Refund for Walmart purchase?

You wont get anywhere here, I believe that falls on the retailer.  If you're dead set on getting the $40 back you can go back to Walmart and flip shit and they'll eventually give it to you.  But it is against policy to take back opened games/movies/music so they might stonewall you.

Stardock will give you a refund and eat the extra cost if you bought it from a retailer. If you want the full refund you have to go through technical support first, otherwise I think you can get a 75% refund by emailing [email protected]. Stardock is cool that way .

^ Pretty funny show, especailly if u watched johhny quest as a kid

Ebay?

Should also be aware that you won't get a refund for Stardock unless its for an unsolvable technical issue on your end. You can't get a refund just because you don't like the game.

id say your best bet is to talk to the manager of the store you purchased the game from. Other than that, id say your out of luck. The way piracy is nowdays and how fearfull retailers are you are stuck with it.

Ebay would be a good way to sell it, that is if you can get stardock to release the serial. You can also use those used game stores, however many games are not accepted by them. Dont expect anything close to your full amount though.

Is this the Walmart employee who served you?

games great once you get to play try game ranger alot of games are 93 there.

they still need to work on this multiplayer set up IMO

Interesting question, but why would you want to "return the game to Walmart"?

1) Does your PC not run it right (i.e. under requirements to play)?     -If this is the case, you cannot return it.  Sorry to say, but it lies on the consumer to read the system requirements on the box before purchasing the game in order to know whether or not their PC will play it.

2) Are you having network connection problems?    -If this is the case, then you might want to see if you need to update it with the update that came out a couple of hours ago.  This update did fix some of the network issues that were otherwise preventing players from connecting to each other.  Overall, it's more on the player's ISP because the way P2P is set up (and Comcast is the worst of all of them to go through).  Otherwise, if there's still issues that cannot be troubleshooted then you need to check with Stardock on what they can do.

3) Do you just not enjoying the game?   -If this is the case, I'm sorry but you cannot return in on that basis.  The reason is because it's just wrong and kind of a weak excuse.  Boxes discribe the game in details on the back as well as every product now has a discription and website that consumers can read before ever purchasing.  I mean, it's just the same that a person could copy/burn a game, CD, DVD and then return it to a store saying, "I don't like it."  They still have a copy of it and the store, developers, and all the people that made that product lose out of money because a customer said they don't like it when all they did was copy the product and return it.   That's why there is such a policy in the first place to not return such opened products.

4)Is the product just damaged (scratched disc, doesn't install, ect.)?    -If this is the case then your only option would be to go to the store you purchased it from and explain the issue and they'll except a return for another copy.  However, that's all they can do (unless they don't have any copies left, then they can give you a gift card).

And people wonder why Piracy is so rampant.

Hard to justify a market that gives you no honest way to verify quality without taking a direct hit financially.

Especially since it's been a decade since Demo's were anything near honest about what they weren't letting you do compared to the full game.

I mean I don't know why he wants to return this game, but in general this is why I feel that neither side has any strong ground to preach from .

You will never get anything close to an accurate representation of any game from the box or its website. Even the one for Demigod is very unhelpful, I love the game, but the camera angles and scale illusion from zooming gives very exaggerated feel to it all. Marketers don't get paid to be honest, they get paid to sucker people in. That's capitalism, and also why capitalism crashes so much, it works by predating on people's trust until they stop trusting and it crashes for a few years till people forget why they stopped trusting and it all starts again.

Plus the no returns thing was as far back as N64. Maybe 1 in 2 million people was able to actually pirate their N64 stuff.

Eaier than that. Reg the game in Impulse and download a working version that way. Why bother with fighting the store at all, if #4 is the case, which i doubt.

As for the SD refunds, i thought that only pertained to items bought through Impulse. There is no way SD can be assured that the OP still does not have a copy of the game, so why pay him? When it's through impulse, they still don't have that assurance, but they can atleast block/delete the registered account.

I could be wrong, but i think the OP is barking up the wrong tree to get a refund of SD without some documented technical issue.

Furthermore, Why the refund? As mentioned before..Ebay.

AngryZealot's reply (#2) was correct. If the game won't work on your machine and support can't fix it, we will refund retail copies and eat the extra cost. Please contact [email protected] for details.
