Seems like you may be SOL. Sorry about your damn luck.
Not QUITE true, but true enough. Humble sometimes has GOG codes.



I can undersrtand the temptation to buy stolen goods but it is not worth it and all the money you paid went to the criminals, and the shop, GOG in this case, only has expenses from this while CDPR gets nothing at all.

The problem with G2A is that a bunch of the keys are purchased illegally. So your purchase is legitimate, but you might have ended up buying a code that was obtained illegitimately and then offered for sale on G2A's site. Once the defrauded cardholder gets things straightened out, that purchase with the stolen card gets revoked and that info ends up being forwarded to gOg through some means. At that point gOg don't really have a choice but to revoke the key and remove the game from your library. Unless it has changed recently, it doesn't seem that gOg or G2A inform the customer that the key was revoked, or why.

Not sure how you go about getting a refund from G2A, but I would start there. Might end up that you'll have to work through your own card company, but I'd look into it from the G2A side first since they sold the key to you.

I *~think~* it's also advised to avoid Kingwin for the same reason, but someone will chime in if I got that wrong.

Good luck getting it resolved, and it's best to purchase the games directly from gOg.

Why should users or key resellers foot the bill for thefts. It encourages crime and makes card users complacent.

SJW is the wrong word here. Anti consumer is the correct one.

They shouldn't but obviously G2A isn't going to pony up and foot the bill even though it's their own stupidity complete lack of fraud prevention that allows it to happen.


Like we've been saying, best to avoid G2A.

Um.... Good luck with support, but chances are that key that you bought from that shady 3rd party site? Yeaaaah.... It's probably a stolen key that got revoked when the credit card holder whose card got stolen, reported the fraudulent purchase.

Did you also pay for the G2A shield ? If yes , you should contact with their support and ask for a full refund .

If you didn't buy the game from GOG, then it won't be in your GOG account.
You'll have to contact G2A for a refund.

Sorry for the SJW comment. I have launched a ticket with GOG and will repurchase the game from GOG if that's whats required. Thank you all for the help and have fun with your gaming.

They aren't protecting the consumer and they aren't stolen goods. It encourages fraud and poor security.

The game is not stolen. It is property purchased through the use of fraud. It is like a conman taking money then buying an item then selling that item. The conman is the criminal and if police action is to be taken then it is against them.
This is the same as someone using a stolen card to buy a game code then selling it. The games publishers selling the key revoke it because they can not because it's right or depending on your area,lawful.

Businesses don't like customers benefiting from globalisation so they may misuse this system.

A person selling stolen items is different and if items are to be reclaimed then it is through the police and courts.
