It's pretty funny in a really sad way (Destiny)
Now that we know that Red Bull's system is totally stupid easy to crack, and considering all of the other bad PR hitting Destiny and Activision lately, I'm thinking Activision should somehow try to find a way to scrap the whole thing and release it day one to everyone. But of course that won't happen what with contracts and all, so oh well.
This entire thing is extremely unfortunate, especially for the people doing the actual purchasing of the Red Bull. I hope Red Bull does the right thing and updates the website with a contact number or email in the event that a code someone got from a purchased can doesn't work. No idea how they'd go about verifying that the code isn't one of the generated one, but they gotta try and make this right somehow for actual purchasers, right?
