Problem with indian prime status

[suiiii]

So recently i bought indian prime status for 7$ on g(2)a .When i activated a key it said: Problem with connecting to csgo servers. Then i tryed to play with vpn and it worked, but when i try to play community servers i turn off my vpn so i can play normally, but then game freezes and exits to lobby with message: Problem with connecting to csgo servers. 2 days before a miracle happend, i was able to play csgo without vpn for 24hrs then f* update came out and i wasn't able to play it anymore without vpn. Have someone solved this bs*?

buying an account isnt a thing any of us can prove, i was just listing the possibility of getting old retail keys (or selling them i suppose, although buying keys off the internet is always sketchy, especially since retail copies can be sold in their original casing and everything...)

Well, see that’s the thing. It’s easier to speculate that the OP did in fact actually buy an account because merely gifting people something doesn’t give you redemption keys in the first place. He stated that he bought Prime Redemption Keys from that site, so it raises a red flag in logic.

But what about the possibilty that the old csgo keys count now as prime keys? csgo had some region locks afaik, so that would make sense in this case.

Buying CD Key =/= Buying Steam account

Bought on Steam, and gifted.
Did you ever bother to check out the site and see how they do it? Because I doubt it based on your comments here.

And as VH said. Key=/=account

If they did count, Valve would’ve announced it.

In order to have gotten Prime after Dangerzone Update, you would have had to purchased the game before the Dangerzone Update. The game cannot have been gifted to you before that time to be in prime.

Region locks are a problematic issue as a part of this. But only on the grounds of a separate subject.

Edit: Come to think of it, could be both. falling for a false advertising scheme is considered getting scammed, but the victim is also held liable unless personal harm comes to them from the product in question.

It’s too early for this...
I’m going to have to agree with Froggo.
There is no concrete evidence that the account was bought or the OP was scammed.

site is legit - i always buy games there - but you have to read, not all keys are for every region.
Thats why they are cheaper.

Op bought the wrong key, he knew it because he used a vpn to acitvate it. Steam doesnt like this, thats why the site is banned here. Steam wont help too because of that.

I wouldn't go to the length of calling the site legit. And there are more reasons as to why Steam have expunged the site.

Problem is that there are no such things as “Redemption Codes” for CSGO’s Prime Status. I have yet to have anyone show me they exist at all. You can only get Prime by purchasing it on Steam.

Redemption codes/Activation Codes/Activation Keys/Keys/Codes. Call it what you will, it's the same, just with a different name.
Yes you need to aquire it(at first) from Steam. Then those people can act like second hand sources, which is how a majority of the site works.

But speaking of showing of proof, where is the proof that OP bought the account?

But OP got the prime status? Just for the wrong region, which is labeled on that site

He bought the account...Show me a legit site or entity that actually sells Prime Status redeem keys.

there wont be any codes ever to explicitly redeem prime status


however: there exist codes that are able to redeem a csgo license equal to one made before the primeupdate, which would lead to getting a csgo prime account on your current account, as a precedence you can check what happens if you buy a retail copy of the orange box (at least here in germany still sold for 5 bucks) and look at your tf2 license on the new account, it will give you all the benefits of having paid for the game as if you paid for it before the f2p update even if your account is newer than that update so it wouldnt be out of question that a similar thing is possible with csgo retail keys (if there are still some unredeemed)

Obviously. But not if you're going through third party sites.

I only trust HumbleBundle with that sort of thing. It’s far less of a hassle to buy it off of steam though.

This is not a discussion about trust or not. Try to stick to the topic.
