Hi,
first of all, hi to all of you as I am new here ^^
second, please excuse my bad english, I am not a native speaker but I try hard (I hope)
I just wanted to share my experience with g2play with you (and maybe understand how they think).
The first game I bought from them was L4D2 Uncut (maybe 2 months ago).
I payed with paypal and natural they asked for my ID (witch I gave them, there is no over information on it besides my name and birth date, I thought they needed it for age verification as this is quite common in my home country) and within minuets I had my L4D2 key.
After that I also bought a Orange Box, Crysis and L4D1. The only problem I had up to that points was with L4D1 as the new Steam Beta was already in place and I could not add the key. But they told me they could do this for me if I could give them my steam name and password (that I did after some precautions so that they could not steal my steam account). They added the key and I changed my password back to my usual own, checked that noting was altered and was quite happy that everything had worked so well.
Until I tried to buy Crysis Warhead.
I noramlly added it to my cart and payed as usual with paypal.
I got the normal emails but instead of an cd key I got a notice that my order had been declined.
Right after that my money was transferred back to paypal (by them, not me).
Up to that point I just thought that they had been run out of keys and so couldn't give me one.
So I tried to login to my account to see if my G2Play points which I had used were also back there.
But my account was disabled. A little concerned I wrote a email to the admin.
I was told that my account was disabled due to security risks and that I have to provide TWO additional official documents to have it back. No explanation that this security risks there, just nothing.
As you can guess, right now I am quite pissed of because of them (mostly because I do not get why they do this, they already have my ID and I do not even have a second official document, I am not getting a passport just for them and I am not going to search for my birth certificate just for that bunch of idiots). In my eyes their behavior is just nonsense.
In the future I will not buy anything from that guys anymore and I hope you thing twice as well.
They just do what they want demanding what they want giving what they want.
I really like to read your opinions on to this situation and possible explanations.
Have a nice evening
