I mean what did they expect? Make something their players really want. But only supply to a small portion of them based on region. Then they go and make a ridiculously easy code to crack.
And you really think someone couldn't get a working code if they buy one that's been redeemed? No, there's a plan in place for that very thing.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong. But it would have been expected with plans in place. This isn't the first digital item / code to get exploited. I'm just surprised they made it so easy for people to have cracked it so quick.
The fact is though its morally wrong and not only that illegal.
The scumbags doing this should be held to account, or at the very least the morons spreading the way to do it forum banned.
Well some of their practices are morally wrong too. I mean they did do 3 years of psych evals in testers in order to incite this very thing. A desperate desire for items which can be purposefully just out of reach.
I wouldn't call researching your target market and using the results morally wrong.
Every company does it, even Facebook conduct social experiments on users.
Well it was beyond researching the target audience. Pretty far beyond. And because others do it doesn't mean it's morally right. That's just why I say they reap what they sow. Create demand, lock off large player base. So of course people will try to cheat it. That's why codes should be harder than 8 characters with 5 unique characters in random order. Seems purposefully easy actually.
