At least it's nice to know who I CAN'T trust...

Alright, as most of you know I bought Half-Life 2 in late June. Well, new computer's all working now, so I decided to install it. Well, tried to install it.

This game had been bought brand new.

Someone had already used the CD-Key.

There was only one set of people who had access to it: The Arndale EB staff. That they had had the CDs out was obvious by the fact that each one had a large number written on the back in black indelible ink texta - which in some places had gone through to the CD. Unless by some slim chance a keygen has brought up the exact same key as mine, one of the staffmembers of EB has stolen my key for Half-Life 2.

The Ledi is NOT a happy gamer right now.

And EB has a no-return policy on Half-Life 2, so the Ledi is stuck with a game she paid for and cannot play.

The Ledi is fuming.

I would say go back to them and demand a refund. You bought a game that you can no use. I think that would classify as faulty and it is there fault.

EB is lovely for doing things like this. They get second hand games all the time and if they can get away with making it look new they'll put it back on the shelf as brand new.

With thousands (well, maybe only hundreds) of keygens, it is quite possible that the keygen hit yours...

Alternatively, EB may be complete bastards.

On the upside, you could get a keygen so you can play your legally purchased game...
