great pepe

I dont give a fuck. Either way my money is leaving me to someone else.. Why spend $30 when i can spend $5?

Mind I take that Pepe?

Why spend 5$ if you can just download it for free?

It's all yours my friend

Actually the people who sell g2a the games are the ones who steal them.

Online friendoo

how does g2a even work

Thanks my dude

lol buying games.

G2A are a bunch of jews with jewish prices on Shield and transactions, trying to take all the money from little Swedish kids for skins and shit, they can go fuck themselves, it's easier to trade with reliable partners

>mfw I live in Russia and games on Steam are cheaper than anywhere
Thanks Gaben

Because that money still goes to the devs. Even when you buy a key bought via a stolen credit card, the devs still get the money.

I'd rather buy more expensive games, than live in a 3rd world shithole.

Russian scammers buy keys with stolen credit cards and sell them half price g2a to cut the paper trail and make the money """"""""legit"""""""" while g2a turns the blind eye and gets to release new games at a discount

You forgot the best part: devs get legit money.

So everyone wins except for the cucks retarded enough to have their credit card info stolen.

Stay mad, americuck
Good luck with living with non-binaries, niggers, nu-males, feminists and all that shit while I get some prime slavic pussy

>Purchases made in this region will only receive the Russian language.

Just pirate at this point. You're literally giving your money to scammers.

Credit card companies have to refund the money in most cases of fraud, which is why every day American Express calls me about bullshit charges and replaces my card twice a year

Small price to pay for the security imo, other companies will ignore fraud unless you point it out yourself because they don't want to have to cover the stolen money

No, they actually lose money. Issuing a chargeback costs them money, and they also lose the money from the sale.
The reason many smaller devs don't bother cancelling activated stolen keys from G2A is that damage is already done.

I don't play shitty AAA's with such a stupid restriction
NEXT

>You forgot the best part: devs get legit money.
No they don't.

> devs get legit money

What is chargeback

Pretty epic Pepe

THERES NOT A SINGLE GAME WORTH BUYING OR PIRATING ATM GAYMING IS DED

You got it all figured out then, comrade.

G2A ripped me off with Mankind Divided, sent me a used key.

A meme, invented by Sup Forumstard cucks. It literally never happens.

Theives and scammers also get legit money, keeping their business of theft alive. Sure you might not get scammed, but what about your parents? Your grandparents? You'd take food off the table of your own grandmother, or anyone else's for that matter, and give it to some greasy slavshit to frit away on diseased prostitutes and Adidas tracksuits?

Just buy from CDkeys.
It's almost always cheaper than G2A and they always get it legit.

Yes it does. We've had devs talking about it, and it's not like it's a new concept, exclusive to gaming. Chargebacks have been a thing for ages now.

No user, you're the retard. Credit Card companies chase fraud down relentlessly so they don't have to reimburse customers out of pocket, AE does it relentlessly

g2a.com/savethechildren
They are saving the children

>You'd take food off the table of your own grandmother,
No, because she's dead. Fuck you for reminding me.

>or anyone else's for that matter
Yes, because I'm not a moralfag cuck who will defend other """"""people's"""""" stupidity and incompetence in keeping their credit card info secure.

How to spot someone who's never owned a credit card in their life

What do you think banks do when fraudulent purchase is made using a credit card? If possible it's charged back if not it comes from the bank pockets. Since banks really don't like using its own money guess what happens...

If you don't care about developers getting money, why not just pirate the game? That'd actually be better for them, than buying a game purchased with stolen credit card.

Or do you just appreciate the efforts that the Brazilian and Russian fraudsters put into this, and you want to reward their hard work?

The only way to keep credit card info """"""""secure"""""""" is to not use it and pay for everything in cash.

I'm not doubting that there's scammers on g2a, but does anyone have any legit source on the amount of scamming going on? This screams of sensationalism for the sake of making drama on the internet.
It's like acting like every single smartphone you find on ebay or craiglist was stolen.

>not getting them for free instead
dumb frogposter

My comrade

>"I choose to support criminals"
>"it's your own fault if you get mugged!"
>"why shouldn't criminals be allowed to steal from people if their targets are easy prey?"

You sound like typical slavshit to me. Go climb in your babushka's grave and rot with her

>I'm not doubting that there's scammers on g2a
Then you're retarded. No seller is going to ruin their reputation by selling keys bought with stolen credit cards. You do once, and you might as well get a new account, which is, again, equivalent to literally throwing away your ability to sell keys, since no one in their sane mind will buy anything from some fucker with less than a couple of thousand key sales.

The only cases of buying keys bought via stolen credit cards occur when some literal mouth breather buys a cheap-ass key from some literal who bumfuck with no previous sales.

that's what you get for doing business with liars and thieves, faggotmaster.

No idea if you'll believe me, but I work for small-scale publisher, and we used to hand out Steam codes for purchases of games made from our site. It was going fine, but after a while we noticed shitload of fraudulent purchases, some which were caught by payment processor, some which were not.
Shit got so bad that our payment processor told us that they had enough, and we had to find something else. Which sucks, since some of the games we were selling were pornographic, which is generally seen as "high risk" market, so finding a processor willing to take that with decent rate is pretty hard.

After few weeks of not being able to sell anything, we found a new processor. Though obviously we can't offer the codes anymore. And what do you know, the fraud attemps drastically dropped.

Your own retarded post acknowledged the existence of scammers you mouthbreathing stupid fuck.

>tfw I bought no man's sky for cheap on a key site a few days before launch and was then obviously unable to refund it while all other people who got it normally refunded it and lost nothing on Sean's scam

Learned my lesson

> It's like acting like every single smartphone you find on ebay or craiglist was stolen.

