My advice , don't ever buy from these merchant . I remember there are people who offer games rental service on lowyat. If you absolutely are tight on money you can rent these games or buy the second-hand copy.

These digital sellers are basically a bunch of cheapo and fishy bas****, some of them are probably buying games using fishy credit cards . When they get banned , your account will go down with them and all your games will be lost.

Not that it hasn't happened before. There were a bunch of cases on popular sites like Lazada/11streets , where these digital games merchants eventually got banned by Sony/Nintendo , and they will remove any negative comments you left on their product pages.


P/S : Same goes for those steam merchant seller , was looking to buy from them until I heard they actually wanted my accnt and password for the reason of " reloading " games onto my account ohmy.gif

so how about 2nd purchase? Another account? Or still the same account, since they have access to the password.

Its still risky, isn't it?

It is still risky . Because the original account owner who created the email , does not necessarily require the password in order to reclaim your email account .

They will only have to lodge a report to email service support to check the IP when the account registration happened , which should rightfully belong to the merchant.
They can reclaim the account rather easily and deemed you as an intruder / hacker of their email . I have reclaimed googles accounts and my yahoo accounts via the same method before this.

Regardless this is still risky and if the discount is worth the risk , that is something only you can answer
