subscribed to strong bad. ive never even heard of it!

i think you need to have a look at mailotron@telltalegames.com and see if its actually functioning or needs a spanner smacked about it a bit.

Boo.

There was supposed to be one email for season subscribers and a separate email for people who are signed up for updates from Telltale, but it looks like the emails may have gotten mixed up.

Definitely not a scam! Just human error.

Coops · 09/15/2008, 02:13 pm

Emily · 09/15/2008, 03:18 pm

You're all special. Just not that special.

(Also we're sorry for the mix-up.

And the free demo asks for a serial number on startup, which presumably, one has to pay for, since none is provided with said free demo.

Click on "No thanks, take me to the demo"

That doesn't appear on the startup screen, only a box to enter a serial number and a "submit query" button. Here's a screenshot:

You get that when you either have IE uninstalled or javascript is turned off.

Yeah, if you're getting the 'emergency wrapper' (the super ugly bare bones one) it means that either JavaScript is disabled or is being blocked by third party software (usually overzealous antivirus or security software).
