ChrisGansler drew attention to the story involving a code that grants 25 years of World of Warcraft game time. In 2023, Blizzard began canceling such codes.
According to available information, such codes were revoked not only for former, but also for current employees. Now they are being replaced with one-year codes.
This cancellation had an unpleasant consequence. World of Warcraft automatically renewed game time for six months, charging money from the linked card.
