It works on the same principle as a cd key that comes with the piece of software would work. For windws 7 you get a pop up with like 8 groups of characters which you read out to an automated machine over the phone. Once it confirms the code tied to your piece of windows 7 and confirms that you have a valid license that isnt activated anywhere else it reads out a massive code back to you which you enter on your PC. Something like this can easily work for game activation even if its a little unnecessary... im sure microsoft has a better solution in mind since this phone activation is over a decade old. All they need is you to send them the cd key for game that you bought and your console ID and then theyd give you the activation code that works for that console and game only. |
I feel pretty stupid for not seeing that basic connection. I think I even said something about codes working like that much earlier today.
Man I guess its time to go to bed :s
Heck with that in mind you could even text the code and they could text one back to you.
