      On 8-12-24 I received an email my Account for the **** game had been suspended for 30days with no explanation as to why. I immediately fill out a support ticket explaining I hadn't even been on the game but 1 time in over a week and had never used any mod menus, cheats or glitches. I use this account for making ******* content so why would I risk that? I get the same scripted response back that they wont change anything. Even when its their mistake? I put over 970 hours in this game in less than a year for building and making video content. As a 100% disabled veteran it is 1 of the only ways I can make any extra income. Not to mention also a share holder in Take 2. So suspending me for 30 day and resetting my account to 0 is detrimental to someone in my position. I have opened multiple support tickets to get the same scripted response and ticket closed. 1 of them I got a response before they immediately closed the ticket, that my account for a game I have never owned or even played (RDO) violated the *** causing the suspension in ****. Which makes less than 0 sense.Ive tried every phone number I can find and either a recording telling me to open a support ticket online or person that cant/wont help me. The customer service, or lack there of is ridiculous for such a large game and company. How can they commit a theft such as this with no explanation? Its so they can make people who want to use their game have to spend real money to buy their shark cards for in game money, to get back to where they were before Rockstar took ti away from them. Its all a money hustle it seems. A quick ****** search shows they do this to MANY people Very often.

      We reviewed the customer's account data and have confirmed that the account was appropriately banned from GTA Online for violating the game terms and end user license. This complaint should be closed and resolved in favor of the Company. This is our final comment on this matter.

      Tried contacting Rockstar's support team due to my game (Red Dead Redemption 2) being linked to an old email that I have since then lost. Went quiet a bit of the day going back and forth with them giving them all the information needed to prove the account/game was mine and had gone through 4 different people responding to me. They kept asking the same questions and I kept answering them providing the correct information and after the 3rd time asking the same question they just give me "We have investigated, but have been unable to verify that this request is being made from the owner of the Rockstar Games account where the information was recently changed. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause." and then proceeded to close my support ticket. They also kept asking for any purchases I have made in game and clearly stated I haven't made any so I can't provide any evidence of it if there is none and they kept asking it over and over, along with asking me questions about another account for another game that had nothing to do with the game I was having issues with. Really want this resolved considering I can no longer get a refund due to Steam's refund policies (it's not Steam's fault it's just their policy).

      I had to re-purchase GTA V when I purchased a computer as GTA V makes you repurchase. Thus, I had to create a new character. I duplicated my new account to mimic my old account for the most part. I don't have some of the larger items, but I had all of the same cars. Rockstar is saying they don't see where my account had the items in possession on this character on this new account. This is not the first time this has happened. I have several very similar past communications with Rockstar when they indeed have given my items back, although not without me pulling their teeth out and all but slamming my receipts down on the counter in front of their faces. I have hours and hours and hours and hours of streaming of this game on my twitch channel, EnigmaticGlitch, where I have all of the proposed items on the account, visibly. I want my items.

      Online account was banned with no explanation or evidence provided. After multiple attempts to contact the business, I only received a generic response with no details.

      My Epic Games account is currently linked to my old account, which I lost access to by email, and today I'm trying to play on my account and I can't because the Rockstar account linked to Epic is on my old email. . ?After researching I discovered that to unlink I would need to contact Rockstar support, I did that. ?They requested various information from me, such as the email I want to use, account nickname, account ID, game purchase statement and various other information. Note: All information was sent in print, as requested.?After several confirmation questions, I was asked: When was the account linked to PSN and Epic? an approximate date and indicated that I was based on purchasing the game on the *** After that the response I received was: We investigated, but were unable to verify whether this request was being made by the owner of the Rockstar Games account. I apologize for any inconvenience caused. that could cause it. And that's it! They closed the support chat! What do I do now? in the same answer and I'm left with that, without my game on my PC?

      RockStar Games support will not send me an email to re-set my password. I have account information where money has been previously spent and I cannot seem to log back in for the game.- Rockstar hasnt sent any communications and requests information to help me that I can't access as it's on the old account!- They had me previously sync my steam account with their ********************** platform, so I cannot play the game anymore as they don't tell you WHAT account is synced with it! This means you can't play the game, and they don't provide any of that information/send the forgot password emails...- Purchased content inaccessible...This has made me not want to purchase any of their future games/material because of this.

      Rockstar games makes it so that their social club account LINKS to a steam account (game platform).Well when I lost my ****** account because my phone broke and I couldnt pay my bill, losing my number. I lost many many accounts. I can't get into my rockstar games social club account so I contacted support asking them to remedy the issue so I can play the game I bought. I sent them proof, CD keys, screenshots, everything. They denied me access to my own game on my own steam account that I payed 50 bucks for. I can't use it at all because it requires I login to an account, an account of which I cannot recover because of ******, however this is rockstars fault for not unlinking the account for me. They are theives.
