    This is not true, keys are unique therefore it is technically very possible to track their way of payment.

      No there isnt. Find interviews from developers on this. They go deep and technical with the detail. They create the keys at a different time. Yes, they are unique. But they’re not associated with the payment, only to the user who claims them in a DRM platform. Only the retailer knows the payment details. If it’s a reseller with stolen cards, then no detail arrives to the developer, just a transaction then a transaction reversal. The developer doesn’t know which client owned the card that reversed the payment, nor which key was given by the retailer to the final customer.

        Them not being associated to the payment is the dev’s or better the store manager’s fault and not a technical limitation. Tbh as a dev, i would try to make the store manager follow his responsibilities to properly keep track of payments.

          Good luck with that champ. I’m sure you’re a special boy that you and you alone, will achieve what hundreds of small and large companies with whole teams of engineers and lawyers have not done in the past 15 years.

            I’m not going to do their work (as they’re not going to do mine) but good luck to You for defending the incapabilities of crybabies.

              No, no. You said you would do it. Don’t abandon us now. You, as a dev, are obviously superior and more capable than any of the hundreds of thousands of people who currently make up the industry. You are unique and special, help us for we are incapable and dysfunctional babies, effectively braindead without your almighty guidance. Your biggest and smoothest of brain is the only solution to this conundrum that trillion dollar companies are incapable of solving. You and only you can save the video games. You ARE the ultimate game dev. Don’t forsake us, great one!

                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 exakt 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.
