Poor nintendo, how will they ever recover

It's not about "poor Nintendo," it's about the fact that those people bought up all of the available keys and are now reselling them to the other 99%ers here on Resetera for a gigantic markup.

I'm not particularly bent out of shape about it -- it is what it is, and there's no stopping it. But it's really unfortunate that a few people ordered dozens and are now reselling them to their fellow forumgoers here for as much as they paid for the entire lot of keys they bought.

Wonder how many of the same users now selling it for a 1000% mark up will throw anger when next gen games go up by 10% ha

I don't have a PayPal, but would anybody be willing to trade a Piranha Plant DLC code for Yoshi's Crafted World?

It's a long shot I know :(

Still waiting for What Remains Of Edith Finch. It is weird cause I got the Yoshi code right away.

Once you have downloaded the game from a different eshop region can I switch it back to my normal eshop and keep playing it?

Picked up Edith. Don't really know what it is.

Really wanted Yoshi, but oh well.

Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable with people buying loads of copies due to a pricing error and selling those copies for profit on the very same forum that directed them to this pricing error?

No... It stinks to be honest. Please don't buy them for more than a few dollars otherwise you're feeding the problem.

You aren't wrong....but consider this.

The deal isn't era exclusive - plenty of people online just went in hard. The fact that some era members got 10 codes actually makes it more likely for other ERA members to get the game through them

10 bucks for Yoshi is still cheap as fuck and a win no matter how you slice it. Getting it for for 1usd was always gonna be a luck thing lasting only a couple of minutes.

Again 10 bucks is nothing and the people selling it here for that price are actually selling it for less than they could charge on other places.

I honestly thought I was just going to be the first of many giveaways in this thread... hadn't even crossed my mid that most people would buy multiple to sell to others here. I mean, it's whatever... people are still getting a massive discount on the game, but yeah turning 10 into 100 off of someone else who posted this thread with assumably good intentions feels a bit icky.

Oh please. Just say you're fine with them making a huge profit on the back of other era users. No need to act like they're fucking Robin Hood for it lol.

Hey mate! I was in London before for 5 years, but I've been living in Tenerife for the past 4 years now :)

What's unbelievable is that I also met other fellow Canarians from Santa Cruz here on Era lol
Hahahaha thats great! Hope you are having a good time living here.
And as you probably know from your username we also love dash kappei here, though we could him chicho terremoto. If you say "3 puntos colega" to someone who watched it at the time they will laugh ;P

Too late, since I am at work. I never got Yoshi before so it would have been amazing. Well, after all it was an error of the website, so I cannot complain.

Turns out that I needed to use a VPN to register.
Oh well, I was able to buy Edith Finch with my paypal account. I have it on PC thanks to the EGS, but I'm not that much of a PC player.
Do you have to wait for another email for the code? Mine says that "usually arrives within 4 hours".

If anyone wants to spare or sell a copy of Yoshi on the cheap, that would be great. Did get Edith and that Melbits game for my girl and I. Can't wait to try those out and I hope she enjoys them as well.

I really don't care and was too late to get a code for myself.
People here acting as if only era members were using this deal are kidding themselves.

So if anyone wanna hook me up for free....I'm still here hah.

HOW do I buy this??? All I see is a "notify me when it's back" button. Did they nuke the deal?

I have a spare code which I bought for my friend but he has a hacked console lol. So anyone who wants can trade with a 10 dollar eshop code.
