what game?
is that games launcher up to date?
did you set up and link an account from frontier to your steam account?

I don't know how to go about doing that.. First time I've ever done this. It's the game Elite Dangerous

You need to ask in the game section: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/359320/discussions/

I have played Elite Dangerous. Both on Steam and PlayStation.
I was NEVER asked for a 25 digit code.

A friend of mine got it straight from Frontier's website, and he wasn't asked for a 25 digit code either.

i bought it off steam though.... so i got screwed on my purchase then?

ok ty guys i know now that BOTH Frontier and Steam have screwed me over... it wont even let me login to my frontier account now hrs wasted and cash stolen .... if i make a new email and redownload steam will i still have the game or do i need to purchase it again?

You clearly did not buy it from Frontier or Steam.
They do not ask for any code.
When you buy it from either source, they clearly know you bought it and tie it to the account that bought it.

There is NO need for them to ask for any code.

i did but it from steam im on the site rn... imma have to bring charges of theft to both steam and frontier for this .... i want wtf i paid for lol

What do you mean Steam in? Did you not purchase it through the client app?

im lookin at it now. i bought the game directly through steam, and now frontier is not even letting me login with the email i just made idk what to do

either the system messed up (not theft) or you messed up linking your frontier account to steam (also not theft).

since you just bought the game, you can also submit a refund request. this is going to make your "theft report" invalid and possible get YOU in trouble for filing a fake report since you have the option to do a refund.

I got the game thru Epic when they gave it away for free, and I dont remember it ever asking for any code. you start the game thru steam, select the option to log in your frontier account which should link them, and then enjoy the ride.

since you are having a lot of drama with getting the game to work, just submit a refund request and find something else to play. if the auto refund system causes you problems, simply select the purchase, then select "I have a question" and make your request there. dont fill the ticket with a bunch of meaningless dribble, just keep it simple and straight forward, unable to get the game to work and would like a refund.

yea it will NOT let me link accounts at all and idk what im doin ...

Unfortunately there's no help for stupidity.
