Is it really worth buying off key sites? It’s your own moral compass so if you decide that’s what’s right it is what it is
If you have any suggestions for any other topics surrounding the games community let me know!
u worded that wrong, paying 5 instead of 15 is definitely worth the price, just not the right thing to do
i agree with you but yet i am still a brokie so gotta do what i have to do
eh kinda stupid tbh, you are either fully against it or not. You cant just say doing it to AAA gaming is fine as those devs are also reliant on it and if it sells meh or bad then they loose their jobs. And if the game is bad... why would you buy it?
Hi! There is a small chance you will read this but why would pirating be better? I am not trying to argue or be annoying I genuinely don’t know.
In the video you said the keys on the sketchy sites are from stolen credit cards. Are those keys bought off of first party (Steam)? If they are then I assume the money wouldn’t go to the creators because it’s fraudulent, but then why would pirating be better, it doesn’t give them money either?
I am not saying that I will ever use those sites. I don’t pirate either. I am not trying to argue and sorry if I missed the answer to this in the video. I am just curious. Thanks
@@oliverbertrand the money used to buy keys with stolen credit cards gets refunded to the true owners of the cards and the devs don't get a penny from it from what i know thats why they would rather you pirate them rather than buying from sites like g2a where when u buy them only the reseller gets the money
The thought of Ubisoft _losing_ money from me buying their games is an enticing one to be sure
its not about them losing money ... its about u supporting the crimminal underworld .. your money could be going to support a murder u could steal the game or not play it ... its not ethical to support crimminals even if the company makign the product is shady if its that bad then u dont support anyone

Fun fact the intro video's music was pirated and the advert creators got sued for it
That's delicious irony..
I think that was disputed, and turned out it was a different anti-piracy song
Yeah it was a different video, the confusion came from the news articles on it including a screenshot of this PSA instead.
Would be funny. I remember actually being forced to watch that pre-roll, I can't remember if it was DVDs or games, probably both.
@@theRPGmasterdon’t remember any games ever having it but EVERY dvd used to.
Funny fact. Usually game devs can't do anything against this, because they can't prove that the keys are not legit due to sales. Factorio won their legal dispute because they have never had a sale on their game. The only way to obtain the game legally, was to buy it full price.
Factorio on top
yay...
And now good luck getting people to buy your games. I wouldn't pay $30 for a game like factorio while I can get a much better AAA like RDR2 on steam sale. I just don't see it being worth it if you compare the quality.
Factorio for what it is should be $20 max. But I don't find it fun anyway. And this is not coming from a regular key buyer or anything, I buy games full price when I can, bought Elden Ring instantly for $60
@@DirtL Plenty of people buy Factorio, it has overwhelmingly positive reviews I think they're doing just fine. The game isn't for me either but it's clear that it's very well thought out and does what it set out to do very well.
thankfully they won the dispute because its probably one of the best building games ever made
one golden rule: 70% off steam sale = buy
That is a really bad strategy to adopt considering many desperate and unscrupulous devs intentionally overprice their game and then put them on sale all the time to make it look like you're getting a deal.

thats crazy.... opens g2a in the next tab
Few years back, 2016-ish, I remember that some of those keys sites used to buy keys from other countries where they are cheaper, I don’t know if it’s still the case
Those loopholes got closed earlier this year.
Running With Scissors are some of the most vocal game devs out there when it comes to Game Keys, and I love them for it
They've even said that it's ok if you pirate thier games if you can't afford them as long as you support them in the future. Absolutely based devs.
@@chitan1362 they know they can't prevent piracy and it would cost them more to try than they lose, plus they get good publicity.

