Got banned from G2A after requesting a chargeback for getting scammed on a preorder, will wear this as a badge of honour

Preordered the Premium edition of FH6 from G2A, turns out I received the key over 10 hours after the midnight launch, meaning that I would miss out on early access and preload. Had multiple conversations with both G2A and the seller and both parties were telling me to go to each other for a refund.

Eventually I then went back to the seller to ask for a refund yet again. They then turned me away once again and said “the order is complete” even though I hadn’t used the key or revealed it.

Meanwhile, I bought a key from Loaded and it arrived instantly, managed to preload the game and squeeze in a few hours of playtime before work later on in the afternoon.

I then filed a chargeback against G2A for not getting an item as described and wasn’t fit for purpose, got my refund and an email saying I’d been blocked, it made me smile in all honesty. I’ve used G2A and other key sites since I started PC gaming back in 2018, and have never had an issue, but I’ve mainly bought delisted content, never brand new games.

Don’t buy from G2A, and if you do, use a credit/debit card lol.

I couldn’t use this on my plate in FH6, I thought the number 8 was a symbol of prosperity in Japan

I am now being called a Nazi in the Forza Horizon subreddit for saying banning the number ‘88’ is a stupid idea.

Forza Horizon 6 currently has 160,000 active players according to SteamDB

This also means that 160,000 people (at least on Steam) have spent $109.99/€109.99 on the Premium Edition for early access. This number supposedly doesn’t include people playing on Microsoft Store/Xbox either.

Reviews aren’t looking too good.

G2A won’t issue a refund for a preorder that I still haven’t received a key to, with no guarantee of it even landing on release day

Made the mistake of buying Forza Horizon 6 Premium from G2A. I’ve used these guys with no issues in the past when I played mostly on PC but that was years ago. This is a preorder item yet I haven’t received any key, which stops me from preloading the game. I’ve messaged the seller, seller told me to contact G2A, G2A then told me they can’t do anything about it. Now they’re dodging my refund request.

I’ve learned my lesson lmao. What do I do now? I may as well just buy the game on Loaded or the Microsoft store.

No one bought the collectors edition for TDUSC lmao

Almost 2 years since release, half price and still in stock lol

Genuinely curious to hear your thoughts. I personally haven’t picked it up yet as it just doesn’t interest me versus what I normally play. For example Wipeout and Ridge Racer are great games from what I’ve heard, but I don’t like anything too arcade-y.

Hi everyone, just wanted to highlight how rare this trophy is and potentially motivate whoever sees this to try and achieve this for themselves before the servers inevitably shutdown.

According to PSNProfiles, there are 950 users who have the “Gold Plated” trophy which requires you to complete all 41 prestige mode events with a gold medal. And according to Sony’s data, NFS2015 had sold 9.7 million copies.

Which means that for every 10,000 players on PS4/PS5, only 1 person will have achieved the Gold Plated trophy/gold in all prestige mode events.

I’ve seen divided opinions on the difficulty so hopefully this puts things into perspective. Does anyone know any trophies that may be harder than this?
