I'm unable to download the free report; I submit the form and get a Success message, but I never get the report emailed, or a download link. Are there any extra steps required?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! There shouldn't be any additional steps needed, so we're looking into it. Will keep you posted. - Beth

I just received three download links in a row! Seems there was some significant delay or backlog?

officialgdc.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes, there was an issue with a few email addresses. It's since been remedied. Let me know if there's anything else you need! - Beth
