I think the industry has a lot more at risk financially with the cheap foreign key sites eventually devaluing games if they continue unhindered.
This is a problem, because a lot of those keysites are legit and legal. Though a lot of them steal keys, the bigger ones do buy legal retail games in bulk, which is why they are able to present cheaper prices. That, by itself, is not illegal in any way.
Its not because they buy in bulk. They buy the games from china or russia where they HAVE to be priced much cheaper than normal to compete with the pirated versions sold on every street corner. It's like buying the international version of a college text book. It tends to be identical in every way to buying whats here in the store.
Remember the flap over the orange box purchases where valve deleted the game from a lot of people's accounts because they bought the russian version but weren't from russia? Thats why. Its up to the individual company if they want to permit key activations such as this. I know valve can restrict key activations to certain regions, and I'm sure other companies can too if they want. |
