Well I have been in the army for 2 years and 2 months at the age of 18 and I am still going to the army 3-4 times per year for training as a veteran :P

I have seen and done things that normal people wouldn't do. :O
Sometimes I even refused orders from my Commander.
Almost go to jail for that but after the commander realized that if I shoot I would kill many innocent people.
He just simple thanked me ><

"Where the logic stops the Army starts" is just a slogan we are saying here in my country.

Good Luck Mr. Samsai!


I was one of the boys who were responsible to make shots on these "small shooting cars" :P

Buy games from G2A? You should just stop already, tinyBuild lost out on approx $450K of sales
21 June 2016 at 8:50 am UTC

Quoting: tickSomething I don't get is why it is impossible to match a credit card transaction to a steam key. I mean: why is it impossible when receiving the chargeback for the editor to say "OK, for this transaction I sold this key. Invalid transaction => invalid key". I understand this is impossible, not to invalidate a key but to know which key to invalidate and I don't understand why. This would be the solution : if someone buy a key from G2A that suddenly becomes invalid, they would at least ask for a refund to G2A who would lose money or attack the frauders.
Does someone know and could explain, please ?

just a quick example:

Indiegamestand has the stolen/fraud cards associate with the steam keys that have been purchased.
The problem is that Steam doesnt have an API that will revoke the stolen keys from the users immediately.
It doesnt give that feature on third party vendors. I dont know how long it will take to contact steam and force steam to revoke codes from a third party vendor. I guess is pretty much impossible, maybe is easier for the game developer to revoke steam keys. I dont know that for sure.

Have in mind that G2A is selling also "legitimate" steam keys from Humble,Bundlestars or any other bundle side etc. so is impossible to revoke these codes.Actually every user can sell anything on G2A and steam or GOG codes make it much easier for transactions.

just to calm things a bit down

Party Hard
SpeedRunners

have been in bundles and SpeedRunners could be sold in a 4 pack before ages ago with russia market on sales for 1 cs:go key around 2$ split pack.

Here is an example how trades are working (i think this guy buys a lot of keys and cheap from humble monthly buyers)
https://www.steamgifts.com/trade/hFEU8/h-csgo-keys-w-the-forest3khurtworld3k-life-is-feudal-your-own35k-humble-bundle

Tiny build lost a lot from Punch Club since it has not been in any bundle so the amount he lost is like 13k and not the extreme amount of 450k

Thats my humble opinion...
credit fraud is disgusting and I am against that and all kind of thievery.

I used to have an online shop selling hardware and software but we closed it immediately after the first hacks/frauds we noticed.
We had it online for like 2-3 years and Lost like 700-800 Euro because of that, not much but it really destroys any plans you have for the future.
So in short I understand the situation and especially if there are a lot of money involved.

Unfortunately as a developer you cant revoke all the steam keys because you will make your fans angry but maybe if developers distribute the keys to less shops at the start and after a 3-6 months period to distribute it to more less secure shops?

I want to blame a bit the developers as well..
We all know the reason why people do this...buying cheaper...
Sometimes or actually most of the developers on their games release date they are demanding extremely high prices for their games.
Lets say for example Planetary Annihilation was like 60-90 Euro on Early access
I find games like that overpriced and ofc I would save my money to buy something else
And yes there are a lot of games that are extremely overpriced for their content.

These overpriced games lead the users to find ways to get some cheap games or at least to find a better way to get the games they want cheaper. Most users they can easily pirated the new game and when it gets cheaper they buy it from a legal store.
if the developers could put a logical price I believe that most of the users would buy from a legit store than to find it cheaper elsewhere or wait for summer sales or bundle games.
Before years ago we had steam Russia Market where you could buy steam games on Russia prices but unfortunately valve blocked cross region trade so you cant do this anymore :P
For example you could buy SteamWorld Heist for 6.52$ instead of 20$
Well steam has some issues with currencies because in some regions some games are overpriced and in some other regions are cheaper.

Anyway lets hope valve will find a way to deal with this but is not actually valves problem.
Is more about the developers and how they distribute their keys provided by Steam.
