As you pointed out Miss Fish it might be a glitch, but just a matter of symantecs , IMO. Seems the squeaky wheel gets more grease when it makes noises, esp. around here. Just playing the same end game that seems to be the modus apparendi in these here parts.
"As soon as they can" ( as you've pointed out) on a weekend could also amount to a tremendous amount of revenue that would have been debited to Live Gamer versus credited to their customers. Whether it was intentionally done or a glitch, same end result for their bankroll, and that was my point.
