Kazadox: Anyone able to help?
As posted on the previous page:
phaolo: Well, now it's the weekend, so the chanches for a reply are quite low.
Btw G2A isn't an authorized GOG reseller, so you risk paying for the game and then seeing your game removed from your account..
It's the weekend. :D You were already answered if you had checked all replies.
Anyway, I get why people are not thrilled about you, but they still did help you by offering good advice - many of them pointed out the G2A keys are likely to be revoked, so don't think people are being nasty to you.
If they were, they'd be insulting you or just ignoring this thread, instead they offered good advice as people's keys from that site have been revoked here as well.
And the reason why people dislike G2A and are not happy about you wanting to buy from there? It's not only about supporting the devs directly, but moreover and most importanly, that G2A most likely has stolen or cheap keys from abroad, like Russia, so yes, if the key in Russia costs half the price (which is usually does), which is why the seller can offer it to you, then the devs do lose out on it, since they don't get for that key as much as when bought here. I hope you understand now why people are salty about G2A here. Everyone tries to save money, but buying from sites that sell stolen or resold keys is not looked well upon, despite them having good service by providing refunds for revoked keys with the Shield. And if you don't believe me, ask yourself this - why is the G2A Shield optional and mandatory? If the keys were legit and were revoked, any refutable seller would provide a new key or a refund automatically, like Steam or GOG does.
People here don't mind when others try to save money. They mind when someone willingly buys keys from a site that's well-known for having shady, if not outright stolen keys. It's like buying goods from a fence in real life, except it's a digital fence. Not sure if any money goes to the devs at all, that's the problem. (Don't confuse them with GOG, I mean the game's developers.)
