UBISOFT problem! Won't honor past purchase...

[Gridley]

I just wanted to inquire here if I have any recourse with UBISOFT. I purchased IL2 1946 from digitalstore.ubi.com about a year ago. Since then, they have changed subcontractor for providing download/activation of this product.

Recently, I upgraded my hardware, and I'm trying to reinstall IL2 1946, however upon running the game i get a failure to activate because the activation server is gone.

The best UBI support will do is give me a 20% off coupon, which is essentially asking me to buy the same game from them again! Horrible business and customer support.

Now, it's the principle of the matter, not the $8. How do I know I won't just have to buy it again next year!?

Has anyone here solved this issue? I guess I learned my lesson not to buy from UBI.com anymore.

Be warned, 1C. Your publisher/distributor is not doing you any favors!