RWS in general is awesome, they remind me of old school Valve devs (which tbf they’re fairly close to being)
@@chitan1362 and it was that comment that got me to buy the postal fudge pack 3 seperate times, cos they deserved the money for the countless copies of postal 2 i shared around back in the day, the triple A guys, eh they can go get knotted. make a game worth buying and ill buy it. anyways back to randomized deus ex
I usually pay full price for Indie games but if it's a triple A game I'll just get it wherever the cheapest is. Fanatical is a good site for third party keys, they even have preorders for new games that save you $10 on a $70 game.
so u dont feel like its morally wrong to support organized crime groups and even terrorists they do internet scams like this big ones u sure u wan to support that
I'm pretty sure Fanatical sources their keys directly from the publishers unlike G2A.. so theres no downside in using it... :)
Only thing you'll save $10 on is your 2D girlfriend which costs you $10 per day in anime clothes and body pillows.
10$ isn't enough. if you buy csgo skins from third party sites and sell them on the community market you'll usually end up with 20% more $ than you spent on skins, even after the market tax. AND if you don't like the game, you can refund it, which you can't with keys
i pirate all my indie games cause im silly like that
I've only ever really felt the need to buy keys for incredibly over priced triple A garbage that never goes on sale anyways. when it comes to indie games I'm always up for buying the game full price because I know the money is actually going toward the dev as apposed to some random cock sucker suit.
yea
I feel that with overpriced triple a. Why are old cod games still 60 dollars?
@@PSIGOD Activision does that on purpose so people can buy the newer games that are filled with microtransactions and hopefully the user buys bundles so Acti can gain more money. Hopefully microsoft will change this practice.

@@RemindThemAboutGeorgeFloyd denuvo DRM in question
I'm only comfortable buying keys for delisted games, since I would think that the key supply being cut off makes it harder to illegally obtain keys.
I'd say that's within fair reason, half the time it's big games that get exclusive deals with Epic Games or Licencing that runs out which is just 👎 lmao
I got Fall Guys on Steam via that method
I will buy keys from whoever, however, whenever. We are not the same
delisted games can end up getting jacked up so much in price though, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon city is going up to 200 dollars on G2A despite the delist being temporary according to capcom.
@@Swoinyi'll just pirate it
One important thing that was not addressed in the video is that not everyone that has their credit card stolen by the key sellers gets a refund or the money back from insurance. Some older of less tech savvy victims may not know what to do in these situations and not act in time. Even buying AAA games from these shady sites is not necessarily victimless.
The intro of this video is absolutely phenomenal. I love the use of Source Engine SFX to censor Names. In general the video is very well paced. I hope the TH-cam algorithm continues blessing your channel.
Agreed. Just got it in my recommended. I already kinda knew how it worked so I tuned it out but I'm rewatching it rn

@@BlackYoshiPlays iirc, it was basically an ad on TV trying to convince people that pirating music/videos would get them arrested. It was around the limewire era when everybody was loading bootlegged movies onto blank DVD's
@@BlackYoshiPlaysIt was mostly in front of bought DVDs of movies. It is from the eta of the 2000s when I remember correctly. They show you that, to prevent you from pirating in general like a PSA.
It's so utterly insane to me that people who earn their money playing games beg developers for free games. The thought of doing so if I ever "made it big" genuinely never even fucking occured to me
yeah that happens with almost every influencer/creator business if you have 10k-150k followers or subscribers youll ask companies for free games, weed, anything you can review as a small fee for you to probably review it since it costs the company much less to give you some of their product instead of straight up cash
yeah it's kinda dumb. It is advertising techincally, but why ask? Just play their games on streams normally and maybe they'll give you early access or a free key next time they release a game if they feel that you making content is benefitting them. Begging for it is just dumb, especially if you have enough views/subs to pay for it yourself
Most of the ones you get keybeg mail from don't "earn" enough to offset the cost of electricity they're spending.
They're probably just kids and teenagers looking for a free game. Their parents usually buys them twitch and youtube accounts with some followers/subs so they can pretend that they're content creators.
It's not really begging. Professional reviewers often have relationships with publishers, etc. where they get free things to review, usually before release, but if they don't get a copy, they'll usually just wait and buy it themselves if it's important for them. It's expensive to buy everything you're reviewing and the people selling the thing want publicity.

