I got a discount couple - the first one in years - and it lowered the price a bit but now it won't allow the purchase after 5 rejections I gave up. I understand Slitherine is forcing people to buy directly on Steam instead of here on their site to allow Steam to control all game sales, but why not be honest about it and just shut down this website instead of blocking people insidiously in order to drive away loyal customers by pissing us off?

I don't want to select chimneys and tractors each time I want to attempt - AND FAIL - buying a new game cause this stupid site can never understand that I am not a bot. Why so desperate to get rid of customers? Steam doesn't play these stupid tricks on people so they dominate game sales and have a monopoly which prevents people buying directly from developers.

Alright alright, I agree I won't buy any more slitherine games, but I really don't see the win for slitherine in this. It seems really stupid and a backstabby way to get rid of loyal customers.

Hi Tanaka,

The issue with the coupon getting invalidated is not something that it's in our side to fix.
We have already asked BlueSnap to fix it but they have never have been able to do it.

Kind Regards,

I tried each week or so and changed the items I tried to buy hoping slitherine would muddle through its bugs. Same stupid error every time. It even pestered me with the annoying bank needing a text # on my phone cause it assumes I am a criminal and of course the annoying capcom picture choosing drill all over again each time cause slitherine thinks I am criminal too.... and then the same annoying error after going through all that hassle. I think this website is too convoluted and buggy to use anymore despite being easy to use back in the days before I tried Steam. I should never have strayed from steam which is free from all these problems. I will have to do without the storm of arrows DLC and distant worlds will remain forever distant
