A bit late in here, but CIG needs to decide ASAP. Every day they delay on this they are opening themselves to more legal liability, although the idea about anyone suing CIG over this is LOL.
CIG is allowed to refund any purchase at will for any reason. Key word: refund.
AFAIK they have not refunded any of these "oopsie" CCUs. They have also not allowed them to be applied or melted for credit.
According to the TOS signed by the buyer and written by CIG, the buyer has reasonable expectation to use their digital goods and services. This has not happened since they cannot use their digital goods which they purchased above ground through the CIG/RSI owned and maintained digital store.
CIG has not refunded the order, nor allowed the order to go through. In effect, the buyers money is being held hostage in limbo while they deliberate amongst themselves.
An IRL equivalent would be me ordering a GPU from Newegg at a price that is clearly a mistake. In normal cases, Newegg will quickly alert you and refund your transaction, or eat the loss and fulfill it. In this hypothetical case, Newegg would tell me my order is on hold and that I cannot cancel it, nor will they fulfill it until they decide whether they want to or not. That's not how a business works.

At the risk of double posting: I think a fair solution to the "endless Idris-M/Javelin CCUs" would be to let everyone who bought one keep one. If you bought some for "org mates" then tough titties, if you bought some for the Grey Market then especially tough titties.
CIG goofed by putting it up in the store, but they did have it up in the store available for purchase. If the Idris-M was that game breaking, then people like @Karab shouldn't have one :kissing_heart:

Well my first thought was congratzzz do the dude. Then I heard they snatch it back "NOT confirmed that they did"..but..!?
I can go for they ask him to get some thing in return from giving it up, but if they just remove it oh! boy that is going to far.
They made a mistake then they should get over it, learn from mistake and move on IMO.
And let the guy be happy :smile:
CHEERS!! :beer::beer::beers:

Honestly, CIG should just refund the folks money to their Paypal or credit card or however they paid for it and not as store credit. While this is a pain I'm sure, it makes sense legally speaking. Also, CIG never intended for that to be on their page and as long as they refund the accounts, they are not obligated to honor the CCU's. I get that people really wanted an Idris-M but they don't have a right to an Idris-M. Its mere a "good" that was supposed to be "out of stock."
Case closed and I need a beer... (Am not a lawyer or peace officer unless I drink copious amounts of alcohol. Unless this is who I typically see when I drink copious amounts of alcohol...)

It's Schroedingers Idris!
If we don't know, he both does and doesn't have it.
