Early access key removed

[Setsu]

I purchased an Early Access key, and after playing it many hours, when i was going to log again in game it says that i dont have any early access key and that i have to purchase one. I writed support and im still waiting an answer.

where did you buy your key from?

[Lieutenant Dan]

did you buy on steam?

[Desync]

If you didn't buy your key from steam or their official website, then you got bamboozled and will never be allowed to purchase POE 2 again unless you go thru some hoops.

If you did buy it from steam or Tencents website, then you'll have to wait 3 weeks - a few months for support to contact you back.

well, Sh..... It was an issue that started happening about 2/3 weeks ago, where people who bought keys from unofficial sites where revoked access... hope you bought yours the "right" way.

[soundsdreams]

ask a refund if it's 3rd party site, they're generally fast

I bought an Early Access Supporter Pack (DLC) from Eneba redeemed here on Steam and I can't access the game, contacted both GGG and Eneba, oh well there goes my weekend with no POE2, this is so disappointing, I just want to play.

All of those third party websites was selling fake keys, you got scammed and Tencent won't help if you didn't buy it form their official site pathofexile.com or steam.

The only thing you can do now is do a chargeback on your card from the scam site, then report it to the BBB and tell them they stole your identity also to help get them shut down faster.

Eneba is not Aproved for POE2 keys.

It's not a fake key as I redeemed it and can launch the game I just don't have the approval to play the game

Tried to save yourself some money now you need to spend more 🤷‍♂️ hope you've learnt a lesson

In theory Eneba keys are legal, i never had a problem with it, the thing of stolen keys was with other websites less known, but eneba is popular and all. I writed them to see what they can do. Anyway if they dont want to purchase it from external sites, why they have the option both Steam and PoE website of redeem codes then?

TO redeem keys from official sites. Not hard to understand.

I have never heard of Eneba and the reviews of the site gives a lot of warnings. Some key words are hacked accounts, used keys, compromised identity.

It would be safe to say your key was compromised.

How should you know? Because you're not allowed to use third party keys on ANY game lmao, that's common sense.

You deserve this.

I'm not allowed to?Not all third-party keys are banned—only unauthorized ones.You know nothing, just look how of a failure the EA system is, not my fault.

in theory.. no key seller marketplace is legal for games in the last 10 years or so.

buying digital games is not like buying physical games.. digital games these days say you are buying a license, not a forever copy.

this is why all key sites are referred to as 'grey sites'.. they operate in the light as a black market. and 90% of them are backed by credit card fraud with people buyin keys with stolen data, and selling cheap keys to launder the money.

if you are reselling a physical game copy with a physical key, its less questionable about whether it was stolen or not.

there is a reason legitamate stores, like humblebundle etc, didnt no offer poe2 keys - cause they could not access them.

your rule of thumb should be.. if the proper stores are not offering the game, but the 'marketplaces' for reselling are, its a scam.. dont waste your money buying it.. pay the extra $5 and get a proper key from the right source.
