Actually, no. In fact, it would be better for CD Red if you got a Steam key instead. CD Red will not get a single cent from the G2A sale, but will have the cost of hosting it for you and giving you bandwidth. There is no point for CD Red if you are here, if you do not give them any monies, but only increase cost.

Secondly, many are against G2A because they are grey market sellers, which means a lot of the keys there comes from for example credit card frauds. Yes, you can get cheaper games there, but there is a reason why this is the case. It is generally a practice I would not support, as the market is dodgy and the developers do not get a cur from the sales, so you do not give any monies to the people who actually made the game. But that's only my opinion.

It's his money, there's no need to preach him what to do. Support developer this and that.

You lots should shut the fuck up.

Only sane person so far, thank you.

Still no reply from the support team :/

For obvious, previously stated reasons, you probably aren't going to hear from them.

Under the guarantee i will 100% hear from them.

Game hasnt been downloaded or installed or anything so yeah.

I did a refund request myself last weekend, based purely on buyer's regret, and I got my money back (well, credit) on Monday. That said, I did not mention g2a. Probably a wrong move there, pal; but they'll probably reply anyway.

Regarding g2a, I don't get it myself. It's kind of stupid and bad for everyone involved: The user still pays while risking being scammed, the dev gets no money at all, and the delivery platform (steam/gog) needs to support and provide bandwith for non-paying customers. Honestly, piracy seems like a better choice regardless of the angle I look at it.

Go away. Stay away. TIA.

"Dodgy credit card" = fraud, okay? It's not 'dodgy'. It's fraud. Someone stole a credit card number, used it to buy a Rocket League game code somewhere, you bought the code from G2A, G2A took their cut, the thief got the rest, the credit card holder got screwed - at least temporarily, the credit card company ate a bit of a loss, the original store didn't get the sale they thought they had, the developer didn't get the sale they thought they had, and the rest of us sucked up the admin costs of the fraud through higher prices, fees and rates.


That's why I'm against it. You're intentionally turning a blind eye to fraud so you can get stuff cheaper (stuff you can absolutely live without, by the way), and the rest of us pay more because of it. You'd like gOg to pay the difference in price between their site and G2A? Well, I want you to recoup all of us the difference in prices that we pay for things because you support fraud.


But hey - you got the games cheaper so it's all good!

Not any more, it ain't. It's GOG's, and their only obligation is to help the whiny cunt get his game to work. If you feel bad for him go suck his dick and make it all better.

You're shit out of luck because their only obligation to you is to get the game to work. lol

''GOG on the other hand are much more liberal with their refund policy. “European Union law states that you should have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase.” GOG explains. “That's not a bad deal, but it's not always enough. We think that 30 days is more like it, and that worldwide is just nicer - within that period, we only consider your purchase final if you've already started to actually download your game.''

The game HASNT been downloaded or installed. The purchase isn't final as it HASNT been downloaded.

That "snobbishness" comes out of a (albeit tough and begrudging) love for GOG, and the developers/publishers who have chosen to support it. That in turn comes out of the recognition that having only one dominant place to purchase games is bad for consumers, in addition to the consumer-unfriendliness of DRM. It also comes out of a recognition that the games we love don't just come from nothing. They come from people just like you and I, who deserve to be properly compensated for their time, talent and efforts just as much as we would.

I empathize with you, I really do. Being poor -- or at the very least, having very little disposable income -- plain sucks. On a base level, there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to save money. The problem is what that does to the rest of us as a whole -- namely developers and consumers. When people buy from arguably legally (or at least morally) shady companies like G2A or Kinguin, they're sending the implicit message that they don't care about developers or legitimate resellers being cheated out of profits that should be theirs. Those lost profits can be significant for an indie developer or smaller retailer.

It sucks being poor. But there are a ton of really great games and gaming experiences out there to be had legitimately for free or close to free. I should know, it's how I consumed games for years. Yes, they're not on par with the latest and greatest that the commercial AAA world has to offer, but they still have a lot to offer. And that's all the more reason to be careful about where you spend your gaming dollar, and what you spend it on.

And I apologize for sounding like a total asshole, but it doesn't justify buying from a company that willfully screws over someone else (be it someone with a stolen credit card number, a game developer, or a retailer) just so someone can get a game code for pennies on the dollar that could be revoked or removed at any time.

Yeah, but you're a whiny cunt that wants to rip them off, so what they should do is slap you silly and put a rootkit on your puter, because that's what you deserve.

Half the people in this world would give their right hand to be poor in a First World nation, FFS.
