Choice of "someone gets the game for free" or "someone gets rewarded for defrauding your customers", that's an easy one, yeah

Eneba is selling pirated keys?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

How does g2a even work? I've bought a few keys there before and they worked. I assume these keys were given to someone from like a promo or something then they just resell it?

they buy keys using stolen credit cards and then resell them

And then the owner of the card issues a chargeback, so they lose more money (chargeback fees can be $25-$100) than if you'd have just torrented it.

Technically they could revoke the key as well, but that tends to cause a bit of fuss and bad PR so they don't often bother.

So the lesson is clear. Buy your keys on G2A with stolen credit cards.

What about Instant Gaming ? Is it also a website that only resales keys or do they have some kind of partnership with game devs?
