Actually getting help from customer support for a five-year-old computer game is even more implausible, especially when said game has a three-year old sequel competing for the support team's attention.

(A lot of people find wanting to reinstall a four-year-old game implausible, especially when they can't think of any ways that the older version was superior to the newer version, but I've got older games than that installed myself.)

Past experience shows that for every person who claims to have lost the CD key, there are three or four who openly admit that they're using a pirated copy of the game, which throws suspicion on all the other requests. That's why such requests draw such a hostile reaction.

It doesn't help, either, that "official" support requests are supposed to be submitted from "The Gamer's Front", which is a completely separate part of Shrapnel's website than these forums.
