ID verification seems "sketchy"
Was told that I would get the digital download code 30 minutes to 2 hours after purchase. 2 and a half hours later, I get an email stating I need to verify my payment. I didn't give a credit card because I used paypal which as long as I have had a paypal account(since paypal started), it has been secure for payments. I have made thousands of payments with paypal. Never have I ever had to provide a copy of my Drivers License. Paypals website states not to do that. UGK states that some fraud alert triggered the verification. For a $10 purchase? If a hacker hacked my paypal account, they would have known my paypal username, my paypal password, and my CC code # to make a purchase. If they had all that and they were making a game purchase using my verified email address, let them have at it! In the end, I would have the digital download code in my verified email account and be playing the game by now... But no, I need to send my Driver's License to a company that I don't know for a $10 purchase. Thanks, but no thanks. I gave them two stars because they did refund my money in a timely manner. I really wish I was playing the game right now but I couldn't take the risk of sending my drivers license and dealing with identity theft.

Hello. Apologies for the inconvenient experience. Your payment was picked up by our security system which does not check how much you paid, that's not the factor it works on. Your payment was detected as risky therefore automatically you receive an email and being asked to verify your ownership over using the payment method that you have used. We have ALOT of unauthorized transactions which being detected in that exact way. Now that being said, we know that this is an inconvenience and sometimes there are false positives But what if its not, you wouldn't be too happy to find out someone been taking a ride with your payment solution buying half of the internet and dragging your account into negative balance and negative ranking/credit that would be a slightly more of an inconvenience than sending a student card or verifying your order by phone, getting your game and playing/enjoying it. Hopefully that makes the subject clearer. Thanks.
