    i have just had a go at them via the feedback option.
  • ok, that is like a foreign language to me. when you buy a game do you just install it once and then not ever be able to again if it was deleted by accident? cant you just run a game without installing? what is linux? a game? personally i would rather be able to just stick the disc in and run it rather than having it permanently on the pc useing up space.
    please bare in my mind i dont have a clue and have never played games on a pc, before you take what i have said apart.

    Linux is a operating system free which some people use instead if xp/ vista

    what if i buy a game but arent sure if my pc meets the requirements and then i find that it does not meet them? would i be able to take the game back? i am curious what would happen because if i could take it back then wouldnt most people just buy a game, then install it and then take it back saying they cant get it to work. that way you would have a free game. so i am guessing you cant take them back? if so it isnt too fair because i have seen games in online shops that dont say what the requirements are.

    Most games require the cd in order to play after they've been installed. Taking the CD/game back would make the installation unusable. They may try and copy the cd but that's piracy and no different than buying a film, copying it and taking it back. It happens but is no less illegal.
