He has to put the disclaimer because he know people are stupid enough to still go through with it. You do not mess with fraud, at least in the US. Fraud is a big deal because it usually leaves a trail so it's pretty easy track down the account. And for liability reasons banks and payment processing will absolutely give that account up. Not to mention the potential damages they will absolutely use that person as an example.

Historically, fraudsters often receive a length of incarceration that makes child abuse sentencing look like a brief stint. Better yet, the companies you defrauded can still file civil suits on you beyond whatever criminal charges the state/fed pressed, so you might do 15 years just to get out and have any money you make heavily garnished for the rest of your life.

How you force companies to fix issues: make millions of people aware of the exploit. Suddenly, it's no longer a "fixing it costs us $100,000, but just dealing with a minor amount of customer service tickets costs us nothing" situation, suddenly it's a "we have two thousand people doing the exploits every minute now, CS is overworked, and companies are threatening to sue, this is gonna cost us millions if we don't fix it." And that's why some software engineers at Valve and PayPal are now working closely together and won't stop working until they solves these issues, getting themselves a negative mark on their records for having this expensive bug in the first place, and seeing their bosses get a higher bonus for making the right choices in a stressful situation.

(At least, that's the stated reason. They might just figure that someone who does a chargeback once is more likely to do it again. Who knows!) If you never want to trust them with your money again that's all fine, but if it's just a once off it can be a major hassle until you get a new credit card/payment account.

Unfortunately, it seems this has been patched, meaning the Black Rose is once again unavailable in TF2 for anyone who didn't already have it, as are the Poker Night and Poker Night 2 achievement items.

you can still get it, black rose isnt just a promotional item, there are tradable copies of it too

you know it's gonna be a good one if they gotta read a formal lawyers statement as the introduction of the video xD

We boiled all the water on KZread's server cooling systems on your birthday stream, I've lose some fine CPU processors that glorious day. Now, we have an exploit so powerful that requires an actual legal disclaimer to show. This channel has been pushing the Algorythm to new silly places, and my tea is ready.

Compared to all the wacky and funny stuff from previous years this one is actually really serious. Props to you and Pirates software working together to inform people about this

Damn. I think I'd have probably been tempted to risk it for a biscuit and grab a couple of cheeky unlisted games I've been lamenting missing out on for years if that was the only part of this exploit... But with the Market exploits going on too, punishments are going to end up being a lot harsher than they probably would have been otherwise, and I don't think it's worth the risk of getting caught in the collateral.

We’re all on the same page… Yeah, it’s disappointing we can’t get delisted formerly free games, I would’ve made a second account just to do that. But with the internet being what it is, and all my emails being linked to one another (in one way or another), it’s not worth the risk, since it’s being misused.

the delisted games exploit has been out there for years, i know a few people that got their access to closed betas (that they didn't have access to legitimately) by using this exploit. it sucks but at least its not really actual "theft" per say however, the steam marketplace exploit i was not aware of, but it now makes sense to me why the value of super rare CSGO skins started to fluctuate considerably in the past year.

Can't believe you're close to 4 million subscribers. I remember the time you had like a few thousands, the stock image drama, SpiffCo inauguration, etc.. is it that long ago already?

Well done Spiff, excellent video. Some genuine and important video games journalism there (and no stock footage office heads) made this quite engaging in content and delivery

your reporting of these exploits is really entertaining and will hopefully stop these kinds of exploits it the future good work

It’s crazy how much and how fast you are growing

Wow, I've never seen Spiff so serious before.

Damn shoulda had notifications on for this one

There's another layer to this you didn't mention in the video, luckily because Steam just put a bandaid fix that would prevent this from being possible, game developers tend to have packages containing every game they ever released as a private SubID for developers in the company which can be publicly read through SteamDB. If that were added to your cart you would have permanent access to every game published by the large company you took from whether it was Capcom, Ubisoft, WB Games, or any other company that has these packages.

You know it’s a big video when spiff has to have a long disclaimer at the start of the video

PayPal's had this exploit, as well as similar issues, for years. Artists, small businesses, and anyone who does commissioned and custom work have had people do this- and similar false 'scam/defective' reports- to avoid paying and/or intentionally harm the seller financially. It's dangerous and hasnt been fixed, even though I started hearing about it in like...2015-16? PayPal is absolute garbage.

PAYPAL: “how will we get that free cup of tea” SPIFF: “let’s make a video about sharing a cup of tea”

Watching the video, pretty good. Watching the video on 0.25 with sound muted, priceless.
