  1. Steam Controller launched, was sold out in less than 2 hours, and now they're all listed on eBay for 3x the price

    FUCK THE SCALPERS

    Do the God's work - report scalper listings, as they don't have the product they're selling

  2. También os digo, las tiendas no son estúpidas y se están blindando un poco y, como veis en el pantallazo, limitan el número de ítems por persona...

    Eso si, nada impide a un cabrón motivado el hacerse 7 cuentas distintas… O como se ha visto en sitios como The Gundam Base (donde tienen muchos kits exclusivos que SOLO se pueden comprar allí) tienes aun pavo motivado que va entra, compra, sale, y vuelve a hacer todo otra vez para volver a pasar por caja… Porque la limitación es de 'items por compra' y no de 'veces que puedes comprar'.

  3. #Britain to #outlaw #resale of live event #tickets
    "UK is set to ban the resale of tickets for live events such as #music #concerts, shows & #sports at inflated prices, tackling the scourge of #scalpers who use #technology to snap up tickets for popular events.. The initial price for a standard non-seated ticket for te #Oasis shows in #UK was £148. Te average resale price was £1,070🤦‍♂️"
    >👍All countries ought to ban ticket resellers & scalpers for the sake of #socialjustice.

  4. While 1) banning the resale of legally purchased tickets should be illegal and 2) TIcketmaster totally deserves this, I wonder if anyone told them that every time the barcode changes it’s a separate felony charge under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?

    By reverse-engineering how Ticketmaster and AXS actually make their electronic tickets, scalpers have essentially figured out how to regenerate specific, genuine tickets that they have legally purchased from scratch onto infrastructure that they control. In doing so, they are removing the anti-scalping restrictions put on the tickets by Ticketmaster and AXS.

  6. @noiq Personally, I think that #FirefoxOS was good per very concept.

    It just so happened that @mozilla really #kneecapped it for no good reason.
