Psyringe: However, come to think of it, it's possible that the shop uses this system to prevent exploits. I've heard that the promo code can be used only once per account, but it could be that it's actually "once per credit card", which would keep people from making a dozen accounts and get every game in the lower price tiers for free.
p_mamusz: Speaking of which, the system has been _totally exploited_ in the last 18 hours or so now, to the point where SteamGifts is flooded with Zeit2/Mad Riders/Babel Rising+DLC/RUSE+2DLCs/Shoot Many Robots/Bloody Good Time steam key giveaways. I hear you cant get codes for some of those games now, because UbiShop just ran out of keys for them. :O The catch was, that you did not need to add a payment method or authorise your new account in any way(not even an email check!), so creating dozens of accounts with false info, and getting a steam key instantly displayed with the discount code was extremely easy.
So UbiShop essentially repeated the
US Origin blunder that happened 3 weeks ago. Question is, will they suck it up, or go on a witch hunt?
Market forces often conspire against such behaviour, mind you. When people misuse the system in this way and generate huge amounts of supply, it causes supply to outstrip demand massively and brings their trading value down to practically nothing.
So basically, these people will have spent several hours collecting all these keys for nothing.
