PC Gamer: The Pokémon Company is turning to facial recognition scans to help combat scalpers. “Nintendo has announced the rollout of a facial recognition system and new entry and purchase rules for its Pokémon stores in Japan. It’s not exactly a last-ditch effort, but it’s yet another attempt at combating scalpers which have been plaguing the hobby ever since its inception.”

Pokemon Cards shouldn't be worth your privacy!

Scalpers Target Pokémon Pop-Tarts, Selling Them For Up To Eight Times Their Worth

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'.

🎟️💰 Oh, surprise, surprise! Ticketmaster—shocker here—collaborated with #scalpers to inflate prices. Because apparently, selling concert tickets at reasonable prices just wasn't challenging enough for them. 🙄 #ScalpMaster #WhoKnew

Oh wow, CAPTCHAs are dead in ticketing! 🎉🎟️ Because nothing says "we've mastered complex technology" like finally admitting that those squiggles and blurry images were useless against #bots and #scalpers. Congrats, tech world, you've solved a problem two years after it stopped being relevant! 🥳👏

Please Remember if you are searching for a Switch 2 (or any other shiny new tech) to not give in and pay the Scalper's exorbitant prices. They only do that crap because it makes them a ton of money if one gives in and pays it. Let them be left holding a ton of them when it hits the point of you could walk in to a store on a whim and pick one up.
