While that would get the money back, credit chargebacks often result in being banned from stores. It's safer to try working with the store first.

Yeah, gonna be real, I don't give a fuck if I'm banned from a store that simultaneously doesn't give me what I paid for and is slow on making it right.

It's been 2 weeks. Chargeback and be done with them.

Yeah but if they're not cooperating it's worth it.

I bought a used cell phone from an ebay reseller who claimed a one-year warranty. Within that time, it broke, so I put in for a warranty claim. They said sure, here's your shipping label, we'll send you a refund or replacement. Time goes by, no refund or replacement, no reply to further messages. I contact ebay support and they tell me to do a chargeback. So I do. Bank wants some documentation, I provide everything, they put it through, I get the refund, and no account closure from ebay.

Ebay telling you to do it is different. Try a chargeback on steam or origin and you'll potentially lose your entire game library.
