There is nothing wrong with buying a key from G2A, I am a consumer with a limited budget, it's better than just stealing the damn game through a torrent or what have you. So it's OK to buy keys off of ebay which I am sure runs into the same issue with some jackass using a stolen credit card to buy a bunch of keys, or buys a bunch of keys through PayPal or a credit card and does a charge-back pretending that their credit card was "stolen" or their PayPal account was "hacked" or "misused".
Then you have Humblebundle and Bundlestars, I buy bundles all the time, usually you can see keys for some of the games included with the different bundles spike on auction sites like eBay. Many times G2A partners with PayPal on the weekends for some pretty slick deals. Please, I get sooooo tired of listening to all these self righteous people. This is why UPlay and Origin exist.Įvil6eric99 2214d ago (Edited 2214d ago ) And small studios with their own stores who suddenly get a rash of chargebacks from stolen CC will result in them having their stores closed down due to that while much larger online retail sources like Steam, EA, and Ubisoft are protected by that with larger purchase portals that they pay extra for such things. It's also facilitated by Steam and Humble Bundle in that they offer a system of game keys that are given out freely at the point of sale but can result in them losing absolutely nothing while the developer loses a whole sale when a chargeback occurs.Įssentially, and especially for Indie developers, this means a system that is against them on all sides. The problem is that CC theft and use is so prevalent and isn't handled as well as it should that it allows this to happen and G2A openly facilitates this structure by having zero questions about where a person gets their keys. The person who bought it with the stolen credit card(s) then sells it for money on G2A and makes money off of a valid key that gave zero money to the developer. That results in a massive amount of chargebacks to the original seller (steam or otherwise) which means that the money does not go to the developer. They didn't because it's fueled by an economy of people who buy using stolen credit cards. Christopher 2214d ago (Edited 2214d ago )
