Well just did another awesome deal from that steam guy :D

2 days ago i bought from him

mordor
aliens isolation

for £50 :D

then this morning i just bought from him

alien isolation premium dlc season pack
mordor premium dlc / season pack
witcher 3 wild hunt
and spec ops the line

all for $80 :D £51
price checked all the stuff on steam and it comes to £91 = £40 saving :)
 
Does sound very shady imo lol

I'll add him when I get home, agreed quite shade :D

I'm going to guess that he amassed a gargantuan TF2 swag fortune back in the days when idling 1,000s of alternate accounts was still viable, and in a bittersweet analogy to real life once you have wealth its not too hard to keep it topped up with intelligent trading and investments...

Then trading TF2 keys for Steam keys and selling them on is how you convert back to real-world cash
 
I noticed a lot of Russian users buying the games as gifts as it cheaper on their steam store, then selling to ROW buyers for keys for profit.
 
Yeah, they're Russian keys which only have 1 version, some have 2 (Russian & ROTW) and they have their own steam ID.

Make sure you have GBP and click 'compare with' and add RU.
£ 31.99
руб 999 » £ 15.63 (-51.14%)

Both of them have the same ID 214490, so you know if you get a Russian gift copy, theres zero activation issues, its global.
Some will have 123456 & 123457, and thats when you know they've created a unique ID for a russian only version, and you'll have trouble activating that if your not in RU.
 
i can assure you the games i have bought are all legit uk versions :)
also my aliens isolation is preloading now :) and when i started the preload none of the text was in Russian it was all english + the english flag :D , not to say your lieing though there are people that do that sell Russian versions ect to people for cheap and they where expecting uk/english ect ect... this guy is not one of them, and i have bought quite a few games now from him.

------------------------

Anyway next on my hunt list is THE EVIL WITHIN + EXTRA`s Season pass Ect.

anyone know of a cheap place to get the full retail/english :)
the guy does not have this game as its a locked game meaning you cant get it via gift or pass ect. some games are locked and there is nothing you can do about that lol its down to the manufacturer ect ect...

so anyone know a cheap place.
 
NFS Rivals £3.74 from Origin (found on HUKD):
Log into the client, go to "Origin" in the top left and then "Launch Featured Today" and the deal should come up.

The point im making is that there isnt a Russian version of the 4 games you mentioned (ive just checked), while there are plenty of games which sell a version specifically for the Russian market.

Those 4 games can be bought for £15, £14 , £10 & £10. £50 basically, which is what you paid.

The evil within, game + season pass is £16 & £7, multi region. So you can buy it as a brit, american, aus, or rus, and you'll receive the exact same thing. You wont pay the same price though, if YOU pay your local price.

You can tell which are multi region and region specific as they'll have their own SKU. It seems unlikely someone would buy games and sell them for half their value, however they've bought them, cos im sure plenty of ppl would accept a £5 discount. The fact that they've worked out the same price as their RU price, is unlikely a coincidence.
Personally, i couldnt care less, ive bought a few games knowing they're Russian gifters (its what many key selling sites sell, unless its region specific, and you'll know by the higher price as they'll offer both), mostly when i know i wont pay full price for it and would instead just wait 12mo for a sale, so instead i cheat and buy a RU key.

Is is 'fair', not really, but im not pirating it, nor am i paying them less than i'd likely pay in a year. Im not justifying it either, im just pointing out im not saying you've bought them and taking food off developers plates, shame on you blah blah blah. So dont take it as though i think its wrong as such, im just pointing out they've probably been purchased at RU prices.
