Think of who you're hurting before you consider piracy.

- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Acting pathetic doesn't solve your problems.
See it doesn't matter how keys are generated as they're sold on an individual basis. Thus You can keep track of the exact credit card transaction that was used to buy each key. If You don't save this information linked to each other then it's your fault as the store manager. Don't try to shift a problem of sales management to the customer. It doesn't solve your problem but makes you looking yuck.
Again, devs don't have access to the customer credit card data, there are laws, banks aren't allowed to share that certain personal information. Devs aren't retailers, they don't manage the store. By law, the store manager is NOT allowed to share certain information. That's why keys were invented in the first place. But even if the developers knew which key corresponds to a reversed card transaction, why would you punish the person who got scammed? Do you also advocate for prison time for theft victims? It is the stupidest argument to make. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You don't understand the problem and instead of accepting your ignorance, you double down on your own stupidity. Stop, get help.
I never wrote that devs have access to cc information, but sales departement has. This is due to information responsibilities of the cc service when they reverse transactions.
Anyways, following your argumentation: how does it make sense for the store to punish the devs when on the other hand it doesn't make sense (for you) to punish the customer? And why the heck do devs still blame customers but not the shop? Remember: the shop is selling keys and it is the shops work to keep track of payment information.
Sorry to say but your logic is still yuck.
Exactly, it doesn't make sense that the devs are left with the transaction fees. But it's the way it is set up legally speaking right now. That's why most devs suggest to people to please pirate the game instead of using resellers and risking a scam. They are being kind with users and not banning keys or users, because it's technically almost impossible and makes no ethical sense.
But by now you've proven to be too stupid and/or immoral to understand the point. So I'm going to stop wasting my time with you and stop replying.
It's not set up this way legally, it is set up this way because devs and sales commited to this practice. Still devs are trying to blame the customers for a problem that is clearly originated on the sales management side.
Btw. this is not about morality but about legality and the lack of responsibility at the sales-side, trying to play this card is just a sign of you going out of arguments and ... I wrote this already... does make your POV look yuck.
Anyways, appreciated our lil discussions so thx for your time, live long and prosper!
