For keys sold on their own web site, can they not de-activate the keys that were bought in a transaction that was later reversed? (of course, they would still be out any chargeback fees)

For keys sold by resellers, isn't it the reseller who is out of pocket, not tinybuild?

They could, but that would lead to players that actually paid complaining (to tinybuild, not reseller). Ubisoft did it, I don't remember it playing out very well for them. But I guess that's the only way to stop G2A and the likes from dealing stolen keys.

And I don't think tinybuild would get money from keys "stolen" from resellers, but I might be wrong.
