You probably won't be able to get it anyway, their SSO servers seem to be completely unable to handle the load, totally offline. It's wild how unprepared they are for this, every time.
NP.
And I'm not sure they were really "unprepared," or instead just thought that expanding the storefront's capacity just to handle a presumably very temporary surge wasn't worth the cost: most people probably will just wait and try again on encountering the logjam, as opposed to changing their minds about buying the game, so the lack of investment in capacity may not cost them any $$$ in the long run.

An ancient analog: My spouse worked checkout at a brick-and-mortar toy store during pre-XMas, and although the store did put on a little more staff, they didn't add any new registers. The lines were long, but most customers just put up with it.
