I'm so confused, this seems like a string of really weird decisions
Op get a refund and save like 20-30 bucks buying the game from elsewhere with better quality control.
Edit: To make it perfectly clear since people can't differentiate, I ain't blaming OP at all. Gs is a shitty company who I wouldn't trust to provide free air. OP needs to get a refund and buy elsewhere from a company that will treat him better. My questions are just me personally being curious about what lead to picking gs in the first place given their reputation. It's not victim blaming and I dislike that I even have to make this disclaimer instead of being able to trust people to understand nuance
I ain't victim blaming, I'm not saying it is ops fault for what happened. I even made that clear with my last sentence that OP needs to get a refund and buy it elsewhere cause gs is a shitty company that's also charging more for a new older game than other places. I honestly was just more personally curious of what lead OP to trusting gs in the first place in the manner they did. Not to blame but genuinely just wondering why from a personal standpoint.
Also gs is selling the game used for about half the cost of new so they essentially scammed him out of 30 bucks. Even when they get a refund OP shouldn't trust gs with any of that money
Asking "Why would you do X?" implies heavily that had they not done X, the situation wouldn't have happened. It is victim blaming.
Well you don't need to imply my comments because I made it very clear Im not blaming... If someone bought cough syrup online from a shady dealer for the same price or more than getting it online from a reputable dealer. I wouldn't blame the person at all if the cough syrup came pre-opened. They paid for something and got bait and switched. But I am personally curious as to why they bought from them because it is different than what I would do. Again not to blame but more out of curiosity.
Victim blaming would be me saying it's their fault for buying from them and that they deserve it. Neither of which I advocate or condone at all
