Just go the following e-mail from Bethesda regarding my ESO account.
I didn't bought a Steam key, I activated my key via their own website. Got my key from gamesdeal.com, payed a normal price for it ($40). Just like I did with some other games, never had any problems. This is the first time I got an e-mail from a company stating that my key is somehow fraudulent and that they will deactivate my account based on that.
Can they just do that, leaving my account deactivated? Aren't they the ones that should be dealing with the resellers not me, the customer?
Greetings,
We are contacting you to advise you that the game key associated with your The Elder Scrolls® Online: Tamriel Unlimited account has been identified as a compromised key that was originally obtained fraudulently and then re-sold to you. Because of this, your account will be deactivated on Tuesday, May 26th. We encourage you to contact the retailer who sold it to you as well as your credit card company for a refund.
To continue playing The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited after May 26, you must either apply a valid game key or purchase the game directly from The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited PC/Mac Store to regain access to your account. All your characters, progress, and other game information will be retained, so after you reactivate your account with a valid key, you can continue your adventures.
Weve recently seen an increase in the sale of fraudulently obtained digital game keys for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. Unscrupulous people engaging in this black market activity purchase Steam keys in bulk using stolen credit cards, and then resell them to unsuspecting consumers.
Fraudulently obtained keys obtained via Steam and then re-sold via third-party websites is a violation of both our and Steams Terms of Service.
We understand that your characters and progress are important to you, and your account will remain available for use once a new legitimate key is applied. To avoid unknowingly purchasing a stolen digital Steam game key for ESOTU, we urge you to please only purchase digital game keys for ESOTU from official retailers. Please click here to see our list of authorized retailers or visit our online store here.
