most of the time a lot more than that is saved. makes no sense paying full wack when there is no need to.
There is an alternative to grey market sellers. Wait (years) for discounts. After thinking about it, I'm not sure the devs wouldn't rather you use CDKeys instead
The advantage of waiting 2+ years is that by then hardware is a lot cheaper!
I'm not even joking. This is basically what I do. I play games 2+ years after they release. I buy them for peanuts. I don't use grey market sellers at all.
Tbh vs grey market sites I'm not sure it makes any difference in terms of $$$ in the devs pockets. Perhaps they'd prefer to have a return on investment before 2 years after they released
I suppose in the end people buying on the grey market probably spend more than I do (I rarely if ever buy for more than £5-10). Whereas people buying from CDKeys are (often) spending £20+ on a new release (vs the £35-£50 that Steam will ask on Day1).
Wonder if any resident devs would like to comment
Which is worse.. me waiting 2+ years and getting your product for next to nothing, or people buying BRICS keys on grey market sites on Day1
