Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
What if the publisher buys the shop, closes it, and then files for bankruptcy? Huh? Huh?
Yes, we're a bunch of lawless cowboys!

They put the games on these circular discs with a hole in the middle. That's fine and all, but what they don't tell you is that sometimes those discs are/get damaged and then you're totally screwed, because you paid good money for something that doesn't work.
Boycot games in shops!
Not that I uh... know from experience or anything.

Silence for the good of this thread!
I'm really wondering why you thin this would not be the case if someone were to buy Steam. It's just as likely someone would sell their shop and the buyer wouldn't follow through on their service commitments.
That's when you grab the backup copy you made and use that instead. That's what they are there for. That's why you have the god given right to make backups.
Now, if you didn't make a backup or bought a game that prevents you from making one without diving into illegalities, that's when you have to blame yourself.

I don't see how a sealed case could be in that condition, since for that to happen, it'd kinda need to be, you know, opened.
Even then, unless it looks completely brand new, I'd be checking the media. And if it's scratched up like that, the store better offer a refund. Do it right inside or outside of the store right after you buy it, so they can't say you took it home and beat it up.
