Have you ever bought used PC games through eBay or Amazon?
February 32010
I’m wondering – isn’t there some code that can only be used once for games like The Sims and Spore?
It all depends on the game, and how new it is. Some games have an install limit on how many times you can install with the CD Key. If that game reaches the limit, you have to call support, and tell them details on your purchase. The gaming industry doesn’t support used game sales, so more than likely they won’t help much. (I had the same issue years ago, when I bought starcraft second hand)
Long story short, I’d suggest avoiding used games. Not to mention, you don’t know what kind of condition the disc is in.