@@lilwoodiewood3457 i agree, Like ok man just admit you are doing something thats quite an asshole move, dont pretend youre somehow in the right
Not everyone lives in a developed country and can afford to pay 30-60$ a game. I think this is one of the main reasons so many buy from sites like G2A, etc.
Prices for games are much lower in developing countries. It's just the AAA garbage that is sold at full price everywhere.

Cd keys is better
I am going to buy big games from key sites because I live in Poland and 70$ game costs me around 84$ on Steam with my 900$ salary per month. New games are usually broken at release and key shops are my way to take back some of the money that game studios are stealing from me
Here the salary is 400$ dolars and games are 80$... i just wait 2 year for promotions to buy, never paid more than 15$ in a game
same brother, but instead I just pirate absolutely everything unless it's ps5 exclusives or when gta 6 comes out, I'm getting that shit on pre order
Game studios haven't stolen anything from you, you chose to buy games immidiately instead of waiting for some gameplay footage to be released and make an informed decision.

@@HCIbn yep that's how much we make here, so imagine getting a device for 500$ being left with 400$ for other bills, or even a game for 70$ that's a massive cut from your paycheck nonetheless and it isn't a brainless purchase which doesn't even have to be seriously considered like in the US, sucks, but it is what it is

Video Summary:
The video discusses the key sources for game key sites and the shady practices of some key resellers, including the use of stolen credit cards and fraudulent keys. It highlights the negative impact on indie developers and the potential risks for customers. Additionally, it provides a tool for finding verified third-party sellers and notifies users when games go on sale.
- 00:00 Key reseller sites like g2a have a bad reputation among Indie developers, to the point where some developers prefer piracy over buying from these sites.
- 02:09 Legit game key sites get their keys from first-party sellers, official resellers, and shady gray market sellers who often use stolen credit cards or scam game developers to get the keys.
- 04:21 Gamers and content creators are requesting game keys for Meteorites 3D to play and stream on platforms like Twitch and TH-cam.
- 06:34 Using gray market key sites can cause financial losses for smaller developers, who may not be able to pay back chargebacks due to low income from their games.

Most keys that g2a sellers are selling aren't obtained "unethically" only a very small percentage. Most of them are just keys that resellers buy when the game goes on sale and they resell those keys after the sale is over at a price above what they bought them for but below retail price.

MORE INTRO PLZZZ IM NOT KIDDING THAT WAS SICKKKKDKFSKJLHFSKLDJB
I bought Meteorites 3D a while ago and randomly came across this video, i didnt know you were the creator. The game is Amazing. Keep up the content and the game making.
Pretty interesting that devs have to deal with 'streamers' asking for keys - as a streamer I'm constantly inundated with email requests by sketchy devs asking me to play their game and promote it (for free, of course). Funny it can go both ways, and also really annoying!!
This is the best Meteorites 3D ad I've seen. Ended up checking out the game out of weird curiosity and I like how it turns the 2D vector graphics Asteroids into a 3D wireframe version. I would've never considered that.
blud did not play hollow knight
@@Riass bud*
I love the video, its really interesting how people will would do these shady things and rob others of a income , keep it up bro your channel is going to grow
I find it hard to believe that all the hundreds of thousands of keys out there are obtained by bots pretending to be streamers or youtubers based on 5 screenshot and the opinion of 3 developers. (I'm not saying this doesn't happens, but i don't think it is relevant for sales)
What's sad about first official revellers is that often their prices are higher or same as first party stores offers with regional pricing. So, if I don't have money for a game, I can only wait for sale at official store or use gray market ones (though even they nowdays aren't competitive)
Bit late but while this is true for new games, anything that is a bit older (let's say 3+ years) is usually way cheaper to buy from legit resellers unless it's a game that got delisted or that has some sought-after content.
@@Tomas9970_1 Lateness doesn't matter. Still, the main issue is regional pricing. Most official resellers don't have regional pricing and target Western countries. Usually this mean there is barely any difference or even more expensive. And yearly inflation of local currency in double digits doesn't make things better.
Found out about fanatical like 5 months ago and it's all I've used since. Glad to know it happens to be ethical too.
Literally get 95% of my games from them for the past 4 years. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
I love karma slop thank you for spreading awareness!
I decided a long time ago that I was no longer going to use pirated software, so I am out of the loop on how people pirate software now. It used to be when a new game or any type of software was released, that there were teams of pirates competing to be the first to crack the copy protection. Later on, once copy protection was defeated and you could easily download a full copy of any game, keygens and registration hacks became popular.
Developers started requiring software to check with them online to verify your license before it would run. People were getting around this by modifying the software to point to alternate site set up by pirates to falsely verify the license. That’s around the time I decided to only use software I legally owned.
The emails from the “Content creators” look like something straight out of a tycoon video game or something. 😂😂
Remember guys- It is completely morally righteous to steal from EA
I've used key sites for cosmetics (Promo skins from things like Doritos or MTN Dew that aren't available in my country) and this got me wondering if the codes are also obtained in a shady manner.
More than likely not. For those all it took was someone going and buying a Mountain Dew, they were making 5x profit atleast. Some hurt made a Burger King account and got it that way.
Thank you for such an awesome and informative video! I've always wondered this and I'm glad I've never used a 3rd party key site

