I deleted my Google account. Now I must purchase the full version again right?

[Desmond350]

I deleted my Google account like a month or 3 b4. I don't want to explain too much of the details, I deleted it myself after my small YouTube channel (10/20 subs only) had strange video uploads. Then all my purchases are gone.

I had asked similar questions to account problems on Quora and Reddit. I cannot recover my Quora or Reddit account.

Those websites did not helping me get my account back.
I guess I have to buy the game again. I'm already expecting a reply like this from members or moderators etc... Just want to double confirm before I buy it again...

(Bought full version many years ago but cannot find in payments.google.com on any of my current Google accounts)

Hello!

Sorry to hear about your internet challenges. That's not okay.

However, if you deleted the account used to buy the game, than you deleted the purchase information required to re-install a previous purchase. Before you deleted that account, there should have been a warning about loosing access to anything that used that account.

If you were worried about someone gaining access to your accounts, less destructive options tend to work, such as logging out of all devices, changing passwords with best practices, and not sharing access across multiple platforms.

Have a wonderful day.

Oh great. I'm the one who start this thread. I'm messed up with the password I used. Can I merge my new only posted a few threads account with this current account? I started this thread... So if I want to play this game with the full version again, I have to buy it. Totally expected it. I also doubt I can find any screenshots of that purchase of the full version... Okay if I just... I'll buy it again.

My account... I'm not trying to steal information or anything... T_T

Internet 101:
1: No need to do full quote for a response right above yours. It clutters the forum and makes it hard to read.
2: No, we can't merge two random accounts. Even if you could prove it was you in both accounts. Not something the code allows. (And how would you even prove such a thing? We're all strangers in the dark.)
3: If you DELETED your Google account, than yeah, that account is gone. There's no way to prove the account was yours, and even if you could, it would be impossible to access the information for a deleted account. That's the deletion part of deleted.

Have a wonderful day,

VDX

Oh yeah thank you then... I mean the exiled forums account is still tied to that email and I tried the passwords I think I used for that EK forum account. But... I forgot... Until that account was temporarily locked... Nvm

Oh you understand what I was referring at my previous reply right?

Cusdomer Servist at Reddit, Meta's Instagram is just unhelpful. I still had access to FB and my IG... Whatever argh not asking for help about sth unrelated just giving some extra details

I followed your line of thought.

Sadly, scammers regulalry claim to have lost access to an email account, as a way to bypass security measures. Thus, internet safety mandates no access to recovery email means no access to the accounts served by that email.

Just to clarify regarding the purchased license. It is Google who sells the game, who verifies your account, and who activates the game once they check it's you. We have very limited options in this regard and we can't help you with your lost license. I am really sorry.

Regarding forum account, just as VDX mentioned, we can't just merge accounts by request "in good faith". All the options we can provide are the password recovery options offered by the forum already. We can't put our users at risk, registration agreements go both ways and we're obligued to never give access to an account without authentication.

Locking thread.
