Bundled Packs Question
Hi, so I purchased the Base game + Eco Lifestyle bundle used from GameStop.... however it didn't come with an activation key. Do The bundles not come with activation keys or did GameStop fumble? Wh...

Just so you are aware. Any games that come with activation keys will only work when it comes brand new with an activation key.
I have never bought a used game with a functioning activation key. GameStop and EA are not liable for there not being an activation key. When doing in store credit for selling a used game to GameStop activation keys aren't even considered. Sadly there is no legal obligation for GameStop to sell used games with functioning activation keys, there is also no legal obligation for EA (or any other video game company) to issue a game keys for any of their used games purchased through a third party.
It's the frustrating and annoying way that both GameStop as well as the game company (EA in this case) to make more money by having you purchase a brand NEW copy of the game.
To get The Sims 4 brand new on PC you are better off purchasing a brand new version of the game from GameStop or directly from the EA website. For the Console you're better off just purchasing the game brand new or getting it from the Console game store.
Yeah that make 0 sense & isn't acceptable just as I told GameStop... without an activation key the game is useless & I am essentially left with a blank disk which defeats the purpose.... they assured me even the used games should come with the activation key as they're typically printed on the inside sleeve cover. You can't resell a game & claim its playable if its not-that right there is honest advertising.... The only warning for used games are that they may come with ware and tear & that could be the cause as to why a game wouldn't work and in that case, its "buy at your own risk"..... even if it doesn't make sense to you, it made sense enough to them for a refund, lol.
But again, my question was do the bundles cone with activation keys BC I didn't see it printed on the cover, add they used to be. And I've not bought a disk in a while, so I wasn't 100%sure if that's still a thing they did. And ofc that's the part of the question that goes unanswered, so I'm assuming I wasn't clear enough
