Dawn of War II - CD Key

[Xen]

Just bought a second hand version of Dawn of War 2 on DVD from Computer Exchange. When inserting the CD Key, Steam reports the CD Key is already in use. What can I do as it is impossible for me to know who sold the game to Computer Exchange. Please help.

Get your money back, keys can only be used once. You bought a useless game copy.

Basically there is no second-hand PC market, so don't waste your time looking for second-hand PC games.

Sadly - This is true! Anything related to Steam is WORTHLESS! I have the same issue...

Previously, My son donated me a copy of PORTAL... Was really looking forward to playing that - But as it uses STEAM for Multiplayer - The CD Key already being registered means I have a Useless game!

Here is the IRONY given that STEAM insist on this for Copy Protection... I contacted STEAM and asked them if there was a work around... And they actually told me TO DOWNLOAD A CRACK FROM GAME COPY WORLD!!!!

So in efforts to STOP PIRACY, STEAM PROMOTES PIRACY!!!

I honestly wish this was a joke!!! Personally, I feel if you can PROVE you have a Genuine Copy of a game - Second hand or otherwise - that has already had its key registered to another Steam Account... The Key should be REMOVED from the Account it was previously registered to!

At least I bought my copy of DoWII form a Charity Store so I lost hardly anything - But CeX KNOW BETTER!!! And YES - TAKE NO EXCUSES - THEY OWE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK!

Keys are one use items. Steam owes you nothing, you don’t buy keys from steam.

But the key *IS* the licence ... and it's been registered to another account.

Damn ... ninja'd

Is Computer Exchange owned by Steam, or is fanboyitis kicking in really hard, because reading the last line of the post you quoted, it clearly states CeX, which I didn't translate to "Steam", or "Valve", but to (C)omputer (eX)change.

Calling ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on this, outright. No one from Steam Support told you this. Ever.

Sorry, but that is pure BS, you should stop spreading lies and misinformations.
