And that has happened to you how often and with what games and companies ?
A few examples:
- EA Store - they are one of those 'limited download' things, and when Crysis Warhead came out I'd already uninstalled Crysis and since it was required, they wanted e to re-buy it to play the expansion, I had to manually go through customer service.
- Oh yeah, the same thing had with the BF2142 expansion ...
- I bought but didn't immediately download a game through Aspyr's GameAgent ... and never got the 'purchase confirmation' email, but had my PayPal email. Was able to get enough info from that to go through customer service for the download. They weren't budging without that proof ...
- Steam - I bought a pack including a game I already had, but rather than getting a 'gift' like I would with Orange Box I got nothing. This isn't an activation issue, but rather an issue of how they can cheat your purchases on digital downloads - I have 3 copies of Diablo because of various pack-in purchases, and while I only need one, if I paid for three I should *have* three!
Well, I think that Mike (txa1265) is a bit of a special case anyway since he's got like 357 computers and laptops (including 26 iMacs and 42 iBooks) and 259 handheld devices . If there is one person on this planet where it does not surprise me that he runs into issues with the activation limits then it's gotta be Mike.
Hehe ... and because what you say is true, perhaps I prove Roi Danton's point by not having MORE issues ...
