Chargeback for false advertising

[YouMayNot]

Well that's against TOS so.. nice knowing you?
I'm not shaming your decision but RIP 笑

If they put that in the ToS then it's illegal in Cali, California does not allow you to refuse refunds. I'll write a letter to the attorney general if that's true.

I got my money back anyways! Realistically it should be more than refund because they wasted my time as well, when you pay $60 and play for 10 hours realistically game companies should refund $60 + 10 * $15/hr which is $210, but sadly we don't live in an ideal world.

Square Enix has been known to delete the accounts of those who chargeback via their bank, including their characters. Forever.

It's been nice knowing you for the past 30 seconds since I opened this thread.

EDIT: Oh, wait...



What I meant to say was, Square Enix will send you a $50 Chick-Fil-A gift card if you chargeback, and even give you a year of free sub time to make up for the dissatisfaction.

I worked in Chargeback and fraud, and the biggest disclaimer we give people is: "Avoid chargeback with us unless absolutely necessary, many places cancel their account"

Steam and Playstation are the most notorious for this, even if it comes out deemed a valid chargeback, you will get your account perma-banned with them regardless of chargeback outcome, valid or not, and most game accounts are the same.

Yeah you can go check it out, they emailed an updated TOS early this morning and I was reading it out of curiosity.

"3.8 Chargebacks. You are authorizing all fees charged under this User Agreement until you properly deactivate your account. Therefore, you may not falsely notify your credit card or debit card provider that you did not authorize the automatic recurring charge. If you are using a parent's credit card, you must have their authorization for recurring billing."

You can do better than this, Titanmen. Are feeling unwell this week?

As a California native and life long resident myself, I know that is false. California has a reputation for its crazy policies (many of which are real /shudder) but that is not one of them.

Here is where you messed up. If you were really so mad that you did a chargeback, then you wouldn't care that the account gets banned. After all, what are you gonna do? Keep playing while being unable to progress because you returned DT? That doesn't make sense. If you did a chargeback, then it'd only be because you were quitting forever.
