yeah this is the circle of ownership because the only way to get your account back at this point is social engineering, which is a serious topic about getting accounts hacked which different companies will handle seriously, as it requires a level of “trust me bro” on identity, If possible, id try to look for a CS that will take receipts of the game purchases to help further prove your identity.

First of all, I agree entirely. Now: Pounds, so you’re in the UK. Have a read about your options with the ombudsman service: …org.uk/…/how-to-use-an-ombudsman-in-england/

the Financial Ombudsman Service sorts out problems with banks, insurance, PPI, loans, mortgages, pensions and deals with other money and financial complaints - read our advice about getting your money back if you paid by card or PayPal

If nothing else you’re putting them on blast with the government, and that contributes to the paper trail for eventual action. In the meantime it might get your complaint resolved. Did you try tweeting at their official account too? Sometimes that can help get things moving.

Lyra_Lycan,

Thank you! I didn’t think an ombudsman would be at all helpful against a game company, I should reconsider aha. No Twitter account but that’s good advice!

meliante,

It’s not a game company. It’s a company period. It sold you something that you’re not able to use.

TWeaK,

Yes but the financial ombudsman regulates financial services.

thejoker954,

Through “no fault” of the company and years after the purchase.

Its not the companies fault he couldnt be assed to :

  1. Diversify his email addresses in the 1st place
  2. Update his email address.

When you put all your eggs in one basket, you’ve really got no one else to blame when you then decide to throw the basket away.

meliante,

Still paid them money and they’re not allowing him to use what he bought.

Wildmimic,

But they are also required to make sure noone else gets access to the account, and so it's OPs job to prove ownership of the account - which he can't, or else the situation would have been resolved after Rockstar supports questions.

meliante,

No. There are other ways to prove ownership. They’re just being stubborn and not flexible.

The OP was dumb, they’re being assholes.

TWeaK,

You’re right, this is more of an issue with your purchase not being complete. I think your legal remedies would either be through your card provider (probably too late) or civil action directly to Rockstar.

I advise you to try out GOG and itch.io as they sell games wbthout DRM

Lyra_Lycan,

Thanks, yes that’s good advice. I’ve got an account with GOG and use their launcher

Although l think it sacrifices achievement progress, you may consider Heroic Games Launcher instead, which is open-source.

Maybe I was lucky, but I had the same issue where I no longer had access to my old e-mail account and they sorted it out for me within a few hours (after a few e-mails back and forth).

It probably helped that I was able to provide them with a screenshot of the game in my Steam library as well as a list of all the games linked to my Rockstar account with dates of purchase. To find the dates of purchase on Steam I went to “account details” and “view purchase history”.

Lyra_Lycan,

Thanks - from what I can gather the support member is a roulette spin with each message - hopefully I can use your tips and increase my chances of success

Mother 3 is both the funniest, most charming game and also the most emotionally brutal story about loss, grief, and growing up with trauma. Never has a Gameboy advance game made me cry so much

Omori. Somber, sad, but goofy and joyful.

Other times terrifying, horrifying worse than a horror game.

I wept through the last five hours of this game, just straight up crying.

This game gave me everything from anxiety to existential dread, to laughs and moments that made my go aww.

This game spoke to me.

SereneSadie, do games w What games have mastered "Both emotional extremes"?

I dunno, I think GTA5’s true ending with the trio working together to close off each other’s loose ends is a pretty satisfying finale.

I agree with the assessment in regards to 4 though. To me, it always came off as ‘nothing gets better, even if we have to shoehorn in a reason for that because we didn’t actually make a different finale’.

littleomid, do games w What games have mastered "Both emotional extremes"?

The Dark Souls series imo.

rafoix, do games w Best Co-Op Games?

Lots of great options here already. I don’t see Larian’s Baldurs Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2 here.

The screen gets a bit cramped in co-op but it’s perfectly playable and loads of fun playing these masterpiece RPGs on a couch with a significant other or a friend.

thingsiplay, do gaming w why do many game run better with Proton than on native Linux builds? i know that it's a non-issue from the technical point of view, but it grinds my gears.

Also what do you mean as “runs better”? As in “better performance” or “better compatibility”? I’ll give you one answer for each question, but off course its not the only one. Other cases may have another explanation why the Proton version runs better. This is a complicated topic which cannot have a generalized answer for all games.

  • For performance: Developers focus on the Windows version and may not be very talented at Linux development or environments. So optimizing the Windows build by the devs will obviously make that version better. Plus optimizations and some trickery from Valve (and off course others) in Proton might also help, that is not affecting the Linux native build.
  • For compatibility: Proton does a better job at providing an environment that is the same each time the game is installed. Linux native changes too much and too often and differs a lot per distribution. At least that is what I think, not sure if that is even correct.
FrederikNJS, do games w What games have mastered "Both emotional extremes"?

Outer Wilds covered a lot of emotions for me. Wonder, excitement, sorrow, fear, relief, anger, frustration, calm, contemplativeness, despair, hope, terror, acceptance.

It’s my favorite game ever, and the less you know about it when you play it, the better.
