    My Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel account (Player ID: [***********]), which was lost due to Konamis failure to properly sync with ****************** a system their company relies on for data backup. ***** Support has confirmed (Case #************) that my *********** account was correctly logged in, yet Konamis system failed to retrieve my data. This is a an issue on Konamis side. Their Terms of Service (Section 4.3) misleadingly implies *********** backups are reliable, yet their system does not function as advertised. I have given proof that this is indeed my account to (**************************************************************************) but have not received any meaningful support from their support team. My only request is simply to regain access to my account that has three years of progress on it as other players have received under similar circumstances to mine.

    I purchased two boxes of their newest product "Rage of the Abyss" at a store that supports the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game that they produce. Myself and at least one other person's product was mispackaged: The usual higher rarity (secret rare, *** was replaced with lower rarity (ultra rare, UR). This was an obvious mispackage because generally each box has 4 ultra rares and two secrets, one of mine had one SR and 5 UR and the other had 0 SR and 6 UR. The other person that I witnessed also had a box with 1 SR and 5 UR, the larger part of the case was mispackaged probably.I contacted Konami's support for at least replacement boxes to swap out. I offered witnesses and ID numbers for the box printing and could provide witnesses to the box openings, but the support contact told me to take it back to the store it was purchased at for a refund, insinuating that they would handle it through there. I talked to the store and they contacted support about it and basically told them they would get no help or replacement (thus losing money), so I did not go through with the return as that is not the fault of the store and totally unfair. The secrets are 80-90% of the value of this product.The company should be responsible for their quality checks and should hold their printing partners responsible, allowing the printer partners to continue this with no intervention from the company is a bit ridiculous and just allows for more low quality product in the future. I would like to just have the boxes replaced, along with the other person who also was known to receive faulty product.

    purchased from Amazon because the US version was show, the UK version was sent to me. can't return because item is open. the rep. for this company was not helpful at all. show 1 item and sending out a different 1 than shown is false advertisement. if I wanted to trade the game in at a local game stop or other store later down the road the wouldn't take it because it is the UK release

    I did state several times to this customer that we could assist them as a courtesy and did attempt to even though they did not meet our warranty policy requirements. I also informed him many times that Konami Digital Entertainment Inc (KDE-US) only manufactures and distributes ESRB (US/CAN) region games. We are not responsible for what private third-party sellers sell through the Amazon marketplace.

    The customer also stated that Amazon was willing to assist them as per Amazon's return/exchange policies.

    I have attached the complete communication with this customer which shows the warranty policy and how we went above and beyond what was required of us to assist in a resolution.

    At this point we suggest that this customer continues to resolve their matter with Amazon and/or the 3rd party seller.
