I bought COD Black Ops 2 from G2A for $13. It’s currently listed at $60 on Steam. Paying a little more for the guard makes it tough to buy at full price on Steam. What do you think?

None because of that, but if it's that much cheaper, definitely go for it!

I haven't used the g2a shield before and I've never faced any issues.

I favor local stores such as Flipkart or Amazon because they’re usually just slightly pricier than G2A and deliver a ready copy of the game. G2A offers region-specific keys, which I find ethically troubling since it highlights the rise of region locking. Additionally, coming from India, if games were priced at $60 like in the US, I wouldn’t be interested—after all, that’s only half what most earners here make, and I’d prefer the price differences to be justified morally.

I remember what I said long ago and faced criticism for it. Individuals tend to be protective of their interests and will fight fiercely to maintain them.

I've expressed this for years about G2A—it's really unethical, and its gray-market tactics are never acceptable. People are still selfish, and they keep defending it no matter what.

Thanks for noticing that! I'll keep my stance and share my thoughts when asked. After all, that's the purpose of the internet, isn't it? If someone strongly disagrees, I'll save my energy—it's straightforward.
