I love it when retards buy games from g2a or similar sites because "pirating is wrong" when in reality what they do is far worse than pirating

I don't really care, I bought stuff from G2A before and none of it has been revoked by Steam, so far.
But if you want to sell something on G2A you gotta provide them with your Steam account name, your actual login name, why the fuck would you need that? It doesn't help the credibility of the item you're selling in any way, fuck that.
>stolen games
who gives a shit
never had any problems with keysites
used g2a kinguin and instant-gaming
been using those since dark souls 2 released
why should i give a fuck if its stolen or not ?
>>335804894
>>335805084
it's not about having problems, it's about supporting a market which sells stolen keys, it's literally worse than pirating.
why even buy from key sites instead of pirating? you don't support the devs either way
>>335805084
I recently had a game removed from my Steam account that I bought almost 3 years ago on Kinguin. So it's never too late.
>why should i give a fuck if its stolen or not ?
The main reason to buy games is to support devs. If you're gonna use sites like these, you might as well pirate, that way you're at least getting the games 100% for free and not directly harming anyone, win-win situation.
Abusing regional pricing seems like a dick thing to me so i stay away from those kinds of sites. But to be fair the industry is really awful at actually telling consumers which sites are legit or not. But i would rather pirate a game than support that shit.
I use G2P all the time, and they've never let me down.
There is distinct gray area in keysites, but honestly, I do believe that a lot of people who bought product X on a Steam sale or for a friend who didn't want it, or got it with their new Nvidia or whatever want to make a quick buck.
There are plenty of paces these keys could come from, and plenty of reasons people can have to sell them cheaper than Steam.
And I support them in that.
>>335804649
I don't give a shit I just want cheap steam games.
>>335805550
Valvedrones are fucking disgusting
Until you can prove that all those keys were stolen and not just cheaply obtained in different regions, I don't give a shit.

Its grey market games. The keys sold By g2a are "guaranteed" but if you don't want to pay the 1-2 dollar of insurance. Other wise you are getting a game from a 3rd party seller where the key can come from god knows where (stolen, comps, etc)
>grey markets are immoral now
Carry on sucking that corporate cock
I buy them because my money doesn't matter to developers. It's cheaper and I get my game with my online.
If I get banned from steam or some shit like that, it will just free up my future schedule.
i pirate if its singleplayer and has no reason to own it, and use G2A if its an online / always on / constantly being updated game and worth owning a proper key, which i get for like 50% price
if G2A is so bad, its up to the industry and consumer regulators to deal with it, not me.
All you are doing is paying the lowest amount that the company thinks it can make a profit with in a certain region
I've never had a bad experience with any of the reselling sites that I've used; I've always gotten my keys on time, never had a game removed from my Steam library. It's not like they have a huge selection of games to begin with, and even then some of the "deals" that they advertise are the exact same price as Steam.
I honestly can't wait until I get better internet in August of this year, because at that point I'll just pirate everything. Until then, I think spending $20-$40 on a game I probably would have never played to begin with is fairly reasonable.Should I buy the Total War: Warhammer + Chaos Warriors Race Pack PRE-ORDER Steam CD Key on G2P?$15 cheaper than Steam, but honestly I haven't been hyped for a game since 2011 and I can't remember the last time I bought a game at full price

Pls explain. Will I not be able to update the game with future versions? I realize I sound like a full blown jew over $15, I just honestly feel weird buying games at full price nowadays

Save your money, the game is going to set the bar for dlc jewery. Last I remember it's going to be in 3 distinct pieces, you're getting the first piece on release. If you really want it so bad pirate it.
>>335808182
in both of thos cases, money went to developers, if they are stolen key, no money wnt to developers, in some cases they even had to pay.
>>335808530
Oh what the fuck. Thanks for the heads up, will pirate
>>335808556
How in the fuck do you think second hand sales give money to the developers?
What kind of mental gymnastics are required for that?
And people who are okay with paying $1 for a game but not $0? Are they really contributing anything?

humblebundle seems quite popular, yeah
Some games just aren't worth their cost, anon.
Battleborn, for example, is a moderately shitty game and I would never consider spending $60 dollars on it.
It's currently $30 on keysites. I think it's worth $30, so I bought it on G2A.
And, ultimately, the publishers and companies that fund the gaming industry have become utter fucking scum. They fuck the devs, they fuck the players, and ultimately they fuck themselves by ruining some of the best games of recent memory.
Most people on dev teams just get their salary while they're making the game. If it turns out keys are stolen, good. Fuck them.
>>335808657
>mental gymnastics
This is how every South Park fan argues, so easy to spot them.
>>335808657
because someone bought the game first and then sold it, the don get money for the second hand sale, but they did get money for the first sale. Games bought with stolen cards, because when the owner of the card gets the money back, the shop/developer gets a chargueback by the bank for the refund.

That's their own fucking fault. If you're stupid enough to give out thousands of keys because [email protected] asked you, you deserve to get fucked over. Why aren't reviewers and streamers paying for their own games? They make a shit ton, plus it's their fucking job. Carpenters buy their own tools with their own money.

If you pirate, no one gets money. They have already made money by some Russian buying the key, and I buy the key from some Russian
There is no harming them because the idea that I would buy their game at full price never existed,
>>335804049
So I'm supposed to pay £40-£50 for every new game?
Fuck off.
All that I know what G2A does is allow buyers to cut out the government tax. Lets be honest a lot of major YouTubers have exclusive discount codes for G2A who are also in bed with publishers/ developers for instance Jackrags has monthly discount code for that site.
>>335810074
The games are bought with stolen credit card info. It doesn't matter though, devs still get paid and stolen credit cards will always be used. If people didn't buy steam keys the thiefs would just buy and sell other stuff, which they already do.
>>335804049

Of course not. Resell is even more destructive to this industry because at least a pirate may actually end up buying a game they enjoy.

Ever thought that maybe these devs if they ever found out that you did this would fucking hate your ass? They made these games out of pure love and then you pull this shit off. Indie games are not made by corporate scumbags. They put themselves out there so you can enjoy something.
>>335810074
Exactly, if the key is fraudulent all they need to do is to ban the code. Which they did for Sniper 3 and that is what started the entire shitstorm. But seriously, big AAA companies don't suffer from this because they deactivate refunded keys. Most keys sold on G2A are NOT stolen keys, they are just dummy wholesale companies in 2nd and 3rd world countries who which then directly sell the keys instead of selling them to stores. Even then, on AAA titles like from Blizzard or Activision the margins are not that much better (especially now with region locking) which is why those keys are often only slightly cheaper than in the stores.
So in the end, NO most keys on resellers are NOT STOLEN, they are just being sold for cheap because they come from less cheaper countries and can be sold cheaper due to much less overhead costs.

>>335804049
Before I used to always buy on steam. Now I always buy on G2A. Theres literally no reason not to.
And before you try justifying some retarded rationale you have in your mind, remember all the times you bought a game a year+ later when it was half off or only $10. Whats the difference then? Besides playing it earlier by buying it from G2A. I dont give a fuck where they got the key long as its good.
>>335810716
>What's stopping someone from buying directly from the publishers with stolen credit cards?
Are you retarded? Of course you can't stop people from committing crime. The difference is you are SUPPORTING criminals when you buy their stolen goods, which is no better than doing the actual crime.
>How is that G2A's fault? They're just the middleman.
G2A goes out of their way to not verify the origin of their products, if they actually cared they would not host stolen goods. You are a fucking moron trying desperately to justify yourself supporting criminal activity and failing miserably.

>Then they'd make the game free. If you're charging something for your work, it's the opposite of "putting yourself out there". It's an exchange at that point, not a fucking donation or gift.
They need the money to generate profit so they can keep themselves afloat. If they're lucky and become successful then they can churn out more games. Majority of their vidya bux they earn is so they can continue what they do best. Sure, they make extra cash out of the profit but it's primarily so they can keep their hobby going.

Keep talking shit over an Anonymous image board faggot. You're the millions of cancerous faggots who ruin it for everybody. Your small little small brained opinion getting shat out of your shallow head of yours. Why don't you take up a hobby other than shit posting for the sake of it? See how you can't back anything up at this point and start "memeing" yourself to sound like an educated 4chan user? Think again retard. Get yourself an education and get fucking laid.
>>335812697
And yet they still shake hands with gamestop for advertising their games and selling them with a piece of cut out DLC to increase demand.

g2a doesn't even sell stolen keys, they just take advantage of regional pricing from steam and local retailers. that's the whole reason why valve started region locking everything, but they're too stupid to do that properly so while prices are now marginally higher than they were before they're still hilariously low.
>>335812849
I'm tempted to post the confirmed kills pasta, but you are hardly worth the time to edit and post it.
Have a (you)
>>335813415
>g2a doesn't even sell stolen keys
got proof on that
>>335813540
do you have proof that they do?

Can I have a (you) too anon? You seem to be practically throwing them away.

