Unfortunately, that specific pedantry is the entire legal construct used to prop up crypto schemes like this. It’s that extra layer of red tape to make things that would otherwise be criminal instead just cringe.

A framework that Funcom has embraced and that forms the foundation upon which their entire current monetization is based… which is the crux of why newer cosmetics aren’t available without authenticating thru the live services.

Keep in mind, this is the same Funcom that recently decided to hostage the accounts of those who had the audacity of buying their crypto while it was on sale. Oh, it was a mistake. Of course. Certainly. Absolutely weren’t testing to see if they could milk more funds out of verified spenders while simultaneously going after people who figured out how their crypto works.
