Warning for those wanting to get SH4

Capt_Morgan · 08-15-13, 12:35 AM

Being in New Zealand, Amazon doesn't like my money. Not about to go through the Steam Fiasco again.

I recently bought SH4 Standard Edition from what turned out to be a rip-off
namely www.gamesrocket.com. I got the game, installed alright and played a bit

Then I went back 2 days later to get the SH4 Expansion pack. They took my money for it then informed me that in order to process this second order (that they had already taken the money for) I had to.
--------------------
For security reasons, it is necessary that you send us an email to
verification@gamesrocket.com containing the following:
1. A legible scan or photo of your ID card of your passport
2. The completed verification form as photo or scan
3. A picture of you together with your ID card or passport (your face and ID must be visible next to each other on the photo).

Pictures taken with a mobile phone are acceptable in most cases.
As soon as we have received all necessary documents from you, your order will be processed.
---------------------

Excuse me? I have NEVER been asked to do this before (Can you say 'idenity theft').

Well, they now have my money and I have no expansion.

So I went out and bought ANOTHER expansion pack from www.softpedia.com (they happily took my money) Downloaded the files and installed it to my working SH4 V1.4. Ran the program and it asked for my serial number, I assume to SH4. "That serial number is not vaild, You have 2 tries left before the game is locked"

I went back to Softpedia thinking there might be a serial number for the expansion pack. None Found. "That program does not have a serial number I was told"

I contacted Gamesrocket about it they said you are only allowed 1 key if you use up the activation the software is disabled and you can never reinstall it.
What?? Is this UBISofts doing or theirs.

So I'm out the price of SH4 Standard and 2 expansion packs.
Charge backs will be issued..And authority's and Visa contacted.

Stay away from Gamesrocket and Softpedia if you want to protect your sanity , and your wallet

Well, now I have paid for SH4 Gold from Gamers Gate. Downloading it now.

The new Silent Hunter is getting very expensive.

Cheers
