WTH, Amzon just canceled my order for Daemon X Machina!
- Thread starter Flevance
- Start date
What's going on with Amazon and games lol? There's been a lot of issues recently with going out of stock and all kinds of things. Are they just moving away from it or something now that the prime bonuses are gone?

Could have something to do with it

Just checked my email and had the same thing......that sucks. Amazon US btw and I pre-ordered it when it first went up.
Ayup, I was searching Reset to see if anybody else was having that issue. I think I pre- ordered it with the 20% discount, maybe that has something to do with it?
Good to know that now best buy is the only place that will reliably get me retail games.
I dont understand this quarrel amazon keeps having with publishers.

Update: It was debunked. Metroid Prime 4, slated for December 31, 2019, is still up for pre-ordering on Amazon.

- Indeterminate.
- Exceeds 12 months (including date placeholders, like December 31, 2019).
- Other outside circumstances (such as backruptcy, game project cancellations, etc.).

If it were that you would see everything Switch related pulled from Amazon.
I think Smash and Pokémon are too big to pull. Mario Party is too close to release.
Simplygames, thegamecollection or Base are usually the cheapest.
Amazon just sent an email promoting Nintendo Switch and its new releases and accessories. What's going on?
Are the fighting or not?

It doesn't really make sense to just pull a single smaller 2019 title if there's issues between Nintendo and Amazon. That's not exactly a strong message.
I'm surprised you hung this long with Amazon, been nothing but a nuisance for me and my friend, never mind the other stories out there.
Simplygames and The Game Collection should do you nicely.
Same here (NA). Amazon really doesn't want me to save that whole $12. Let's see if this happens with my other preorders; like Metroid, Bayonetta 3, or Cyberpunk.
Edit: I emailed customer support about if I get the 20% still in the future. Oddly, the game doesn't even show as cancelled in my order history so I had to pick a different game to send a question. I hope that doesn't confuse them...

They want to strong arm publishers into providing them a bigger discount on stock, so they can maintain their aggressive pricing, but the bigger ones can obviously tell them to fuck off.

That cannot be the case, I've recently got Xenoblade 2 The Golden Country for $32 even though I canceled my prime membership.. and today they charged me for Mega Man 11 and they only took $24

Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3 and Yoshi are all set to December 31, 2019 and they're still in the order list, that's really strange smh
Amazon is absolute shit for video games these days. They've basically driven me to go back to Best Buy

Yeah. Theorycrafting is fun, but if someone provided existing evidence to disprove it, one must simply update said theory. That's my personal rule.
Try to complain at customer service chat, maybe they'll give you a discount code or sometgsom
It's really weird. Amazon sent me an email saying a lot of my other last minute Prime discount preorders had gotten upgraded to release day delivery and then sent the email about Daemon getting canceled.
But it's confusing why they would only pinpoint Daemon for getting canceled and not other games with no release date confirmed.

I'm kind of done with Amazon when it comes to video games at this point, for numerous reasons. Considering I've spent thousands on games from them in the past, that's saying something.
I chatted with me and they said it is out of stock. They said once it comes back in stock I can place another order at 20% off.
I just got the cancellation message as well. It is quite strange as the game has been removed for pre-order. It seems that the placeholder date for Amazon was moved to December 31, 2019. This may be the reason for the cancellations.
I lost my 20% off though, which is a huge bummer. I'll purchase from my game store locally.

Same here, I had to 10$ off too, I am guessing thats why they cancelled it
Great, Save the chat in any case
read above you
This message had not been posted when I was doing my research. Amazon's excuse for the item being out-of-stock is clearly not true as there is no stock for this game anywhere in the world as it is not released.
If Amazon cannot secure stock for pre-orders on a game with no estimated release date within the next 6 months, when they have concrete sales numbers to be shipped on a product that is not released, may indicate that there are bigger problems.
Yes,but try to chat with the customer service and insist to keep your discount for a future preorder
Mine got canned too. I have a feeling it might just become an eShop game at this point. That's my guess
There are lots of online alternatives, and they're often cheaper, at least for videogames.
In no particular order, i would check these retailers before even considering buying from amazon:
www.365games.co.uk
www.simplygames.com
www.base.com
www.thegamecollection.net
Shopto are occasionally worth a look too, but I hate the website design so I've not used it in quite a while.
Yeah, mine too.
Was gonna leave it there out of laziness had they kept it up, since it was one of the orders I put in to at least lock in the old prime discount before the deadline, but looks like Best Buy's getting my money instead now for this one since it's up there now too and I've still got my gcu a bit longer.
