Fraudulent ESO Keys Banned [May 26, 2015, 4:42 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A post on
the Elder Scrolls Online website from last week explains that they've seen a
spike in the use of "fraudulently obtained" digital game keys for
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel
Unlimited, and are deactivating all game accounts created with "such
stolen keys" beginning today (thanks
HARDOCP). They have a very lengthy list of places to obtain legitimate keys,
and say that they are contacting those whose accounts are being closed with
instructions on how to go straight, albeit with an additional purchase. They
also explain the issue with the keys being revoked:
The companies selling stolen keys make a practice of using stolen credit cards, or misappropriating credit card information from their own customers to buy codes from legitimate retailers. Often these companies have the lowest price available anywhere for the digital item they are selling. Customers who purchase from these vendors are at increased risk for identity theft.
Extreme discounting below the published prices on our website may be a clue that the digital key purchased for the game may have been fraudulently obtained.

If they activated they're legitimate keys, it doesn't matter how they were purchased. That's a problem with the merchant software and for the CC companies. This sounds more like regional pricing protection bullshit than actual stolen keys. Fine, if that's the kind of party they want to have I'm going to stick my dick in the mashed potatoes.
I love how every time this happens a bunch of people come out screaming about how they're somehow being ripped off somehow by the developer.
Here's a tip, if you buy stolen goods, they can and will be revoked from you.
Here's another tip. Instead of blaming teh developer/publisher how about BLAMING THE STORE THAT SOLD YOU THE STOLEN GOODS IN THE FIRST PLACE. If you bought a tv from the bank of a van, then the cops come and reclaim it because it was stolen, you don't scream that Sony ripped you off do you? The tv was 'legit' when you bough it, it turned on right? So you can tell the cops that it's yours! See how far that gets you.
