That's sick and evil.

But so damn ingenious too.

not condoning it in any way but saying he's the scum of the earth or a faggot for "stealing" a key (it's not stealing if you give it away, scamming is more appropriate) is a wee bit silly. just a game, people. a game in beta. posting his e-mail in hopes that someone will spam/nuke/hack it isn't exactly taking the moral high ground either. just putting it in perspective.

That's all fine and good in theory, but don't play it off like a victimless crime here. I don't think Spartan implied he was taking the moral high ground whatsoever.


That's true, i didn't mean to play it off as a victimless crime. obviously the VG crew has lost a beta key here. the moral high ground comment wasn't for spartan as much as it was for the majority of the people in the thread that insult the scammer for his/her immoral actions but don't bat an eyelash for spartan's (there were a few exceptions though). like someone quoted earlier here, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind

Okay, good thing we're talking about one person and a beta key and an email and not the entire world's eyes.

Eh, I did bring it up kinda to one of the Blizzard CMs that I talk to semi-often. I was merely keeping the CM updated with how my contests were going (he asked to be informed of the winners and such). I didn't ask him to ban the person though, but did provide the key code that was given away.

I think his expression is suitable for the situation. I don't know why you're being facetious.

That's a nice resolution to the situation. Good thing you have that contact.

Edit2: I can't type apparently. In addition, I think it's ironic that I used situation twice in this post and one was a reply to Chill. The Situation.
