What's the difference between pirating and buying from g2a?

They difference is you aren't committing a crime

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.

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.

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.

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.

>>322945502
Yeah, Consoles

>>322945821
>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I've bought 4 keys off this site in the past year and a half and all 4 of them have worked and have not been revoked.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).

>save around 300$
>lost 7,75$

Looks like a good deal
