It doesn't necessarily mean you're funding a business that enables this kind of activity. It's about your own decision and understanding. Ultimately, it comes down to your preferences and past experiences, and I don’t have all the details.
@ShadowCaptain what actions should be taken? Consider possible strategies to prevent key theft. There seems to be no genuine method unless a third party (like the police or a credit card firm) intervenes. g2a is the marketplace for game codes, with many stolen items sold daily on ebay, but nobody holds blame since they can't verify every single transaction.
@ShadowCaptain it reminds me of eBay but on a much smaller scale, which means they charge for things like fraud protection (like G2A Shield for a small fee). Codes are usually randomly made by third-party systems such as Steam or Microsoft, not by the publisher, and they’re often automatically generated by programs. Most offers aren’t officially recognized because enforcement bodies like police or credit card companies rarely get involved and don’t know who to contact. It’s a whole new era of online sales with little regulation, and that’s not G2A’s responsibility—they don’t work with any companies and likely tried verifying codes with publishers but failed. Until a big player—probably Steam—sets up proper game law enforcement, there’s no control. When you buy games, even directly from sources like Origin or Steam, there’s always a risk the game you get could be stolen fraudulently.
PsiSyndicate also shared an excellent video focusing on the most important details about G2A sales. People typically obtain keys through Steam sales, giveaways, or Humble Bundle. If keys are lost, G2A usually handles backcharges, but it doesn’t happen here. For OP, grab ArmA 3 if you haven’t already, and if you don’t, get Apex.
