Nonsense, 860 games from keysites and none removed by steam ! nothing wrong with keysites.
Another one with a 980ti, so clearly money to spend, who won't support the developers by paying what they ask for their games.
Congratulations.
If you're using G2A, etc, you might as well torrent them, tbh. If you're not going to pay the asking price, why pay anything at all?

The keys are cheaper elsewhere, therefore I will buy where the games are cheaper, couldn't care less about the developers tbh. Why pay anything at all? because I want the games and its cheaper, not rocket science mr fox.
Just wanted to quote this in case you edit it later
At least you're honest, I guess.
But you do realise that devs who go out of business won't be making games that you clearly enjoy?
Permabanned
Why would I edit it? doesn't bother me in the slightest, and I don't care like I said lol, plenty more games will always be made and always be cheaper. I will always say how it is mate.
I think if seeing deals on this thread upsets you this much you best avoid the Daily Deals Thread. I don't think you'll be able to convince people that they stop being frugal with their money and pay the Steam, EA, etc sticker price.

Pretty sure the retailers set the asking price for games.
In case people missed it due to the derailing of this thread:

Haha class.
I've nothing to add, but just wanted to say I agree with you as you seem to be on your own.
Not that avoiding shady key sites means paying steam prices, there is a middle ground with legit key sellers, which is where I generally shop aside from the odd steam sale.
Probably wasting your time though tbh, most people don't care as long as they get the best deal for themselves.
C'mon Fox, your PC crusade isn't going to cut it. Both sides have valid points, there are no right answers or opinions in this situation, just move on.
Video Gaming is pretty much up there as one of the most profitable industries and PC gaming is making a resurgence, so obviously grey market sites aren't causing any harm.
Well, is it more healthy to give one developer £40 if that's all you can spare for video games, or 4 developers £10 each? I think you'll find a lot of grey site customers pay the same amount in to the industry as those who buy from Steam/GMG. They just walk away with way more games to never play.

You've already demonstrated your class, by saying that you couldn't care less if developers go out of business, due to grey market sites hurting their sales.
Class, indeed.
If you could have got your GTX980ti 1/2 price, from a "dodgy" seller (likely "fallen off the back of a lorry" stuff), would you do it?

Haha, enjoy paying FULL PRICE for steam games for the rest of your life lol. And actually I got a great deal on my hardware And tbh Mr Fox I couldn't care less how "class" people on this forum think I am, its just text on the net end of the day.

Er, nope. There are other legit places to go; you don't need to buy direct from Steam.

Yeah I don't pay the Steam price either. But there are tons of authorised resellers.
The difference is auth resellers are doing Witcher 3 for £22, grey market sites for £12.
Even if Steam is selling it for £50, the "real" price is £22 that the auth sites are charging.

So then tell me what sites do you use, because I use 2 sites only. G2A and Kinguin, but clearly they don't cut it for you.
