    We are literally on a post with game devs explicitly asking you to pirate rather than purchase stolen keys from resellers. It has nothing to do with “dealers,” it has to do with the effects on the developers who have to deal with the fallout of the stolen keys. This isn’t hard to understand, it has been repeated by several indie devs throughout the years and I’m pretty sure they know more about their problems than you do, pal.

        People use stolen credit cards to optain those keys and often the developer is left with a ton of chargebacks aka wasted time and money!

            The game and future games from this developer? You may not want to throw coins into their goldbag, but at least don’t hurt them by paying another scum that results in bills for them.
