    I bought tropico 4 off of Ebay a few weeks ago and been playing tropico 3. I have honestly waited 2 fucking full weeks for it to come in mail. I wait 2 hours to install it, make a full account, register it on my E-Mail... and it gives me this message in full big letters

    SORRY, YOUR PRODUCT KEY IS ALREADY BEEN ACTIVATED

    For Fucks sake Kalypso, dude get in the damn game. I am one of your biggest fans since tropico 3 first came out! You just take your big industrial dick in shove it in my face saying " YEAH YOU WAITED A MONTH JUST TO BUY THE GAME AND AFTER TAKING US 2 WEEKS WE GIVE YOU AN INVALID CODE! "

    Ugh, I mean fucking really? I checked about 7 times if I entered it in right and it was right. Then i read it again and I think Valve is messing with me

    Some of the couple digits: TRP4 = tropico 4 CD = CD... wtf?
    Before I send it back in the mail for a refund on monday can you guys give me a couple tips?

    It was ebay you fucktard. Some asshole ripped you off by selling you a game he already activated.

    Should have mentioned in there that it was that it was offically from ebay,

    Ebay has they're own account and sells you stuff. Dont need to be so harsh shaw... say any chance you will be attending the TF2 tournament tonight will you?

    Dude, don't use online stores.

    Go to an actual store, a legitimate one, and buy one off of them.
    Like GameStop/EBGames.
    I bought Tropico 3 for Xbox from them for 8 dollars.

    Part of the reason why I play on consoles is because of the lesser ammount of hassle I have with the games just to play for a little while.

    Amazon is pretty good, never had a problem with them. Other than that Gamersgate and Steam are the only online stores I have got anything from. Btw Gamestop is fucking terrible.

    I've liked them only for the really cheap games.

    found 7 awesome ones under 10 dollars that I constantly play even offline.

    Also, I couldn't find Tropico anywhere else, I'd been looking for so long, I was ecstatic when I saw El Presidente's goofy beard.

    Other than that, they're just a store, I preordered BF3 from there.

    What, are they gonna rip the "Back to Karkand" Pack from it?

    I agree, I went to my local gamestop asking to buy Fallout New Vegas: Here is how it turned out.

    * This is your sterotypical southern US person, he literally was breathing out his mouth half the time I was there*

    Me: Hey dude do you have fallout NV?
    Dude: uhhh we don't have that
    Me: I called 5 minutes ago and you said you did.
    Dude: uhh i dont think that was you
    Me: Does it matter? Look I can see about 10 copies behind you
    Dude: Those are for the Xbox360
    Me: I DIDNT EVEN TELL YOU WHAT FUCKING CONSOLE I WANTED IT FOR!

    They sound like douchebags, however, that is purely an American problem, I know both the girls that work at the counter each week at my local store, and they are both nice.

    Gamestop people are either some of the nicest in the world, or are the biggest douche bags in the fucking planet. But my ex works at my local Gamestop so it still fells very awkward.

    I always feel like a loser when I walk into a gamestop, it's always full of little kids and fat man-children with long hair.

    Is that the only reason? The Game is Tropico 3 w/ light modding.
