So, where is the refund for this garbage?
I was deceived into pre ordering this F1 2022 *. It doesn't work as advertised, so I want a refund.

@fca5a86ea741dcf04e1d9fc4a4f4aa0f And you can't google your way to your store's costumer service?
Who deceived you? I don't know why anybody would preorder in this day and age without waiting for reviews from outlets and people who don't have an affiliation with the developer/publisher.
Physical copies may not have any actual game data anymore and just a key to access the game and then spend hours waiting to play: but with what Ubisoft tried. Guys don’t buy digital. Uk consumer rights mean you buy it from a shop. You have 21/28 (can never remember which) days to return and get full refund no questions asked. And even if you’ve had it longer. No shop will refuse if it’s newer than 6 months just as longs your loud and politely annoying so they cant force you Ito leave. They will take it back just to get rid off you.
As I enjoy voicing my opinion I’m very good at it. Just remember be loud but be polite and stubborn also before Google and quickly read through consumer rights and pick a couple off sentences that sound good. Cause shops will resist but when you sound like you know your rights that’s more than they know

Have you ever successfully got a refund on a game in the way you suggest? I've not tried but am a bit doubtful it may be as easy as you suggest.
- @Ultrasonic_77 Per Xbox: "Refunds are typically issued for requests made within 14 days of the purchase date for games in which you haven't accumulated a significant amount of play time. For single-use items (like consumables and in-game currency), your request is likely eligible only if the consumable was not redeemed or used." But how does this apply to digital games, especially if you have no way to use a hard copy? Part of the current scam.
Codemasters and EA deceived me. I don't care what you would or would or wouldn't do, I payed for an incomplete product.
I don't know, I don't think there was a point that we should ever expect a day one purchase to be not filled with bugs and being incomplete, especially a game on a yearly cycle such as F1. Previous experience of the game probably would have told us that this would not be released in a complete manner.
When we have companies only care about their quarterly projections for their shareholders, the onus of the quality of the game is lost, coupled with the short development cycle. If we want games that are released in a more playable day one condition, stop preordering, wait for reviews a week into it, then buy or not buy. When people are buying it regardless from day 1, coupled with preorder sales, no matter how buggy the game comes out, EA and companies are going see it as a success. If we hit their weekly sales on release, they'll take notice. But hey we live in an impatient world where everything has to be now, now, now with consequence thought of later....
@TotosHeadphonesAs long as consumers keep apologizing for the companies that are giving it to them in the button, they will continue this lazy, arrogant, incompetent way of doing business. Have you seen EA's recent Madden or Fifa games? Would you go to a restaurant that advertised lobster, then gave you a cheeseburger. But halfway through your cheeseburger, they bring out a lobster claw, only this time they promise to bring out the rest of the lobster once they figure out how to cook it? Is that what we're supposed to accept now? Just because "that's how it is"?
