[Social Talk] Better to use piracy, G2A

G2A is a game ESD site in Poland, which is a resale site for sellers of Game Keys.

It covers not only games but also software that requires a key like vaccine.

The biggest advantage of this site is the price. We do not ask about the source of Key, so we can buy and sell software in countries where prices differ like in the case of Microsoft's Venezuela, or buy discounted keys such as educational institutions.

We encourage users to donate a portion of the saved price by encouraging them to donate, and Save The Children is the organization that makes the most donations.

I think this is a very good company, but ...

However, this business structure of G2A is an act that damages the normal game ecosystem.

This is because it intercepts normal rewards from game developers and distributors.
The price of a country is calculated based on the price of the area, which is the same as the price of a bargain, and the process of reimbursing it is costly and time consuming.

The problem is pointed out that such sales and purchases are also made through stolen cards, so they are also usefully used as a method of washing black money.

Sniper Elite3 has taken action to revoke the Key, as there has been an incident in which the creator of tinyBuild who created the Punch Club did not receive the $ 450,000 value.

Hackers hacked the Steam account, sold all of the items in the item lockers, bought the game with it and sold it on G2A in gift form, did not have a CD key purchased in TinyBuild with a stolen card, I was able to get a cashback through the theft report, so there was a problem that the developers and distributors would all use the dump.

So what did G2A do? They have not done anything.
The G2A Shield is a money-giving and refundable system that gives priority to refunds and customer inquiries. The solution was a royalty payment for game companies, but it was a solution that only resulted in the development of the G2A business model.

In fact, developers have released their games through Torrent and announced that they will release it for free if they buy games on G2A.

In capitalist society, capital and money can be the greatest value.

It is also natural that the phenomenon of material universality has appeared.

However, the act of breaking down a market that can develop in this way is not just a detriment to the market, but it can cause the whole cultural phenomenon to lag or collapse.

Recognizing that simply buying a game inexpensively can cause some consequences later,

I think that the creation of an ecosystem that pays fair value and value should work hard.
