A Nvidia promotion until Oct. 30 offers players who purchase the Nvidia GTX 1070 or 1080 graphics cards a free copy of GOW 4 on PC and Xbox One. However, some scammers have been tricking the system to think that they bought a graphics card to gain a copy of the game.
On Saturday, it became apparent that a lot of these codes were gained illegitimately and Nvidia is revoking them.
“We detected some Gears 4 Windows 10 keys were obtained illegitimately via our NVIDIA promotion,” said Coalition Pez-radar, a Microsoft mod on the Neogaf forum . “We have gone ahead and revoked keys that fell in this bucket. If you believe your key was incorrectly revoked, we highly recommend you contact NVIDIA support with proof of purchase to help out with this.”
If you bought a game code for Gears of War 4 off of eBay or another third-party seller, your code might not work. If you bought a code recently, I would check to make sure that it’s legit. Codes purchased with a paypal account can be disputed and it’s highly possible that you could get your money back. Don’t let scammers take advantage of you.
Gears Of War 4 comes out on Oct. 11 on PC and Xbox One, so you’ll have to wait until then to play legitimately.
