Microsoft revokes Gears of War 4 Nvidia Promo Keys

In the past month, Nvidia announced that those who buy their new GeForce 1070 or 1080 graphics cards will receive a free copy of Gears of War 4 for PC and Xbox One. Regrettably, some users abused an error on Amazon that allowed them to purchase a code for the game without paying for the graphics card.
