How does it work? I know a lot of resellers take advantage of games being cheaper in other countries, but publishers/devs must sell steam keys in bulk directly to resellers right? Its not like you can buy steam keys off of steam as far as I know. And if it were a real problem wouldn't steam just region lock all games?

They steal credit card info from retards dumb enough to buy from them and use it to buy new keys to resell and repeat the progress

Steam doesn't region lock games, the publishers do

Real answers only please.

Are you not aware there are bundles and other sites that sell Steam keys? You hunt for deals, sell for more. That's literally it.

That's actually true.

In some cases though the keys are cheap because they're from another region.

Brand new games aren't in bundles. And with the amount of transactions some sellers on g2a have they are basically as big as "other sites" aka resellers. So it stands to reason they get their keys from the source same as those other sites.

Are you retarded?

Post a source or fuck off. Credit fraud isn't just some insignificant thing big lasting companies like g2a do.

G2A isn't the seller. They're like ebay but only for game keys. That's how they can avoid responsibility.

Right, and as a seller on ebay do you get access to people's credit card info?

They probably buy from legit keystore and then resell it to regions it's not supposed to sell to. They also buy boxed copies and resell the keys.
I once bought a polish key obviously photographed from a piece of paper from a hong kong keyseller. Luckily the polish version included all languages.

Holy shit, you really are that clueless, aren't you?
People buy legit game keys, put them on G2A and then chargeback their original purchase.

Not even close to the same thing as
>They steal credit card info from retards dumb enough to buy from them and use it to buy new keys

addendum: the keyseller was cdkeys.com not g2a

that doesn't mean all the keys are stolen. If all the keys were stolen, publishers would revoke them.

>publishers/devs must sell steam keys in bulk directly to resellers right? Its not like you can buy steam keys off of steam as far as I know. And if it were a real problem wouldn't steam just region lock all games?

they don't sell shit, it is either stolen (from various sources), or regional steam keys (e.g. you pay for a brazilian key without knowing it)

there are entire gangs that "work" on their site. i find it surreal how they get big names to support the brand, their PR budget must be insanely huge

they don't steal from their active clients but they may clone your card if you decide to close your account. basically they wait for a full year, and if there is no movement on your account you get charged for "inactivity" (literally the only service on the universe that does this). so you either pay that sum every year, or make a purchase in between, or your personal info is put on a database

Again, these are purchases made with credit card info obtained from blackhat sites or wherever. Doesn't say anything about people stealing info ON g2a which is what his original claim was.

Do you think these are steam keys that fell off the back of a truck? Use your brain bro.

>these are steam keys that fell off the back of a truck
definitely not, they are stolen

From where? Steam doesn't sell keys. Its up to the publisher to do that and they wouldn't if they thought they would lose money due to it.

It's ebay for keys but ebay doesn't extort you for fraud protection

You can turn it off if you look close enough, just the cost of doing business.

they may be physically printed, or bought using stolen cards, or just legit regional keys (you won't even know it)

AND WHERE DO THOSE KEYS COME FROM MOTHERFUCKER

THE MOON?

lol have sex

See

stolen cards, money launderers

Streaming from Gaming 4 Good apparently I have $171 UK bucks from someone donating and *APPARENTLY* G2A does a Euro Match to every donation made to my channel. Should I just send the money in conversion rate or just keep it as G2A cash?

study the market for a while and you'll understand what's happening there. I'm not spoonfeeding you, just know that anybody that talks about stealing is a npc that got programmed to say these things or a real dev trying to jew you.

What I think is that pubs continue to sell keys to resellers because they've had their jews run the calculations and they make more doing it then if they solely sold on steam, despite the lower price. And the stolen keys are from dumbass greedy indies that aren't prepared for that kind of fraud protection. No studying just the conclusions I've come to.
