Wait doesn't buying anything above 5$ once makes it unlimited or it's a yearly type shi
Its a new account just for social interaction, it is the 'just' once on this account.

My other account has almost 4k games on it and never sees the social aspect.

They sold me two gift cards from some foreign country where they are dirt cheap but the conversion rate made it equal less than the amount needed to put the account over...so i'm just pissed. Scam job to save change.

And they saved 0.21usd what can those get you anyway ,here i assume you can get like a small juice box
They probably profit more than that by the price they originally pay for the card...but i'm insisting on a full refund, I bought a global steam card, not one (two actually) from itabackwatercountry that had a conversion rate, which is clear enough by the fact I got 2 cards at all.

I literally spent extra avoidiing a US only card to be sure :rolleyes: (that part hurts) 😅

Is there a reason to avoid a us only card don't they convert anyway I guess I didn't get what you meant
I just didnt want to chance it being the wrong type of card...global is anywhere that's the point of global.

And yes they convert...thats the problem here, global doesnt have a conversion cost in any region on the planet.

I got less money due to conversion where global would be $5 flat anywhere on earth (and cost more because of it)

People or bots handle listing those items, one or the other, when your listing 30 different regions its much easier to make a mistake...global is just a one and done--or should be. But then you have crooks like this.

Then say I was buying it for someone here, not exactly sure of the region...I still don't want them to get 4.79 instead of $5 (and I've done this multiple times), just glad it was me it happened too if anybody.

Its a dick move...plain and simple, I got no remorse for the ass that pulled it.

If it was a $25 card and came to like $24.65 I likely wouldnt even care unless my purchase was precisely $24.99

But doing it with $5 cards is asinine because most of the time those are used to make unlimited accounts or given as gifts being the lowest amount.

Only one thing worse than a crook...a dumb crook :LOL:

My late landlord ruined my patience for idiots entirely...i'll bring war to anyone who asks for it over a nickel, my patience is not to be tested right now.

Never saw the old Robocop? gonna have to take a look...both of those games look sad tbh.

More trash and a game that will make the other Robocop look like crap...which sadly looks better than Terminator.

Will people play it 🤷‍♂️ but I have less than zero interest in cyborg survivors personally.

Why can't they just make a terminator like Max Payne or something? I'll be back with slow motion shotguns in bullet time...someday.
I usually play Survival games, I like building bases, exploring the world, and even if it's bad I'll probably try it at some point since I played a lot of "mixed reviews games" and enjoyed some of them so it might be bad to some... I may like it or not usually I don't care as much about the reviews until I see all the problems with my eyes
I tried to follow you but I got ripped off buying a fucking gift card to put my public steam account past limited status :ROFLMAO: (long overdue)

Fuckers sold me 2 cards that equaled 4.79

EDIT:

I'm having it out with these people...I AM NOT happy getting delayed by some con-artist scam to make 21 cents.
Yeah, it is a thing, I thought that Hong Kong Dollar gift cards give -0.21 euros/dollars.

Thank you very much!

Wait doesn't buying anything above 5$ once makes it unlimited or it's a yearly type shi
You don't have to buy anything from it as long you activate a gift card you'll be fine to make it unlimited permanently, but the GC must be at least $5 since I saw 1$ GC on an app or somewhere, I never touched any of those.

Gonna be a little slower than usual today :LOL:

Hand looks like I just had sex with a mummy after that :ROFLMAO:

Best part though, told my ex I needed a lift to the store for some plaster to fix my now busted roof and sent it to her...

She goes "Jesus christ, you too? I got a message from redacted earlier saying almost the same thing."

I feel that, before I was in backlog paradise in the PS3 days, I played every RPG rhe system had just because it was only genre I truly enjoyed and I ran out of games...found some truly unique gems that way.

No fucking clue, its not that it gave me .21 euros, its that it shorted me 0.21 USD, the first card was like 1.75 or something ridiculous which immediately got my attention (at first I thought they gave me two gift cards) and the next like twice that, I have to assume it was a 5 and 10 dollar card from some country with a much lower USD cost.

First time I've seen it.
Thank you very much!

Wasn't just for you, but 🤷‍♂️ I know how it is now....didn't think it mattered half as much before as I realize it does now or I would have did it for the cat too.

And that was my intention, no intent to even spend the money so i really wasnt feeling buying another card. Now there trying to tell me steam doesnt activate regional cards due to a recent change :rolleyes: they don't realize I live in this world and bullshitting me is about as weak of a defense as they could have.

I have one fucking purchase (well two) on my entire steam account lmao.
