I cannot provide a definitive answer to whether you can resell your Star Citizen account back to CIG (Cloud Imperium Games), the developers of Star Citizen. There is no official mechanism within the game or through CIG's support channels for reselling accounts. CIG's terms of service strongly discourage and likely prohibit account reselling.
While some players may attempt to sell their accounts through third-party platforms, this carries significant risks:
-
Violation of Terms of Service: Reselling accounts is almost certainly against CIG's terms of service, which could lead to account suspension or permanent closure. Your investment and progress would be lost.
-
Scams: The secondhand market for game accounts is rife with scams. You may pay and never receive the account, or the account may be stolen and recovered by the original owner.
-
Security Risks: Sharing your account information with a third party creates significant security risks, leaving your personal data vulnerable.
-
No Guarantee of Refund or Support: If any problems arise with the resold account, you won't have recourse through CIG's official support channels. CIG is unlikely to assist with disputes related to unauthorized account sales.
In short: While the desire to recoup your investment is understandable, attempting to resell your Star Citizen account is generally not advisable due to the legal, financial, and security risks involved.
Instead of trying to resell, consider:
-
Taking a break from the game: If you're not enjoying Star Citizen currently, take a break and come back later. The game is constantly evolving.
-
Selling in-game assets: Some in-game items and ships might have market value within the game's economy (though this is subject to fluctuations). However, be aware of the risks involved in trading with other players.
Ultimately, the safest and most responsible approach is to abide by CIG's terms of service and refrain from attempting to resell your account.
