I recall GOG saying somewhere that it doesn't sell codes, especially through resellers. Has this changed? I just found what I've attached below and its the only way to buy the game in my currency. Obviously not gonna buy from G2A but if they could sell codes like this, why can't GOG sell them in some regionally priced store like GMG or gamersgate at least? They're clearly not going to add the ability to buy easily from India soon and if they're giving out keys like this, why not sell them via resellers that do regional pricing instead of scum like G2A?

its likely a key bought on sale from a lower priced country now being flip-flopped on that shitshow of a site

And this is why we can't have nice things like easy-to-buy gifts! Blargh.

"Seller: Okinawa_Sunrise". Doesn't look like GOG to me.

I'm kinda wondering why GOG gifts are still the thing on G2A or Kinguin. Aside from such cases like re-selling Stalker keys (possible due to redeeming "CD-key" thing), gifts are sold from very long time on GOG for "international" price (so higher than "preferred" prices from cheaper regions). How is it still "doable"?

Kinda annoys me, because it seems that "re-sellers" still have their methods, and when I wanted to gift some games to my siblings when they were discounted (on GOG), and I had twice situation, when some games were slightly cheaper on GOG in Poland than in other regions... But not when I wanted to buy gift.

But to get a code you must buy it as a gift right? I was thinking of how GOG could make buying from them easier and it crossed my mind that they could sell on proper key resellers as an alternative to adding many foreign currencies quickly as many key sites have the infrastructure already.

Has GOG ever considered region locked / time barred game codes?
What about region / time barred wallet codes?

If GOGs stance had changed about key re-sellers, you'd know about it. The only exception I've seen was in some Humble Bundle sale, but that is very rare.

Humble Store has at least 1 game available on it that provides a redeemable GOG key.
