Not every key is prohibited, only a few are. You’re generalizing the issue. Think of it like taking someone’s car—you didn’t buy it, you stole it, which is what piracy involves. Some keys are real ones where creators receive royalties or payments; when you pirate them, you’re taking something that wasn’t yours to begin with.
If you believe most keys on G2a are acceptable, you might be mistaken. While I often buy items for a small profit, spending thousands just to resell them for a few hundred is unlikely. It’s probably a mix of both legal and bundled deals, but it’s improbable that the majority are genuine.
No cost is preferable to facing reimbursement or transaction charges after a cancellation or when players become dissatisfied with having their games removed.
Understanding the situation involves recognizing that purchasing stolen items is against the law. No one will arrest you for buying from an authorized site, even if the keys are compromised—this is unlikely in your case since those games are outdated. Piracy is illegal, so continue justifying why illegal actions are preferable to avoid legal consequences. My perspective remains unchanged; I believe piracy doesn’t generate any income and violates the law. My argument isn’t based on isolated examples but on broader principles. G2A’s protection for pence helped me recover a functional key quickly without needing another download link, showing how practical solutions can work.
When you lose a single debate, redirect the conversation elsewhere. You’re representing the interests of the public. Of course, no one will be prosecuted for copying a game, old or new. These platforms are rife with unauthorized access regardless of release timing. Piracy may have legal consequences, but it still reduces the studios’ revenue from keys they never generated. Additionally, users rarely react negatively when their access is revoked.
