Okay but then you are still a liar if you pretend to be a content creator so you can source free keys to flip. Why is a dev not allowed to be upset when they got duped by a liar?

I do not care, even in the slightest about a marketing departments "losses" from issuing CD keys.

Not even in the slightest. Its the cost of doing business.

No other industry, not even the software industry, gets to do this.

Unilever sends me some shit to review? They're not allowed to be upset about the eventual fate of those things.

CD keys are property, and property is tradable.

Just because the original intent is X or Y, doesn't mean dick for shit.

If they didn't like it, maybe they shouldn't issue so many free copies.