>>335813589
>g2a doesn't even sell stolen keys
Nigga, I buy from G2A all the time, but you're a fucking retard if you don't notice how sketchy it is that most of those keys come from Russia and Brazil
>>335813702
they don't come from russia or brazil because russian and brazilian keys are region locked, you fuck. you wouldn't be able to use them if they did.
>>335813589
Yeah, remember the far cry 4 thing?
>>335813610
Of course anon, all I want is to make your day brighter, brother.
>>335813752
>What is a Russian/BR selling US/Global keys
>>335804049
This weeks episode of the Giantbombcast touched upon this, and I agree with everything Jeff said.
I'm paraphrasing here basically it's not your problem as a consumer to be worried about shady retailers selling stolen keys.
Why is he naked under what appears to be a fucking bathrobe
and why does he have a load of airshit?
I know he was a manbaby, but jesus
>>335813907
But buying them is enabling criminals. If there was no demand they wouldn't be doing it. You aren't responsible but you could at least settle with pirating the game which does no harm.
>>335813589
>guilty until proven innocent
nice logic right there
>>335813415
>g2a doesn't even sell stolen keys
I'm absolutely sure they do, but it's clearly a minority of the keys that they sell because it's a really poor way of laundering money from stolen CCs, and because only a handful of shitty indie games with dumb devs ever mail out that many keys to sell even if you pester them with hundreds of accounts.
>>335810305
>They have already made money by some Russian buying the key
Did you even watch the video in the OP? Often keys sold on sites like G2A are either obtained in fraudulent ways or purchased with stolen credit cards (which means they'll eventually be charged back).
I know it's Totalbiscuit, but for once he's not wrong.
>>335814331
proof?
Like really, do anyone has solid evidence?
Why no big AAA company is suing them?
>>335810074
>Poor devs and pubs were tricked via email!
That's because when you make an indie game you get literally pelted with hundreds of requests for keys by Youtube losers and if you dare turn them down you're at risk of doing it to a cancerous faggot Jim Sterling wannabe with a drove of mindless morons as fans who will then proceed to incessantly shit on every messageboard related to your game.
>>335814879
Simply take the time to ask for a channel link first.
>>335814136
You're right in a sense, but are you presuming anyone selling keys outside of Steam store is a criminal? Greenmangaming was for the longest time a trusted online retailer until recently people started digging up dirt on them, should you feel bad for having purchased a key from them in the past?
Hell no, again that shouldn't be your concern as a consumer. Sure there is something to be said about negligence but if Cd-key laundering is such a big problem why don't the big giants do something about it?
>>335815131
GMG is not a gray market key seller. People are fully aware what the site actually is when they see one.
>>335815131
>Greenmangamingwasn't gmg the site sjws tried to kill because they thought it was goobergate related?

So can I buy a ton of Steam games on my credit card and then argue it was stolen so I get them all for free? I gotta try that.

steam might ban you if you chargeback or if the game was bought via a stolen credit card
>>335817821
Thinking about doing a chargeback on newegg or something to buy a new GPU. My historic is perfect and I've always paid the bills accordingly. How should I go about doing this?

Man I'm glad I don't have to look at TB's ugly mug on his regular WTF videos.
I have sold games on G2A that I got legitimately, why should I expect the games I'm buying to be illegitimate?
>>335820180
The vast majority is legit.
>>335805353
>you don't support the devs either way.
That's the point. I want to have it on a collective platform so that I can install and uninstall whenever I want without taking up memory, get achivements, ect but do not want to support the publisher or developers. I'm waiting for a good deal on GTAV so i can get it throught G2A and rockstar can go fuck themselves. It's a shit game without mods anyway.
>>335804049
I dont pay to risk getting all my money stolen by some fag
>>335822046
I've gotten keys for steam and 360 and not once have I had a problem. Also, their customer service is pretty good and if you want additional protection they have some shield shit for a dollar something you can get which gives you a refund automatically if anything happens, no questions asked. I never get it.
Just bought KOTOR 2 for $3. I don't give a fuck
>>335822238
All of my friends had shield protection and they all got scammed through paypal, you can definitely get unlucky.
>>335805550
This.
>>335805550
are games not already cheap on steam
>>335804649
This. G2A is the Walmart of Steam games.
>>335823292
No. For example, shantae and the pirates curse is $9.99 right now on steam but $1.34 on G2A.
>>335811061
>they made these games out of pure love
Maybe 1 out of every 20 indie devs, let's be real
>>335822571
How did they get scammed through paypal? A seller cannot make a claim against a buyer. You're buying, the worst that can happen is that the key doesn't work, you contact them and get your money back. This is how I do it whenver I get anything there. 1. Buy directly from G2A, or 2. From very high rated sellers with no negatives, if Idecided to buy from anyone with a negative, then I make sure I read what the negative was, and if I still feel unsafe, I would get shield. So far I've bougth 3 games from there and not once have I decided to purchase shield. Sometimes the deals are not worth it if it's too close to what retail is
>>335811218
The problem is for every good indie game there's about 100 terribly mediocre to downright awful ones released on Steam
>>335811061
>>335811358
>>335812442
This is easily the worst poster I've seen on /v/.
At least some of the Redditors try to blend in. This dude isn't even putting any effort.
Havn't bought a game in a while but is it true they text you a cd key from the box as if it was stolen?
>>335824135
Never seen that personally. You get an email after your purchase with a link to your account where you can retrieve the key, kinda like humblebundle and things like that.
>>335824135
I've had that a few times from some of these cheap key sites.
Not sure which ones.
>>335810074
>Carpenters buy their own tools with their own money.
Mines were bought by the company I work for.
>>335824135
Yes, sometimes they're humble bundle keys.
>>335804049
>stolen keys
that's not how it works faggot
get educated on resellers and marketing then post again
>>335824135
I ordered NSMB2 for 3DS on Cdkeys like a year ago, and I was sent a photo of a CD key.
I assume they got it from the 2DS that was sold with NSMB2 packaged in?
