Amazon is selling pirated digital copies of games

This isn't shocking, Amazon deals with knock-off physical goods as well.
There are a number of people who have bought counterfeit board games from Amazon, I've definitely gotten counterfeit clothing and cosmetic goods as well.
I *like* Amazon, but they need to get a handle on this stuff or it will eventually harm their business model.

I'm not sure why people would buy digital copies of games off of Amazon in the first place, I always think of it as a place to get physical items myself.
Because for years they have offered people Steam/PSN/Xbox Live codes with no trouble whatsoever, and good prices.
But doesn't it make more sense to just cut the middle man and go to them directly?
Yep just got an email for an extra $10 gift card in addition to the $10 courtesy credit they gave earlier.
I'll take it.
I'll take it.

I mean if the middle man is offering the code for cheaper than going directly to the source I'm not sure why you'd want to cut them out.

That's assuming that the product is legit, which it used to be, and now might not be ala this thread.
But yeah I understand, adding more people to a process almost never results in it getting cheaper lol
I have tried running the uninstall and its not working...
Anyone have trouble removing the game? I just want to get rid of it now
I just had bought Battle Chasers, and just got a refund for the $2.99. I did not get a gift card for 10$ as far as I can tell, but I never contacted Amazon or downloaded the game.
Got that $10, phew.
Deals, having Amazon credit, lack of tax. Also the difference between this and typical digital purchases is this was selling the content directly as offering a key to redeem on another platform.