the real problem isn't the grey market sites, they are solving a problem
a problem created by greedy developers such as Activision selling 10+ year old games at full price
the people buying the keys aren't able to pay first or third party prices because they aren't affordable for them
piracy is a service issue plain and simple
The game companies should just start offering demos again. I don't want to pay 40-60$ for something that I can't even have a taste of. Also, I'm pretty sure that refunding games after trying them for a few minutes on steam will just cause every refund request being denied after some time.
You can refund if you played less than 2 hours
I never used these as I always suspected that the keys were stolen. Right now, I'm lucky enough to just be able to buy games at their full price, but before that, I just always used to wait for a Steam sale (that is after I decided that I didn't like piracy anymore in 2007. Before that I pirated literally everything).

That’s intro haha! Felt like I was watching 1998-2003 movie again 😂
This intro gave me a lot of nostalgia
This is a very well put together video keep it up!
In the UK most games that are digital download with no physical copy retail online for between an average of 60-70gbp so if I can get any legit key for 45gbp then I know what I'm going to always do. I generally use CD keys as it's trusted and tested by myself.
I use CDKeys for AAA games, they're a weird one. They don't seem to obtain their keys entirely ethically, but also don't obtain them illegally. From their FAQ it says: "We buy from all corners of the globe to ensure the cheapest possible prices" which indicates they abuse regional pricing.
I stick to Steam or things like Fanatical for indie games... but like you said, fuck those egregiously priced AAA games lol
I used CDKeys for FIFA because it's like a third of the price, but indie games I use Steam because I wanna support the devs
I haven't watched this video, but my main guess is that they purchase gifts and keys from games when they are on sale/discount in large quantities. They then resell these at or below market value such that its cheaper for the customer to drive sales AND to still have profit. It's kind of like those shoe resellers but without the annoying personality.
Edit: I was kind of right. Though feel abit shameful knowing that I do use these sites myself knowing that it was from someone elses credit card... I guess for AAA titles i don't really mind as much because lets be honest their business practices aren't so ethical either so.
Apotos City day theme,

i find it so funny that devs prefer piracy over shady key sites.
"if i cant get a sale, NO ONE CAN!"
Im a bit late to the party, but its worth mentioning that loads of these keys also come from Humble Bundle monthly. The whole site is for charity, so reselling those is pretty scummy. Im surprised you didnt add this to your video
You realize what you're advocating against is people who purchased goods being able to use those goods as they see fit, correct?
How do you feel about old games selling for higher than retail price simply because they're old
Yes I am. I mean, its a smart move, buying a bundle or being subscribed to monthly, and then you resell those keys for higher profit. But its just not right to use a site meant for charity to fill your own pockets
I find that to be shitty as well

