In my recent video about DRM on physical games rendering them useless, I mentioned that I kept seeing Wildstar for sale *years* after the servers were offline. I not so subtly indicated this is probably fraud, but I just realized something about this particular case...

This was fraud against Walmart.

The publisher's destroyed all value of the product before the retailer could sell it, and I bet Walmart didn't know about that risk when they bought these.

@TechTangents This is a real good angle - fraud against consumers is kind of a freebie for dodgy businesses, but if you're defrauding a multi-billion dollar corporate entity, that's the kind of crime that actually has consequences!
