"We've been told our games are too expensive in some countries but we've been using Steam's recommended pricing for a while. We trust Valve enough to not change this. If our games are still too expensive for you, you can pirate them until you have enough to support us."

Because I've never had a reason not to? I've only used G2A a few times but you can just remove the insurance at checkout. Never had an issue.

Except for, again, how it's screwing over developers, players in other regions, and supporting credit card scammers.

I've seen no concrete evidence of any of that. So agree to disagree.

You said yourself some of the keys come from regional bypassing?

[–] ChronosWing@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

No, I said they are bought in other regions. There is no proof that is from any bypass. Just some guy who lives in a poverished nation trying to turn a profit.
