Sure, you could just buy a 1 cent game… However the date is in the past. So a scalper would have needed to set up a lot of accounts in advance even before the controller itself was released, and then have purchased something on all those accounts… To me this seems like a very reasonable way to distinguish legitimate players from the scalpers.

Plus, if there’s a hundred reserved controllers all going to the same address that’s a pretty big red flag