I would agree that those sites hurt devs worse than piracy, though I hate the "just pirate it" advice since pirated games are notorious for being packed with malware, usually the relatively benign sort so that users can naively and confidently claim they've "nEvEr GoTtEn A ViRuS" while completely oblivious to the fact that they have a RAT on their system. Cracks require you to run unsigned modified executables and/or DLLS, often at admin level permissions, which alongside someone giving you something for nothing makes it extremely untrustworthy to anyone with the most basic understanding of computer security.
I love the Tim Curry-esque delivery of "stolen credit caaaaaard"

Shut up mark!
If this is the case, then maybe devs can match the price of games on official stores. It is always a supply problem when customers look for alternatives.

as someone who pirates game oftenly even with indie games I'm so embarrass and glad to hear an indie dev approve to just get the game completely free instead going to a shady site for the cheaper game I remember having a dilemma to just pirate a game or buy it in a cheaper key but atleast it supports the devs righ? haha, how glad how wrong I was and right to just pirate the game.
So if i buy game from G2A Ubisoft not only will not get money, it will lose more, thank you it is even better then?
@G2A those keys are link to other steam accounts. If you don't believe me just google it.
I used to use a TH-cam account with subscribers and views to get free keys (through websites that give you keys for promotion of the game) and resell them on sketchy sites that didn't require verification. Most if not all require verification and I ended up getting kicked off the platforms, pretty scummy move from me but I did it anyway

Tbh, I think that anyone returning a game after playing it for a video (on a platform that allows revenue for the video) should not be able for refunds, as they are recieving funds for something they didn't "pay" for.
And I won't be surprised if game companies & inde devs stop allowing any refunds due to such actions.
...bad enough that major corporations are trying to bleed everything for a handful of investors, we don't need a bunch more people taking advantage of everything for the same reasons...
if thats happening he game is bad and the person dosent want it thats what refunds are for when u buy a game and dont want it
I never used either 3rd party or grey market, only 1st party. I simply don't buy new games, I always wait for huge sales even if it takes months. It helps a lot that most new games are trash anyway. lol

I rarely if ever check g2a for indie games anyway because most of the time indie games are affordable and not 70 fucking dollars
Based and indie pilled, actually dogwater how much “triple a” games are selling for now for basically just watching a movie with no gameplay
@@KingOfKarma so your saying in your other comments its ok to support crimminals who steal from senile grandmas ... but its not ok to steal from a indie game dev only aaa studios ...
yeah for sure, these "aaa" games are 100 dollars and are terrible, I have not seen a good "AAA" game in fucking forever maybe Elden ring or something but call of duty? nah@@lilwoodiewood3457
3:42 WHERE IS THIS CLIP FROM😂
10 months later did you ever find out?
Just leaving a comment here so that I get notified if someone finds out.
Dev here. Many of those emails we receive are from people pretending to be actual game influencers. I no longer respond to them
Key sites do have their use especially in very poor places, I knew a guy from Venezuela who sold keys on G2A to make ends meet and he managed to make enough to eventually move to Argentina and get a real job
When you want to charge £35 for an indie game and I can get it for £3, I don’t care
I give 0 shits, most of the 250 games on my steam account are from G2A
i have bought 84 products on g2a including games, random keys and dlcs and ive never been scammed and all my games still work.
I find it funny to see the mental gymnastic some people are willing to make here...
"I use G2A only to buy from bad, evil, greedy corporation like EA or Ubisoft. I pay full price only for indie game devs
cope harder
You’re right, that’s why I also buy indie games on these sites
@@legitplayin6977 giga chad
i mean ive boughten a total of 84 products on g2a and not once been scammed and all my games still work so 🤷♂
@@CrazyBanditNexter Reading comprehension is hard, I know
I really didn't know that, thank you for enlighting me!
I always used to crack AAA games and buy indie games from these shady third party sellers because I thought I was still supporting them somehow, just at a cheaper price
guess I'll have to crack every game now if it is too expensive for me :p
that intro took me way back to when I was growing up...
7:32 I prefer to pirate the games.
sorry game devs but the economy is in no state for me to be paying full price for games
Loved the JJJacksfilms easter egg in the video the description
Thanks for the info. I also thank you for sharing the Is there any deal site. That will come in handy for sure.
