    Hello everyone. This is my first time posting on this forum, but I lurked here quite a bit when I was researching my most recent laptop purchase. Ended up going with an MSI GE73 RGB-012 and I am quite pleased with it. Purchased through XOTIC PC and the whole experience was fantastic, but Intel is refusing to fulfill the Vermintide II promotion, stating that they are out of codes.

    Has anyone experienced a similar situation with the Intel Starter Pack? It seemed very strange and almost a bait and switch for Intel to offer a promotion and then refuse to fulfill it.

    I have reached out to XOTIC PC and they are looking into it (Intel has been less than helpful), but I have gotten the sense that there are many other users dealing with this non-fulfillment issue and I thought I would ask here if anyone has found a solution since users on this forum are quite knowledgeable.

    P.S. Sorry if this is the wrong subforum, I looked around and it seemed like the most appropriate.

    That sounds like a big mess-up on Intel's part if they indeed ran out of codes. At the same time, the game is $30 on Steam, and you have to ask yourself how much time and anxiety it's worth trying to get it for free.
