I got a place on the 512GB with Controller list, and got an email a few days after they started. I ordered it on Friday the 3rd and got it today on Thursday the 9th. The tracking codes were all over the place and gave different estimates depending which branch of each company I used. Steam claimed it was shipped when the courier said they hadn’t got it so I was worried for a few days. But this morning Royal Mail (UK customer) sent me an email saying it would arrive today, while GLS said it would arrive tomorrow.
Safe to say I’m happy to have it now and be playing games!
This is a “no true Scotsman” argument. Name one law in the history of government that didn’t have potential for loopholes.
write an example
There is no clean and good way to write this law imho
When I say loopholes, I mean ones that further harm people affected by scalpers. It’s easy to say “oh, we’ll write a law”. The problem is writing one that doesn’t backfire completely.
Which is the problem with every law. If the caveat you’re pointing out is inherent to the system in which the solution is being proposed, it’s not a reason in itself not to try to improve things. You’re letting perfection get in the way of progress. I won’t write a fake law to satisfy some BS internet litmus test, precisely because I’m not a lawmaker. That doesn’t invalidate my opinion that this is a problem that should be solved. It also doesn’t keep Valve from putting some kind of anti-scalping clause in their terms and suing the shit out of people who violate it, which again, is civil law and has absolutely nothing to do with the hypothetical criminal law you’re asking for.
