I'm not entirely sure why they'd lock out access to the beta until beta 3 to be honest (full price or 15% off).  That's apparently what they are doing though.  Now, are you being robbed or treated unfairly if they choose to lock you out for another couple weeks?  Probably not.  They set the official terms.  They didn't change them the second you bought the game.  I, too, got elemental with a discount code - but I did so way back in Jan.  Anyway, 2 quick things to keep in mind.  You get the game cheaper than many folks (+ for you).  You have to wait for beta 3 (2-7 weeks off) to play (- for you).  Their terms are their terms. If I tell you I can give you a $100 discount if you buy by X date and you show up a day late, I'm not obligated to give you that discount.  Anyway, the only real reason I can see to deny you access to beta 2 is to encourage you and others to adopt early.  All of this crap said, its a beta... its beta 2 and its only KINDA fun (eg nothing you are going to want to put hours and hours into).  It wouldn't hurt to send an email to sales or support @stardock.com and see if anyone is willing to hook you up though.

And yes, I could go through the process of canceling and reordering. But should I have to, if Stardock is such a great company?

Uh, yes you should. How in the world would they know what people want to spend their 15% on? They're just offering it off on everything, and people don't just buy Elemental from the store. Get off the high horse and re-order it if you want the 15% off it, stop complaining over something that's entirely in your power to do as if it isn't.

I remember when Impulse was just a little Urge.  Happy B-Day Impulse.

Okay, I see you're completely lost.  And since I live in the city and don't work for the mounted police, I don't have a horse.

Not at all, and unless they extended the coupon promotion, your complaining in this thread instead of just cancelling and re-ordering already cost you the 15% off. Congratulations

Boy do I want to, but without my group onboard, I just have to wait and see. I am liking what I am seeing so far though.
