ZeniMax Online will be deactivating fraudulently obtained The Elder Scrolls Online game keys starting today. If you purchased the game through a non-reputable retailer, there's a chance that your game will be deactivated soon.
The fraudulent keys obtained through Steam and then re-sold to third-party sites are the main target, as they directly violate both ZeniMax's and Valve's/Steam's Terms of Service. Accounts that are affected will recieve and email on how to get back to playing the game through a valid game purchase.
How can you avoid non-reputable retailers? Don't always trust the sales, often-times retailers with the lowest price aren't legitmate copies. Luckily, ZeniMax has a list of reputable retailers for future reference when purchasing games. Check out the list below:
