What's the difference between pirating and buying from g2a?
Is there any reason to buy from key sellers? Other than just to have the game on steam.
>>
They difference is you aren't committing a crime
>>
>>322942949
It's just a matter of convenience. Also, sometimes I want to play a game, but don't want to give money to the developers directly.
>>
g2a is not Gaben-approved, there's a reason why "g2a" is a filtered word on all of steam
>>
>>322942949
Worst case with G2A is your account gets banned, but you're more likely to just have the game removed if the key's found to be fraudulently acquired.

>>322944321
Because idiots spam their referral link everywhere.
>>
>>322942949
G2A is a shady site attempting to grab all these sponsors to appear mainstream

Probably because of this shit
>>
G2A is for buying humble bundle keys, but that's about it. Anything outside bundled games is likely to either be higher than Steam sale price, or a fraudulent key that will be revoked.
>>
>>322942949
I have sold keys in g2play and I can assure you that I didnt stole them from a polish truck
>>
>>322942949

Is there any respectable place where you have to pay more to make sure what you're buying actually works?
>>
An uncertain amount of game keys on G2A are from physically stolen game cases anyway. You might as well pirate really.
>>
>>322945502
I have bought more than 40 games in g2a/g2play and only one was deleted from my steam account and it was my fault (suspicius russian seller with low feedback)

No.

Yeah, Consoles

>only one
One is one too many
>>
>>322945502
I've bought 4 keys off this site in the past year and a half and all 4 of them have worked and have not been revoked. I even got the pre-order versions of all 4, even though some of the games were far past the pre-order date.

G2A with Shield

Another decent site is cdkeys.com, but it requires a text message to make an account (required).
>>
>>322945938
>save around 300$
>lost 7,75$

Looks like a good deal
