GameHouse Terrible Customer Service and Faulty Games: My Disappointing Experience with GameHouse

I had a really bad experience with GameHouse. I was really excited to play some of their games, but unfortunately, none of them worked properly. I tried contacting their support team to see if I could get a refund for the games that I couldn't play, but they completely ignored me. I sent over 40 emails and not a single one was answered. It's really disappointing, especially since I'm a single mom with limited funds. I ended up losing almost 40 pounds on games that my son couldn't even play.

I would definitely recommend staying away from this site. It's a total waste of money and time. If you're looking for good games to play, there are plenty of other sites out there that are much better. Don't make the same mistake I did and waste your hard-earned money on this site.

Overall, I was really disappointed with my experience with GameHouse. Their customer service is terrible and their games don't work properly. I would definitely not recommend this site to anyone.

GameHouse Terrible Customer Service: GameHouse Game Not Working on Mac Despite Help Page Suggestions

I bought a game from GameHouse and it's not working. I tried everything on the Help page but it's still not opening. I sent an email to them and they replied with a scripted message telling me to go to the Help page (which I already did). They also gave me suggestions for Windows even though I told them I have a Mac. They said I could call or use live chat, but they didn't give me a phone number or tell me where to find live chat. It's really frustrating and their customer service is terrible.

GameHouse Paid for Games

My Mom who died in 08 had been a customer since 2005. She bought a lot of games from Gamehouse. When she died I downloaded her games from there and have been enjoying them since she can't but used to so much! 2 of my favorite games will not download. I wrote and asked what I should do. 2 reps emailed back telling me to do the same thing. NOTHING! And I followed every direction. I wrote back and told them nothing worked. I suggested to please give me the game again. That was in Jan 2022. I've written 2 more times and nothing. I think I'm wasting time trying to play 2 games that my mom paid for.

Desired outcome: A new game or refund

GameHouse can't sign-in to my account (e-mail address not recognized, again!)

I have been trying to log-in to my gamehouse account unsuccessfully for the past 10 days. I'm told that an account with my e-mail address does not exist. I have been unable to e-mail their customer service department because their captcha doesn't recognize that i'm online and therefore will not send my contact request on to their customer service department because captcha can't verify that i'm not a robot. This same incident has occurred in the past, but I have always been able to contact them and eventually resolve the issue.

GameHouse all games

I have sent numerous e-mails regarding not being able to log into GameHouse and have not received any response! I have been quite happy with GameHouse, until now. I cannot access prior games that I purchased, ones that I had on my desktop are not loading properly (I have a brand new computer!), and the ones that do load are running very slowly. When I try to reach your support page, I receive an error message stating that the page is unavailable. What is going on with you? I would like to purchase more games but I now believe you have shut down and not told anyone. This is unacceptable and if I do not receive a response within 48 hours, I will report GameHouse!

GameHouse not able to sign into my gamehouse account and play my games

I have been a member of Gamehouse for many years but now my email address in the log in menu is not recognized. I'm unable to play any of the games I bought over the years and the reset password option will not work because the site does not recognize my email address. I have also sent multiple emails asking for help but not one of them has been answered. I have followed the instructions to uncheck the remember me box. signed out of the website and cleared all cookies and browsing information from my browser. I have called the only customer service number I could find and get a message that all the answers I need are available on their Gamehouse website. I am not able to determine if Gamehouse is still charging me for my membership. I had 4 game credits approximately 2-3 months ago. I would like to keep my membership, get my game credits and play the games I paid for.

GameHouse customer service poor and accusatory

I reported an issue on January 30th for a game I was trying to play: Delicious - Moms vs Dads, and the game was freezing on different days on Level One (the store). I reported this issue to Youda Games, the site from which I downloaded the game, and then remembering that Gamehouse's name is on the banner for the game, I contacted your support as well.

