Sure enough, the $110 code netted them both Savini Jason and a Counselor Clothing pack. To check if the account was legit or not, the Redditor even bough their own code to see if it would work.
After posting an image of the account that had tons of positive feedback after successful sales, it was theorized that the seller was one of many early backers who grabbed extra codes in hopes of selling them later. JasosThrowaway13 started a post by referencing Gun Media's staunch stance against selling Savini Jason before implying that the suspiciously large quantities of the codes being sold by the eBay account across all platforms might indicate a connection to the developers. The Suspicious Sales (Photo: JasonsThrowaway13 via Reddit)Ī Redditor within the Friday the 13th: The Game subreddit brought attention to the issue under a throwaway account with a detailed catalog of evidence that something fishy was going on with this Jason-selling eBay account.
While the suspicious eBay profile mentioned before has also had other content on sale – sometimes for as much as $300 per code – the distribution of Savini Jason was no doubt both the most profitable item and the one that brought too much attention to the account and resulted in this theft discovery. Savini Jason has its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages, most of which make it a fairly formidable character compared to other Jasons.Įxclusivity aside, there have been several instances where Savini Jason has mistakenly become available, but Gun Media has vowed to never sell the Jason version again. While it's still often referred to as a skin, it does more than just change Jason's appearance.
