Ignatia1821: What's really ruining it, quite honestly, is GOG's support refusal to help. Even if I can't have my game, I darn well don't want the scammer to have it! :s
How is GOG supposed to know for sure that this was a scam? Because one party of the trade says so? GOG has no way of knowing what happened during that trade. Even if you provide screenshots, there is no proof that you haven't received something in return through other means.
GOG is not responsible for you not doing your homework and taking risks you shouldn't have. Sorry if that sounds harsh. But trading of games is a grey area, it is not officially supported, and it comes with risks, _especially_ if you do i with total strangers. There are some very easy precautions that help mitigate the risks, but if you don't take those, don't expect third parties to stand in for your mistakes.
One of those precautions is "Don't go first in deals with strangers; if you do, always be aware that you may end up giving your stuff away for nothing in return. If you don't have the standing to ask the other party to go first, choose a middleman that you both trust. Otherwise, if you care about your stuff, simply
don't make that trade.
99% of scams could be prevented if people just made a proper risk assessment, and were able to say "No, I'd rather wait for a safer offer."
