What kind of garbage is this?
Your order has been received and queued for processing by customer service. You will receive an email within 1 business day, at which time you will be charged and your products delivered.
So I have to wait until Tuesday to download this game? WTF? Anyone else ever have this happen?

No. I specifically asked for "digital download" and the confirmation page even says so, multiple times:
US Shipping address: Digital Download (No items shipped)
Master of Orion II
Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares Remove
* No physical media will be sent for this download only item
$5.99
Master of Orion
The classic 4x game that started it all
* No physical media will be sent for this download only item
This is stoopid
ETA: I checked my account online and a $.01 authorization has hit it but not the full amount.

You couldn't have posted this somewhere BEFORE I bought it?
FWIW, I searched for Masters of Orion on Steam and came up empty.

Is it even possible to cancel once they hit my CC?
Jesus I had no idea they were this bad. You'd think they'd be at least marginally competent at sending out e-mails.

Just visited Impulse's forums. Impulse is the ironically-named company Game Stop has apparently partnered with to deliver digital content.
Anyway, lots of people seem to be bitching about this same problem.
Just purchased FFXIV... did not notice the 1 day wait fine print... complete bullcrap... where is my key!? DOES THIS MEAN I GOTTA WAIT TILL MONDAY TO RECIEVE MY KEY!?
I bought three games and no install or download window popped up after purchase. I would like a refund or somehow get the downloaded games to work.
So, I bought Dead Island about 30 minutes ago and it says I need to wait one business day? REALLY? I need to wait until Monday?!? I WANT TO PLAY THIS NOW. Also, where can I look at "My Games" tab? I can't find it? I WANT TO PLAY ASAP.
NEVER AGAIN!

I have used impulse in the past before they were partnered with gamestop and never had any problems. I can't speak to their service now. I never waited a day.

If you're looking for older games, ALWAYS check GOG.com first.
In fact, if you have a Facebook account, find them there and Like them. Whenever they get new games it'll update on your feed.

Never had anything like that happen, however... I would bet they hold up online orders for online delivery to check the order for fraud. It's to the point now in our own business that we assume an online order is fraudulent unless and until proven otherwise. All our online orders get looked over by humans before they're signed off on.
Of course in our business the orders are coming from spammers and bot herders who have stolen credit cards and want a server or VPS from us to run more bots from so we get hit by it more than retailers do, but I still wouldn't envy them.
All the above pertains only to Gamestop. I've used Impulse (I'm a Sins of a Solar Empire junky) and never had to wait to receive a digital download purchase, but then again I haven't purchased anything via impulse for well over a year+ now.

I don't buy digital games unless I can activate them on Steam.
