The keys have appeared for sale by people how purchased cards then cancelled their orders only to still receive the keys later which they went on to sell. Scumbags. This is why you don't give out that type of stuff prior to payment. Hopefully some vendors learn from this obvious mistake.

some people can be real scum. I know back in the day I got an orange box code with a video card, I gave it to a friend since I had already bought the orange box on steam, but stealing the keys and then selling them, what scum

You guys have to understand that the blame falls onto the vendors for thinking it was a good idea to give out the keys without people actually receiving the product.. You're telling me not a single person saw this coming? Too much faith in humanity I guess

This reminds me of something that happened years ago. GameSpot was doing a live stream at an event and a developer gave a beta key to a "fan" during the event. The kid acted all excited but the next day he was trying to sell it to people on the show floor. His key was quickly revoked when the developer found out. :)

I have no faith in humanity because no one raises kids these days to have honor and integrity. Look at the millennial's to see what I speak of.

Hahaha um ya, it's a lot more than just "the millennials" that don't have honor and integrity. We haven't had that in a long time. If you think it's only "the millennials" that's pretty funny. Edit: you have your birth year as 1987, which makes you a "millennial"; are you saying that you have no honor or integrity?

I don't think he's only talking about millennials... He said "Look at the millennials" as an example rather than saying they're the only ones.