Not exactly, on eBay the phone is second hand apple will not make money no matter if it's stolen or not.

If the suspected g2a scam is real (use of stolen credit card to get key) the devs pays back the bank for the product that get stolen. Getting charged back comes with bank costs

>parents rich enough to own a house is Spain
>studying CS in MSU
>qt slav gf
I'm alright with those rates
Also
>most Russians are aborted than born
So?

>acknowledged the existence of scammers
Except I didn't, you brain-dead mongoloid. Scamming is literally non-existent, when you buy from proven sellers with several thousands of sales and impeccable reputation and if you buy from literal whos, then you deserve to get scammed for your stupidity.

>what is Instant Gaming™

Please be bait

Why pay American citizens to do a job when you can outsource to China at a quarter of the price ?

If you're gonna use that logic, why not just pirate your games?
Also, those illegal keys can be revoked, as has happened before.

> believing the rating system on g2a is real

I bet you can give g2a a moderate amount of money and you end up with a profile with hundreds of thousands of key sold and mostly positive reviews.

>pirate game
>neither own it on Steam nor can I play it online normally

>buy cheap shady key
>own it on Steam and can play it online normally, literally same product as buying it on Steam itself

I sure wonder!

Smelly dumb frogposting scum.

Anecdotal evidence obviously but I've been using kinguin for many years buying a lot of games for way less than elsewhere and I've literally never had a single problem, always got my key instantly

Well where's the fucking MD crack already?

>pirate game
actually own it, no forced DRM

>buy cheap shady game
can be taken away at any time, most likely forced DRM

>can be taken away at any time, most likely forced DRM

Good thing that has never happened to me in many years. Meanwhile I actually got to play all my online games online, while pirates don't or have to resort to hamachi or tunngle trash with other pirates

>People buy from G2A
>All the money goes to G2A and the rest to whoever stole/scammed the CD key
>People who should be getting the money lose out

"Why does nobody make good indie games???"

"Wtf why do they keep putting stupid DRM????"

Singleplayer games will be fucking dead soon, and games will require gay as fuck DRM & online codes won't work anymore too. In like 5-10 years it will all be linked to a forced DRM like steam & you have to log into steam through a site to grab your code which is hidden from you, I guarantee it.


You're only fucking yourselves over


Also you should just pirate rather than buy from G2A, same result except Russian scammers don't get the money.

Arguments:
>1) I can play it online
>2) I can play it online
Awesome. Of course with online games it's a different deal.
Also why is having it on steam a boon? Is it just the autistic calling of having everything in one place?
I guess you accept the chance of loosing the game without getting your money back since you didn't adress it. That's fine.

>I guess you accept the chance of loosing the game

*losing

And yes, I do. Maybe I'll think differently if I ever lose any game, but that has yet to happen and I've gotten a lot of games through key sites.

now only if there would be multiplayer games worth playing.

What a great contrarian opinion you have there, didn't expect that

it's true.
most multiplayer games are pretty bad now, only worthwhile ones are fighting games.

Chances are 20% of sellers make 80% of sales and those 20% sellers are in fact puppet account owned by g2a.

Buying from G2A is literal lost sales.
Even worse, stolen sales.

I agree, I don't give a fuck about developers if I can get the game for free or really cheap. This industry is already fucking awful and it'll only get worse seeing the success of Ark's EXPANSION PACK IN EARLY ACCESS

Okay?

I don't care.

All I care is about is owning the real thing for less money.

Ye, it's like accepting that death is an unavoidable risk when you drive a car. As I said, I got no issue with that.

Those are some weird dicks.

is there a possibility that if Russians steal enough cd keys that they bring back games in DVDs and and big ass boxes for pc too?

>paying Americans

I'm not even reading the rest of the thread, nothing can top this

if you don't have any moral problems with stealing, why the fuck don't you just pirate instead?
how is spending very little money better than spending none?
you're not only a thief, but also a very fucking stupid thief

Why not just pirate it then faggot?

>This is the state of nu-Sup Forums and corporate shills

Really makes me think

Not everything can be pirated like always-online games, Denuvo games etc. I'm so glad I didn't buy that piece of shit INSIDE and waited for it to get cracked, I almost bought it

>One developer does thing I don't like
>'All of vidya is cancer and I hope it dies!'

No chances, I know someone who used to work for a AA pc dev, files on the DVD where fucking useless and unable to run the game the company ceo doing all the decision hate physical format, apparently it's the same in all the industry day one patch are easier to distribute using steam

That was just one example. Are you saying that DLC, invasive DRM, season pass, microtransactions, pre-order hype culture, "standard" sets where games are sold at 60$ for just the basic and 110$ for the full game is healthy for the industry? Not to mention that faggots like Microsoft have started forcing Win10 more and more etc... This is one of the shittiest and most cancerous industries that exists. NO OTHER industry is this greedy and retarded and I just stopped giving a fuck to support anyone. Even indie games are shitty "art-games" and critic baits these days

I bought hitman on g2a, 2 weeks later it was removed from my steam account.
Wow what an incredible website!

Doom is still like $80 so fuck that. I love g2a and haven't once been burnt out. Even if that were to happen, their customer support is p good, at least to me. I feel as if ever since faggot let's player and kotaku started to rip on g2a, so has Sup Forums (really makes you think). Who gives a shit you moral fags.

lol

Wow, I was hoping people this stupid was a myth.

Jack in the box breakfast burrito

>buying from g2a instead of pirating
Hopefully no one would do this except for online games where you need a legit copy

G2A is literally the exact same thing as buying a used game functionally
