>>337855819

Some slavs use stolen credit cards to buy the games, but that's not overly common. The bulk of the games are just bought during sales or from shit like Humble Bundle with cheap currencies (Ruble, etc), and then sold for USD (AKA profit). They're asspained because people get the game without technically paying them the full price.

>>337855983

Except stolen credit cards is not the case most of the time, as explained above.
>>
>>337855459
No, because I want to play the game online.

I want to make a roast. In order to do that I need a particular cut of meat (game).

Option 1:
Get the meat(game) from the butcher's down the street (Steam)
Price: 10$
Result: I get the game

Option 2:
Get the meat(game) from an online reseller, exact same game
Price: 7$, because the reseller buys cuts of meat from people who bought graphics cards and sold their cuts of meat to them so they can sell it for cheap.
Result: I get the game

>stealing
That is typically where the keys come from, yes. Oftentimes, the keys are stolen from retailers or they are bought with stolen credit cards. Either way, someone is a victim of theft. Don't be a fag enabler, either buy from a legit store or pirate it.
>>
Bought bf4 from them and got the key delivered in less than a min
then again it was a highly rated seller
i still dont trust sellers that dont have tons of transactions
>>
>>337856090
The stolen card keys are extremely rare, and if you buy from a reputable seller you will probably never get them

my main point here is that buying at market price of another region isn't illegal and frankly encouraged, clearly it's still a price they deem profitable otherwise they wouldn't sell there

DOOM was $35 on cdkeys.com. Only used that site once, but it was instant. Might try G2A next time for new games if it's cheaper, DOOM was a buck more on there though.

I'm always worried about getting it revoked or something, but I think I got a gift from my cousin over a year ago now that was from G2A and nothing ever happened.

Is there any possible way for them to tell it's not legit? If I'm not mistaken, these are just global keys, the same exact key that I would have bought from a legit retailer, right?

What about stolen credit cards? Can that ever come into play, or can Steam only have a say in that if it's done via Steam gifting?

Fully possible. This is why region locks were invented.
The most profitable games are usually region locked, so their only margin would come from the FX rate. Too much work for too little gain.
Take into consideration that G2A is a marketplace that takes commission off sales. Pure FX rate exploiting would be terrible.

Except this supplier didn't pay the producers. Or at least, they paid an illicit amount for it.

Publisher has a sale: 80% off!
Sale lasts 2-3 days.

Someone goes in and buys a metric fuckton of keys.

Sale is over, head to G2A, upload the keys for something under publisher full price.

Makes money, buyers save money, publisher got their money. Everyone is happy.

This is a simple concept
>>
>>337860070
have you ever imported anything from another country? it's cheaper because thats the price the company set in that country, because it considered it the most profitable

you are not scamming anyone by bypassing the market segregation the company created, in fact it's more like you're avoiding their scam
>>
>>337860070
lol
>>
>>337849232
It's fine as long as you make sure to get the shield for the extra dollar or whatever. If you do that and the key is bad or the seller messes up then you can get a full refund super easy.

I use it to buy games that are a couple years old because they're usually 3-10 dollars instead of 20 on steam.

Hell no mate there's this German I guy I swear to fucking g0d I asked for Borderlands 2 GOTY but he just gave me Borderlands and I had it revoked by steam a few hours later. You have a 50/50 chance.

>>337860357
How does that work for new games, or games not even out yet like Overwatch that you can already by for 40% off.
>>
>>337860163
>Lower profit margins
You don't actually believe this do you? You seriously think G2A is intentionally taking less of a cut than stores like GMG who already sell their keys at a >20% discount?

Try rubbing two brain cells together this time.
>>
>>337860247
But if they're whoring out prostitutes, they'd be making money from them, not spending money on them. So our giving them money has nothing to do with that.
If they're hiring prostitutes then we're indirectly helping that prostitute make a living. Unless the launderers are also thieves.

Overwatch sales are obviously due to 80% publisher discounts. :^)

So I'm making some kind of deal with the Russian Mafia for getting DOOM at $38 the other day? Not that I care. Its actually kind of funny what the consequences of my purchase will be, all because I didn't want to pay full price for a 7/10 reboot.

Wholesale discounts.

For those who don't know the chain, it usually goes like this:

Developer/Publisher -> Distributors -> Wholesalers -> Retailers

All of them taking their own cut in the process.
Digital games have no production cost other than managing the codes. No box, no CD/DVD, no leaflet, no extras.

If you get games from Dev/Publisher or Distributors, the prices are completely different than in retail.

>>337860381

Except we're not talking about regional importing. If the games were region locked then the keys G2A are selling you would also be region locked.

>>337860882

Except every distributor gets the same wholesale discount. The only way that isn't true is if the distributor is getting their keys from somwhere that isn't sourced by the developer/publisher. Aka grey market.

Yea it's all about putting money down on games before they get near release or get hyped

I preordered it on 4/20


I got The Division for 35 bucks because I pre-ordered like 3 months ahead of release

And you can cancel pre-orders any time before the release date, which is when they send you the code for the game. I asked their support this and they got back to me in the same fucking hour. cdkeys is top tier.

I had to pay 5€ more than you to get steam version of division, gotta say since I'm a sucker I prefer have to get all my games together, did the same thing for gtav. also I managed to get Overwatch origins with pre order bonus for 34€ before the beta, now its around 44€ holy fuck the hype sure did its work. Used instagaming instead of cdkeys tho, I hope they add paysafe card option because I'm lazy to charge my credit card every time I want a game.

Revoked. I got one of the DIRT3 keys when a load of them got leaked. Managed to get a few hours in before it vanished from my games list.

Alright. Honestly, if I keep doing it and one gets revoked, it's not the end of the world. It is the end of the world if I can't activate any more games on my 11 year old Steam account, however. My Steam account's purity is more important than $40 or something.

>Revoked at worst but that LITERALLY NEVER happens

Ubisoft has revoked a lot of keys.

For a while the publishers were willing to give customers the benefit of the doubt but they aren't doing it anymore. They list their authorized resellers and if you get your key from someone not on that list they will revoke it if it's stolen and they will tell you to go fuck yourself if you complain.

I don't know if they will outright lock your account although I have seen people claim that revoked keys has led to their accounts being flagged by Valve and locked out of some shit, like trading.

Ubisoft used to let it slide but they don't anymore.

A quick google search shows that almost no publisher is letting it slide anymore, they are all now revoking stolen keys. And the people having the keys revoked almost always say they got them from G2A.

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

I am buying from retail (because I want dat physical goodies) and I don't care where people buy their shit from. Some people can't afford full price and at least they're paying for it.

And yes, devs are getting money regardless. People get these keys from countries where games are much cheaper and sell then to you for a slightly higher price.

I usually buy in G2A when I don't want to give money to shitty publishesrs. The last example of this would be Dark Souls 3

You get what you pay for. Haven't heard any of my friends not get keys.

The only issue with the site is their source of keys is scummy/shady. Keys can be from stolen credit cards, exploited developers, etc.

Its kind of shitty to contact an indie dev, ask for a game key to review their title, then turn around and sell it instead.
