"To clarify, one of our PC retail distributors informed us that some of their allotted Steam keys were stolen. We believe these keys were then resold to multiple companies, with no payments going to either Valve or the retail distributor."

Yeah, the sites where you've bought your keys are pretty legit of course... They bought stolen keys, but it's Rebellion's fault.
Buy your games on LEGIT AND AUTHORIZED sellers website the next time, you will avoid to lost your money, instead of just paying $5 less.

Bullshit.

Don't ever buy from unauthorized key resellers, or be prepared for this to happen to you.

Hi.
I would like to know only 1 thing.
What was the name of the site you (or your trader) bought the keys? g2a? kingpin(or whatever is it called)? or something like this?

Public Service Announcement ;) lol

Got my fingers crossed for you buddy.

GMG is a very reputable company, you shouldn't have to worry at all about them. This most likely only has to do with the random unknown companies that sell keys and you shouldn't have to worry about ones like GMG or GOG for example.

I dont think it has anything to do with AMD keys. It sounds like the keys that were revoked were from one key resller called SimplyCDKeys

Needless to say, this is causing a fair bit of drama.

Nope.

Yeah, I was on the threads before they edited one - not "some" - post. They did so in order to improve the wording of the post. But, you know, you can try and find this suspicious or "interesting enough".

They did offer to grant a free pre-order DLC to people that have bought stolen keys. They didn't have to. They changed the wording of the post to stress on the fact that, in order to get the free DLC, you have to buy from Steam directly in order for them to be able to see where the order originates from, as they cannot check other sellers - even legit ones.

This is why you don't buy from unauthorized resellers.

Finally some unbiased approach.

/sarcasm

edit : I read it entirely, that's awesome, I love the way they put it, thanks for posting. They do post on Steam forums too, you should have a look at it. Some guy with VAC bans, supposedly "CEO" of one of these companies is copy-pasting a rebellious statement all over the place. Hopefully this all wakes people up and they learn not to buy from these sites.

Yea I just saw this. The amount of drama that is building is ridiculous.

I do feel for the people who were trying to save a buck by buying from a key reseller, but this blame game is all hearsay at the moment.

Its doubly sad because the game is really well done. If you liked V2 as I did, you'll like 3 even more. Everything seems to be improved.

bullshit article. He's basing and accusing rebellion that they have revoked GMG keys from a forum post without showing a proof of purchase that they key came from GMG.

The article maybe be only true though on those shady RU cd-key retailers
