"Just buy the game on Steam": Indie publisher behind a recent banger that sold 300k copies in its first week warns against key resellers after canceling hundreds of scalped keys
Indie publisher tinyBuild has revoked hundreds of illegitimate game keys for their recently released title, ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs, after it sold 300,000 copies in its first week. CEO Alex Nichiporchik urged players to purchase games through official channels like Steam, warning that keys bought from shady resellers are often obtained through regional pricing discrepancies and can be deactivated. While some legitimate keys from Green Man Gaming were mistakenly revoked, replacements are being issued.
