Bought BF Bad Company 2...need help

[Bodybordguru]

Ok, pretty much where ever I post this, it either gets no response, or someone flames me about it's in the wrong section.

I apologize if this is the wrong section.

Pretty much, I downloaded BF Bad company 2 on steam to my computer, so I can play the game.

After I got it downloaded, I went to play multiplayer, which I had to make an EA account.

So, I make the EA account, then after accepting the terms, it asks for the game code.

At the bottom right of my screen, it shows a game code, and says Shift tab to close, so im like, "oh this is easy, I will just enter the code right there."

I enter it, and of course, it says the code is already in use.

So, now I am peeved, so I look around on the main menu, and find the same code again, try it, but still same answer, "Code is already in use."

If someone could help me figure my small dilemma out, it would be greatly appreciated!

Again, I apologize if this is the wrong section, but I figured this is the last spot I will post for this!

Guess the only thing you can do its contact steam support :\ maybe they will provide you another one.

or just contact ea support and ask them what to do

cheers

Thanks...this is extremely stupid.......yet again wasted my money.

Well, did you buy a second hand/stolen steam account? If so you've been scammed.

Steam wont reimburse you for your negligence. If the account was purchased from a forum like this one, the seller should've specified that the account doesn't come with the EA account information. The key(s) have already been used and are tied to an EA account, nothing can be done.

Really... Well I will try to contact _Tyler about this because he was the one that sold me the account. Thanks for the responses so far!

Oh.. then its normal.. he sold you the account.. but the code was allready used by the original owner.. try to contact him.. and get a ea account.. or let him refound your money.. a bc2 account without a ea account for it.. its useless

Ok! Sweet thank you cracker. Yeah, I just contacted him about this, and waiting for a response. Hopefully he follows through...
