Yea. I don't even have an email from valve saying my account has been disabled for xyz with any instructions on how to fix it.
Always annoying when a company is pushing one area and completely forgetting about another. I'm fine with most things can be solved via users on the forums but when your account is up shit creek, they can't do a damn thing.
amazing

just listening to the news, and i've worked out why qld wanted flooding.
Brisbane, Towoomba and Ipswich are being fast tracked onto the NBN this year, well done qld, a most cunning plan. try not to rub it in.
seriously, a small silver lining for some of you after the shitiness of the flooding.

I find it funny the disconnect between developers, publishers and writers. All of them seem to hate each other and yet we are all game players. Is there a real reason for it? I don't think so. I just think the industry is full of immature people who have a big whinge when someone else thinks differently to how they do.

as soon as the floods hit i said, SURELY SOMEONE must have the braniac idea of not rebuilding the copper and putting the NBN in instead, makes sense. and finally someone did
also on that site mar there is interesting comments such as when a game magazine hypes the shit out of a game only to give it a poor score at the end. I've been guilty of that before (due to listening to 'oh its going to be fixed in the final product' crap that came out of a now out the industry persons mouth) and im sure Gaz was as well.

There's a guy in the Steam thread who said it took a year to get his account back.
They've basically got a absolute, 100%, no tolerance policy on charge backs. Which protects them, but it's ridiculous in situations like cookie's, where he wasn't at fault at all.
Choc said:problem for cookie is i imagine he bought tons of shit for $5 that is now $30 (Sales)
so he cant just rebuy it all
Most were probably shit though and not really worth it lol.
Some were tied to my account being steamworks titles but most weren't. Of course i don't have my serial numbers which could be a bitch if i wanted to install and play but there should be a way to figure those out. Maybe i can enter offline mode and try log into my disabled account.
Something to mess with over the weekend i guess.

You forgot the retailers!
Developers get pissy at publishers
Publishers get pissy at writers
Retailers get pissy at publishers
Publishers get pissy at developers
etc etc
It's like a giant fucked up version of rock paper scissors.
But in the end its a weird relationship, everyone has to work with each other, so they have to get along.

Not hijacked though. I'm guessing if it was then the response would be quicker. They probably look at this as a personal choice to charge back purchases and by doing that i knew the consequences that came with it.
Got a reply. Guess i need to hit up the bank and see if they can cancel the charge back, if they are able to i should be ok.
It was over kayne and lynch 2 and the indi pack. Crappy purchases lol
Wait what. I purchased kayne and lynch 2 back in november. There's no way this chargeback could be over those purchases. It would have been during the christmas period. The K&L2 purchase also went through steampowered.com london. The fuck?
When I got hit with cc fraud years ago the some companies reissued charges. If you could get your bank to not screw up then get steam to charge again (if they do that) it should fix the problem.
I know I went absolutely mental when two companies re-charged fraudulent transactions, which then overdrew my account as I'd taken all my money out of that account just in case. Lucky my bank was pretty awesome about it all.

Of course. Maybe i will make an evlbank account just for fun.
The bank couldn't do anything so now i need to call up some other part of the bank and see which fuckwit issued the charge backs. I also need to make up a phone banking number, who the fuck uses phone banking!
yeah serrells your US friends @ kotaku are getting slammed on it
i mean, having been on the journo side of things there is a few things that can't be helped, but reading his blog posts are VERY interesting. Not that i think game journalists are hacks (hey i used to do it), but the perception is interesting.

2011 is the year meta-game journalism discussion has died for me. I'm just done. I couldn't possibly care less about what Joe Internet is writing on a blog. It's an unending loop I've cycled around a million times in the past-year alone.

yeah, I mean I'm all for reading great content, I'm just sick of the 'critiquing the critics' (or in this case bloggers and the like) angle across everything from movies to games. I've overdosed on it.
I don't even consume video game media any more. Whether that's podcasts, reviews, previews, news, anything. You'll even struggle to get me to watch trailers.
I'm still playing games as much as ever though (well, relatively when you take into account I now work 8 hours a day).

Well sounds like it will take up to a week or more for the things to be reversed. Let's see if they are able to get it done and if valve picks up on it.
Will shoot valve another email with an update, Hopefully i can keep the ticket open and get this shit resolved.
I do find it odd that they aren't complaining about the three other charge backs that have been issued.
Also what sort of shoe store name is man begger thief.

His name is Michael.

3DS preordered, my body is ready.
For a 699 pricetag
Going to move my steam apps folder and then relog in with my fake new account.
Magnets is $2! But i might have to take you up on that Ep1 offer. I think that can get me chat access.
