    Besides the site navigation issues, selected the Digital Premium option, told it wasn't available, but there was a third option with the same name and this with a price. Then apparently it goes through Windows Store, which I never use and using my personal email, no idea what my password is so had to resolve that. So apparently I have an account associated with an expired CC, so I updated that. Next, apparently my bank doesn't like me purchasing things from Microsoft, so I got a fraud alert, and answered "NO" because I didn't want to be charged while I'm on the "declined" screen on the Starfield website and no idea if I would actually get a download link or email with a download link. So now I'm on hold on the phone with my bank's fraud department to explain the whole thing as I don't want my debit card blocked everywhere now. What a S.S. Thank you Starfield & Microsoft for adding BS to my life today. You won't be getting my money!!!

        I'm not a gamer, but my daughter and son-in-law are. They use refillable credit cards and separate email accounts for gaming due to exactly the crappy customer service you're experiencing.

          You could have bought through Steam as well. 0 hassle! :D And also, XBox Gamepass would also give you the game for "free", well free as in as long as you pay the gamepass subscription!

            No; I blame the CC's. Their (AI) "classification" seems very touchy the first few times you use a new CC. (Your previous CC usage seem to have little bearing). Been there.

            "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
