That's only for keys purchased on the developer's own website though, right? Surely if the key was bought directly from Steam, then Steam would handle voiding the key?
Worth noting that G2A claims to compensate developers "10 times the sum lost" if the key was bought on the dev's own website, and the dev in the article is claiming that isn't really the issue.
- dkersten 7y agoG2A claim that if you can prove that you lost the money due to a chargeback, but I imagine its a pretty difficult thing to prove. Seems similar to having a bug bounty with a lot of restrictions on what's allowed and then claiming you're software is bug-free because nobody ever claimed the bounty.
- tinodotim 7y ago> Surely if the key was bought directly from Steam You can't buy keys directly from Steam. There is steam gifting to gift games directly to accounts, but that got heavily restricted over the years. (You can't "hoard" gifts anymore in your account without activating them - on neither end, you can't gift when the price difference is too big between regions, if you decline a gift it automatically gets refunded for the giver, and so on...)
