7.12.2021

Last night, I bought a can of Pringles mostly on the grounds that it would grant me an XP boost in Halo Infinite, only to find that I couldn’t actually redeem the code. See, I’d have to upload a photo of my receipt to the company’s website. The process makes a certain degree of sense (you’d want...
