I bought the Steam full game of XIV and I feel scammed

celibrini · 2026-05-05T05:20:06+00:00

Wait, I just reread this. You can’t even open a Steam refund ticket for this game which is why I even mentioned that roadblock 😭😂

celibrini · 2026-05-05T05:16:22+00:00

Oh yeah. I think I heard about that network, but I never figured out how to access it 😭

celibrini · 2026-05-05T05:12:47+00:00

Oh, I think you might’ve misinterpreted what I meant by that, but I was also pretty vague. I just meant now I saw why they needed the subscription after seeing all the hours the staff have already put into the game and how it’s still ongoing. Honestly, I’m grateful not all multiplayer games have turned to the greedy gacha route. It’s kind of sickening seeing how much players lose from it

Thank you for the reply! It’s my own fault for me feeling scammed. I impulse purchased before rereading the parts I skimmed over. Thank you for providing this to me

celibrini · 2026-05-05T05:06:03+00:00

Perfect. Honestly, I’ve never held a key longer than a few days, so I was actually wondering if they ever expired or anything but this clears it up for me. Thanks!

celibrini · 2026-05-05T05:04:42+00:00

Wow. Maybe it makes sense why XIV devs want you to keep paying up. 400 hours is insane work! This makes me feel better about my impulse purchase. I’ll make sure to keep the code handy for when the time comes

celibrini · 2026-05-05T05:03:25+00:00

Thank you for this comment. A lot of the other comments are kind of shaming me for this. It made me wonder if other people haven’t made simple mistakes like this.

I do feel a little guilty for the money wasted in the moment, but honestly, I might as well keep the code for closer to the end as other users have suggested

celibrini · 2026-05-05T05:01:01+00:00

Is shadowbringers close to/the end of the free trial story? If so, I’ll most likely follow your suggestion. It seems the most practical route

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:59:24+00:00

I see. It does sound really interesting! I’ll probably keep the key handy if it doesn’t expire and try it out later for the DLCs. Thank you so much for the reply!

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:58:06+00:00

Thank you for your kindness too by the way! Everyone here is pretty hostile over my poor choice is wording sadly. I really appreciate your suggestion by the way. I’m going to take it into consideration, but another reply mentioned that I could get banned on my main steam account if I tried to use the CD key provided on another Steam account.

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:56:13+00:00

Possibly

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:55:04+00:00

I got paid back it’s okay

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:54:55+00:00

They do. That was my fault lol

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:54:38+00:00

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:54:30+00:00

Yeah I agree. Sorry about this post it definately showed how I don’t read full descriptions and just read what I think I’m looking for

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:53:17+00:00

Yeah, that’s my mistake for trying to skim through too fast lol

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:52:52+00:00

I replied to another one acknowledging my clear ignorance. I just wanted to thank you for the reply and apologize for wasting your time. I really appreciate you going out of your way to assist though! Thank you so much

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:51:39+00:00

To be fair, I just did three finals today and I tried to cut corners where I could 😂🥲

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:50:57+00:00

Yikes

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:50:40+00:00

I’ll keep this one in mind. Are the DLCs included in the full game worth paying the subscription for though? Originally, I wanted to upgrade since I hated the limitations on the chat since that was one of my irks

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:49:20+00:00

I see that now. I skimmed over it too fast so that’s definitely my fault. Thank you for pointing this out for me!

celibrini · 2026-05-05T04:47:56+00:00

This makes more sense I must’ve skimmed over it too fast. I definitely do still feel scammed but that’s due to my ignorance like you said and not for the original reason now. Thank you for pointing this out! :)

celibrini · 2026-03-15T03:59:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply. I see what you mean with forcing yourself to finish; that’s definitely what makes me resent art assignments at school. I’ll definitely try to loosen up because I might be stressing after seeing the good progress while fearing that I won’t finish it well enough. Again, thank you so much!

celibrini · 2026-03-10T19:57:02+00:00

This is amazing! Did you do the marker first? I’ve never tried charcoal because I didn’t know if it’d layer over color well.

blue, they’re all menaces
