Duped by Steam/EAC/Amazon

Today I bought 2 copies of New World Deluxe.
I wanted to play the game with my wife, this didn’t happen.

  1. The game kept crashing to the desktop on my PC (RTX 3080)
  2. After two clean installs I swapped my RTX 3080 to my old GTX 1080Ti and I was able to stay on the queue for a long time!
  3. Bought the game for my wife. Downloaded, installed the game. It does not run on her computer (crashes immediately).
  4. Clean install wife’s PC, game still does not run.
  5. Wife has an I9-7900X ES (Engineering Sample) which is, totally incompatible with EAC’s brutal driver trickery.
  6. Ask Steam for a refund since I wasn’t able to get past the Queue/Tutorial. Steam refuses my refund because I “played” 4 hours.
  7. Game won’t run on wife’s PC unless I spend 900$+ on a new CPU so I can make EAC’s boys happy.

Bought two copies of the game. Can’t play. Can’t get a refund. EAC won’t fix their bad Ring 0 Manipulation, won’t be able to play unless I buy a new CPU.

Now I have 2 copies of a game I can’t play.
Nice way to burn some cash quickly. I know I won’t get any support.

[EAC] has one of the worst support I’ve ever came across.
[Valve] Will only send automated messages saying “no”.
[Amazon] Will probably shift the guilt to Valve or EAC.

[New World Reddit] - I got banned for making a post saying (Does not run on my CPU, anyone with the same issue?) [???]

What have we become?

So I will have to find other ways.

Thank you guys.