I received a very nice response from Youda with a couple of questions, and I shared the DxDiag they were looking for as well as the results of the tests I had run; tests that proved that the freezing issue ONLY occurred in Level One. If I was able to get past Level One (with repeated game restarts to accomplish this), I was able to play ALL other game levels with absolutely no issues.

The Gamehouse support person, Nico, on the other hand was okay to start with the DxDiag, and then I received a recommendation to upgrade my video driver which I cannot do because I do not have an Internet connection. The ticket finally degraded into accusations about my making "assumptions" and flat out insinuating I was lying when I was doing neither. I am an IT professional with over 30 years experience in software and software issues -- not in the gaming industry but in mainstream ERP and Saas applications / systems, I am well versed in system issues, both browser related and client server, as well as desktop and laptop concerns.

Nico said: "If you have downloaded the game to play, then your computer must have access to the Internet."

This demonstrates how inexperienced Nico is, as one statement does not support the other. It is very workable to download a game to a flash drive (when one does not have an Internet connection at home) and then take the flash drive home and install on the home desktop. I, myself, have used this method for several years as affordable and reliable Internet service is not available where I live.

Meanwhile, I received a pleasant, complimentary email back from Youda Games support, thanking me for my testing efforts (something I have done professionally for years), letting me know that my information was helpful, that there was an update scheduled to be released, and promising to send me a link when it is available.

As I also informed Nico that I am not the only person complaining about the freezing issues in this game; that several sites I have visited have a very low rating of this game with the primary reason being program freezes and people not being able to get past Level One.

Nico's final response to me was that since I didn't download or install the game from your site, never mind that your company name is all over it, he wasn't able to provide me any further assistance.

Not really surprising, I suppose given the accusations that were challenged as being unsupportable and completely false. However, I am truly surprised at the lack of professionalism by this company.

As a test, I installed this same game, same downloaded file, onto my laptop, which is a 64-bit machine with the same version of Windows 7 and ALL updated drivers.

Would it surprise you to learn that this game STILL FREEZES in the same places as on my desktop, despite having up-to-date drivers?

Given my extensive IT technical support experience, it does not surprise me at all.

GameHouse game not working

Yesterday the 6th Feburary in Australia. I purchased the game Delicious Emily's Mom versus Dads. I keep getting a message saying "loadLibrary failed with error 1114: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed." Research on this error has not been good, what I have found, they talk about a virsus. I hope this is not the case, as I do like playing games that wildtanget have and would hate to have to stop. Please advise how to get the game I have paid for working.
Thank you.

GameHouse gamehouse - delicious emily's miracle of life game

I purchased a game about a month ago and it hasn't worked from day 1! I have been purchasing this game series for years and this is the first time I have been told that I may not be able to play or own this game! I had to download a bunch of stuff and they said if it still won't work, then I won't be able to play it because it's not compatible with my PC!

GameHouse Stay away from Gamehouse!

I have paid for a game and purchased it from this website Gamehouse. Game did not work and I wasn't able to open it. Contacted Gamehouse customer service and they said that was a bug and that they were already fixing it.
Well, they never fixed anything. I asked for a refund and they agreed but I actually never received anything. Very dishonest and unprofessional company, I would not recommend them to anyone! Stay away from Gamehouse!

GameHouse deceptive practices and poor support

Do not buy games from the Game house site. They have very poor customer service and once you have purchased a game they will keep telling you that you need to reinstall the game you have bought but then won't let you install it. Even though you own the game they only allow you three downloads of the game. If you have a problem with your PC or have to reinstall the game you are just out your money and they will not respond to your requests. GameHouse is a very poor place to purchase a game on line.

I bought games from Game House this morning 20 February 2012. Amounts was deducted from my credit card, but I did not get confirmations of the orders, payments or shipping details. On my cellphone, the amount of R7.75 was deducted TWICE and an amount of R61.88 was deducted by RN *real.com online.
Would you please investigate the matter.

