I do not understand why publishers don’t cancel the keys. Why do they allow that parasitic industry to exist? Surely they know which key corresponds to a chargeback?

I don't think the majority of those keys are from stolen credit cards. A lot of them are just purchased in countries where the game is extremely cheap then resold for a profit.

Ok. So. That doesn’t seem so bad to me.

Nothing is ever bad as places like this make it out to be. Reddit had (probably still has) the same propensity for hysteria.
