What are your thoughts on steam key sites? have you even bought a key from sites like g2a? are they a scam or are they cool, also do you have a story to share about steam keys.

i was planning on getting a mystery pack from g2a or whatever its called but im not sure if its a scam or not.

G2A isn’t more fraudulent than other marketplaces, if someones selling a game for less than any official retailer it’s likely to involve fraud. G2A and Kinguin are just the biggest ones.

Regional pricing is the alternative to it being cc fraud, which I’m pretty sure still qualifies as fraud but since the publisher doesn’t lose money from it it’s kinda whatever. But many games are now region locked and still show up on these sites, I sure wonder why.
