Buy the game yourself, for full price. If you had done that, you would not have any issues. Computer games that create online accounts cannot usually be transferred to new owners. This is industry wide. If you bought everquest used from sony, or world of warcraft used from blizzard, they would not let you set up an account with the used software. Those CD Keys can only be used once. The person who sold you the game just ripped you off, they KNEW they were ripping you off. They probably installed the game and sold you the CD while they sit at home still playing the game. As for the download, what company is going to let you REDOWNLOAD a game without proof of purchase? You could not provide the company with proof you had bought the game, why should they let you download it? If you had just taken your money, and bought the game retail at a store, you would be playing it with all your friends now. You learned a lesson on how the world works.
