Ubisoft Enabling Fraudulent Far Cry 4 Keys For Customers Already Playing

Ubisoft Enabling Fraudulent Far Cry 4 Keys For Customers Already Playing

Oh Ubisoft, arrange these things BEFORE you make any harsh decisions that directly impact your end-users, not afterwards. Ubisoft is enabling the keys again that have been disabled last week. 

Ubisoft has continued to investigate the matter and has amended its decision. “After further investigation into the matter of keys that were fraudulently purchased on EA's Origin store, we are reinstating keys for consumers who already had successfully activated and started playing the games,” a representative told us via email. “Any remaining fraudulently obtained and resold keys have been deactivated.”

The publisher says it will continue to deactivate fraudulently purchased keys in the future. “We are working with EA to prevent situations like this from happening again, and we will continue to deactivate keys that are found to be fraudulently obtained and resold,” we have been told. “We strongly recommend that players purchase keys and downloadable games only from the Uplay shop or trusted retailers.”

Retailers Kinguin and G2A both issued statements on the matter in January when their customers reported that keys purchased from the sites were made inactive. You can read our previous coverage for more on this story.

Makes me wonder how many unwitting people continue to buy and worse still preorder their products. Their share value is rising and they have already recovered from the disaster launch of ACU.

Does anything slow this company down?

I said to me lots of times I wouldn't buy an Ubi game again, but those gameplays with elephants made me buy the game :lol:... Now, after removing the game from my ubi library with 50-60% progress, I promise myself I don't want Ubi again.

I mean, it's not ubi fault that someone stole those keys and sold them, It is more about the way they dealed the problem with me: removing the game from my library without any info.

Rgrds!
