    Why on earth are they doing this now? What spurred this on? A rise in fraud cases or something?
    Anyway, shout out to all the people who preordered Dawntrail and won't be able to sub to play it.

    Including Zepla since she had to move from Ukraine. Really not fair that.

    Are SE really going to stick to their guns with this and prevent even popular content creators from playing Dawntrail?

    A lot of these changes were made due to the fact that Square has been dealing with an extremely high number of fraud cases relating to RMT since they operate on stolen CC numbers to get their keys.
    So much so that their old payment processor was threatening to drop them if they couldn't get it under control. The problem is, they really couldn't without doing some extremely draconian things, so not only they had to change payment processors, they still have to do what they can to make it harder for RMT to get access to keys to prevent their new payment processor from repeating history.

    So not only did they have to change payment processors to a much..."worse" one, they're also implementing measures to try and restrict RMT as they can. The unfortunate fallback to this is that it has screwed over plenty of legitimate customers due to their very archaic account system setup, but for Square, screwing over some of their playerbase is a better alternative in the short term while they figure stuff out than to getting dropped by a payment processor and being royally screwed on getting payments at all.

    Believe me, no sane company would willingly sabotage their ability to make money if they could prevent it.
