I purchased the ** Game Grand Theft Auto V. It does not work. The software has glitches that make it unusable and does not load. I've tried on multiple computers, that all meet the software requirements. I don't want anyone else to have to deal with this, as it has taken me 8 or 10 hours of personal time troubleshooting the software. Rockstar Games hasn't responded to my requests for support.Business response

Rockstar sold me a product that doesnt work as advertised, and expects me to spend hours on the phone with them troubleshooting their mistakes.if you go to the store to buy a video game, and your computer meets the system requirementsthe game should work without the need to invest countless hours with the manufacturer troubleshooting their shotty products.
Sincerely,

My copy of a game made by Rockstar Games (Red Dead Redemption 2) was linked to an old college email that has been deleted. I contacted Rockstar Games support because my account with them was linked to this old email. Due to this problem, I could no longer play the game I had paid for. I sent customer support proof that the game was indeed mine including the literal receipt for the game sent to the email I was contacting them from. Despite this, Rockstar Games has refused to link this game to my current/working email. They offer no way around the self-created problem and now I have essentially paid for something they have arbitrarily revoked my access to. The support staff were evasive and unhelpful. Essentially, this company has stolen from me and I would like them to fix the situation now. I will never buy another product from these scammers again. Last time I checked, taking someone's money without providing anything for it was theft, no? The fact that they've intentionally dragged their feet in fixing such a simple request is just beyond belief and shows how valueless these scumbags are.Business response

On 8-12-24 I received an email my Account for the **** game had been suspended for 30days with no explanation as to why. I immediately fill out a support ticket explaining I hadn't even been on the game but 1 time in over a week and had never used any mod menus, cheats or glitches. I use this account for making ******* content so why would I risk that? I get the same scripted response back that they wont change anything. Even when its their mistake? I put over 970 hours in this game in less than a year for building and making video content. As a 100% disabled veteran it is 1 of the only ways I can make any extra income. Not to mention also a share holder in Take 2. So suspending me for 30 day and resetting my account to 0 is detrimental to someone in my position. I have opened multiple support tickets to get the same scripted response and ticket closed. 1 of them I got a response before they immediately closed the ticket, that my account for a game I have never owned or even played (RDO) violated the *** causing the suspension in ****. Which makes less than 0 sense.Ive tried every phone number I can find and either a recording telling me to open a support ticket online or person that cant/wont help me. The customer service, or lack there of is ridiculous for such a large game and company. How can they commit a theft such as this with no explanation? Its so they can make people who want to use their game have to spend real money to buy their shark cards for in game money, to get back to where they were before Rockstar took ti away from them. Its all a money hustle it seems. A quick ****** search shows they do this to MANY people Very often.Business response

Tried contacting Rockstar's support team due to my game (Red Dead Redemption 2) being linked to an old email that I have since then lost. Went quiet a bit of the day going back and forth with them giving them all the information needed to prove the account/game was mine and had gone through 4 different people responding to me. They kept asking the same questions and I kept answering them providing the correct information and after the 3rd time asking the same question they just give me "We have investigated, but have been unable to verify that this request is being made from the owner of the Rockstar Games account where the information was recently changed. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause." and then proceeded to close my support ticket. They also kept asking for any purchases I have made in game and clearly stated I haven't made any so I can't provide any evidence of it if there is none and they kept asking it over and over, along with asking me questions about another account for another game that had nothing to do with the game I was having issues with. Really want this resolved considering I can no longer get a refund due to Steam's refund policies (it's not Steam's fault it's just their policy).Business response

I had to re-purchase GTA V when I purchased a computer as GTA V makes you repurchase. Thus, I had to create a new character. I duplicated my new account to mimic my old account for the most part. I don't have some of the larger items, but I had all of the same cars. Rockstar is saying they don't see where my account had the items in possession on this character on this new account. This is not the first time this has happened. I have several very similar past communications with Rockstar when they indeed have given my items back, although not without me pulling their teeth out and all but slamming my receipts down on the counter in front of their faces. I have hours and hours and hours and hours of streaming of this game on my twitch channel, EnigmaticGlitch, where I have all of the proposed items on the account, visibly. I want my items.Business response
