A large number of gamers who were caught in the middle of a dispute between Ubisoft and an online retailer after numerous copies of Far Cry 4 were purchased from the outlet using fraudulent credit cards. As a result, the publisher revoked access to anyone who had purchased a copy of the game acquired by illegal means. Deciding not to punish those who inadvertently purchased the stolen merchandise from a third party retailer, unaware that it was effectively stolen merchandise, Game Informer reports that Ubisoft has reactivated any key that had actually been used to play Far Cry 4 .