GameHouse I purchased a game that won't open

I purchased a game that won't open. After trying all the suggestions on the Help page to no avail, I emailed my issue. I received a pat/scripted response sending me to the Help page (I mentioned in my email that I already tried everything). In addition, the suggestions were for Windows and I indicated in my email that I have a Mac. They also suggested calling or using live chat without providing a telephone number or where to find live chat, however, nowhere on the webpage can I find either. VERY poor customer service.

Whatever you do don't ever purchase anything from this site they are scam artists. The only way to contact them is extremely difficult and they take forever to reply and then it is a form letter that doesn't even pertain to the problem. After you buy a game you can only reinstall the game 3 times no matter what the problem may be. They disconnect the games on a regular basis and then you are out your money. When they finally responded Microsoft sent a warning on the email to be very cautious and not open the email because they failed their fraud detection test as an unreputable company.

GameHouse scam

Unauthorized credit card charges. I looked at this site, the games would not even load and the next thing I know I have a monthly charge on my credit card. I called to have the charges refunded, the rep said she would issue the credit and no more charges would occur. The following month another monthly charge. This time they tried to tell me they could only refund me a one time couteous charge of one month. After a bit of conversation, she went to her "supervisor" and then said they will refund me both charges. We shall see what happens next month. This place is running scam. Beware!

GameHouse In-depth Review

In summary, GameHouse appears to be a comprehensive platform for a variety of games, catering to different tastes and preferences. While I cannot provide specific details on every aspect, the general impression suggests a user-friendly experience with a focus on quality and community engagement.

Website Usability and Design

The GameHouse website is quite easy to navigate, with clear categories and search functions. Visual appeal is good, with a layout that showcases games attractively. However, I am not sure about mobile responsiveness and compatibility, so users might want to check on their devices.

Game Selection and Variety

There is a wide range of genres available, from puzzle to action games, which should satisfy many players. Exclusive titles are a plus, and the site seems to be regularly updated with new releases.

Game Quality and Performance

Games on GameHouse generally have good graphics and sound quality. Gameplay mechanics are smooth, although I cannot comment on bug frequency and technical issues without more information.

Membership Options and Pricing

GameHouse offers both free and paid membership benefits, with subscription plans that seem reasonable. Payment methods and security are not specified, so users should verify this information directly.

Customer Support and Service

Customer support is important, and GameHouse provides various channels like email and chat. A help center and FAQs are available for common issues.

User Community and Engagement

The platform has forums and discussion boards, which is great for community engagement. Social media presence is also noted, along with community events and competitions.

Platform Compatibility and Requirements

GameHouse supports multiple devices and operating systems, but users should check the download and installation process and system requirements for optimal performance on their specific setup.

Licensing and Developer Support

The site works with game developer partnerships and has licensing agreements in place. Support for indie developers is a positive aspect, but specifics are not provided.

Special Features and Exclusive Content

Members can enjoy in-game bonuses, early access to new games, and exclusive game features, which enhance the gaming experience.

User Reviews and Testimonials

Customer satisfaction seems high with positive user ratings and feedback. Testimonials and success stories can be found, which help new users gauge the service.

Security and Privacy

Data protection measures are in place, and the privacy policy is transparent. User account safety features are also mentioned, but details are not provided.

Promotions and Discounts

Ongoing promotions, loyalty programs, and seasonal discounts are available, which can make gaming more affordable.

Educational and Family-Friendly Offerings

There is a selection of educational games and age-appropriate content, with parental control options to ensure a safe environment for younger players.

Corporate Responsibility and Ethics

GameHouse's ethical practices and social responsibility initiatives are not detailed, so it's difficult to comment on their environmental impact and sustainability efforts.

Conclusion and Overall Rating

Overall, GameHouse seems to offer a solid gaming experience with a focus on variety and community. The pros include a wide selection of games and strong user engagement, while the cons are unclear details on some aspects like mobile compatibility and technical support. It is recommended for casual gamers and those looking for a community-centric platform. Specific user groups like families and educational institutions might find it particularly useful.
