Update:
So I tried the website again, this time without the VPN hiccup. Went through the process again and managed to chat with a live agent and got a refund! All of it took like 10 minutes and it went really smooth!
Thank you everyone for your suggestions here.
P.S: I feel bad that after I clicked the "End Chat" button the survey page didn't load and I couldn't give the agent a good review cause he was really helpful :(
====================================
Original OP:
I know it's pretty much known that Sony's support is abysmal but man, I didn't know it was this bad.
I don't want to go on and on and make a huge OP that no one reads, so long story short, I've been trying to get a refund for CP2077 for the past couple of hours (maybe even more) and not only my experience has been awful but I've gotten nowhere.
So I chat with the PlayStation bot and answer the typical questions it has. After answering all of them, I'm given a support ID and I'm told that I should call them and it's faster that way. (I had no option to do live chat at that time)
Try calling, estimated wait time: 60 fucking minutes
After 1 hour and 45 minutes of waiting on hold (while the bot on the phone is saying that you should do this through live chat cause that's faster... sigh), I try to contact online support again and do all the stupid bot questions for like the 4th time. This time I do get a live-chat option (though the bot tells me again that calling is faster.... sigh 2.0).
I fill the form and request a chat..... standby.... "you've been blocked from chat"
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?! This is my first fucking time trying to do this shit!
"Well, maybe that was a weird error" I thought. So let's try this stupid bot again. Answer the questions. Pick live chat. Fill the form. Standby...
FUCK OFF SONY!
Man, I'm frustrated. I pre-ordered CP2077 with PSN Cards, so this is the only method that I can use for a refund and it's fucking bullshit.
