I was just trying to claim it an hour ago… But then I noticed my account name kept changing to Stealth Ninja 500 or similar… Is this a hacker trying to jump in at the point of sale?!? I tried signing out, signed back in as me… Then it changed to same name again at the same point, just before I clicked purchase…!
Like, perhaps an automated bot that doesn’t realise the game is free anyway, or something…?

That possibly happened for the same reason it happened to steam a few years ago. Tom Scott explains it pretty well: https://youtu.be/dkSslseq9Y8
