Easily. You claim the company didn't deliver the product as ordered and is refusing to refund your money. That's what chargebacks are for.
That said, chargebacks aren't a blanket get out of jail free card. Some CC plans offer consumer protection insurance, which goes above and beyond simple chargebacks.
- mrgoldenbrown 14y agoBe careful - if you have bought any other games on Origin, you will lose those too if you do a chargeback and they ban your account. You are not just losing SimCity, you are losing anything you have bought on the same account.
- daenz 14y agoCan they get a chargeback on those games as well? Or how is that not some form of theft? He bought the previous games, and the company forcefully removed them from him and keeps his money.
- redthrowaway 14y agoI'm assuming the EULA says something to the effect of, "you're paying for a license to use the software, not to purchase a copy. You own nothing and we can void your permission at any time".
- smsm42 14y agoMany credit companies would not let you to contest transactions beyond certain limits (90 days? don't remember) so with old games that probably won't work. Not sure if any of them provide warranties for digital goods... Worst case one may try one's luck in small claims court, though what would be the result is anyone's guess - there's certainly language in EULA saying you're not getting any money back but that may or may not be legally true.
