There’s… no details at all other than “it’s happening”?

Why even announce this with no details, Knowing it’s gonna piss people off? What were sag-aftra and Replica hoping for here?

I mean that might be true, but those key reseller sites are also often grey-market. Sometimes they are legit, but sometimes they resell keys they bought with stolen credit cards etc.

I personally wouldn’t buy from a site that I couldn’t easily verify is legit (steam, gog, hb, etc)

Multiple indie developers I’ve seen (wube who makes factorio has been very vocal about it) have complained about losing significant amounts of money from grey/black market keys since they end up being on the hook for fees when people do credit card chargebacks.

He already did that with the Tesla models

S3XY

Then they’d have a harder time charging $2/month for it.
