The above statement doesn’t stand on its own, as the forum thread has 19 pages with over 180 posts at the time of writing, mostly with support for the OP. And don’t you think as I do, that maybe those people who actually PAY for the game (even though Ubisoft will make a few bucks less in Poland because I bought the game from…I don’t know, a…hungarian original retailer), will, in time, in frustration, after that sort of strategy and behaviour, after the way you made people buy not-finished games, will stop buying them at all or keep using less scrupulous retailers to get what they want? And nobody wants that.” – Voiced a user on the Ubisoft support forums “This is an outrageous and ridiculous way of doing business. The games are a lot cheaper there and the internet allows them to sell those keys digitally worldwide where the games cost more. Both are popular digital retailers based in Hong Kong that scan and/or photograph the keys from retail boxes. Reports are starting to surface that Ubisoft is killing Far Cry 4 copies bought through third-party resellers, namely G2Play and G2A.
They wanted to add weight to the described problem and attract people’s attention, so the site made a commitment to compensate the developers for the damage they got, despite the fact that they had nothing to do with the illegal provision of keys.Buying cheap game keys from third-party resellers might seem like a tempting opportunity, but one that doesn’t necessarily end the way one would have hoped. As an intermediary in transactions, they are forced to cover the costs associated with dishonest sales of the game. According to their blog, the fraud harms people who buy stolen keys, game developers, and GA2 as well. They say that when they launched this offer to pay compensation, they wanted to clearly tell the gaming community that fraud was detrimental to all parties.
On its official website, the GA2 platform commented on a refund. When the website offered cooperation to game developers, they announced its readiness to compensate for the losses for the sale of stolen activation codes in tenfold size. It is important to note that GA2 fulfilled its promise. This is an amount that is ten times higher than the cost of all keys sold. According to the Critical Hit portal, the store paid Wube Software $ 39,600.
