- mindslight 6y agoI don't know what you mean. Someone who wanted a key would have to buy one that wasn't fraudulently obtained, thus supporting the developer. The seller in fraudulent transaction would still have to eat the chargeback fee, but it would be a better overall result than now where the fraudster profits. Eventually they would do this quick enough that it would become pointless to attempt the fraud, thus reducing the chargebacks.
- slavik81 6y agoThe fraudster profits regardless of whether the key is revoked or not, because they sell the key to some sucker before the fraud is discovered. The fraud is discovered when somebody looks at their credit card statement and notices the unexpected charge, so the game developer has a very limited ability to revoke fraudulently obtained keys more quickly.
