> I'd never heard of G2A before this, but I'll be checking them out the next time I'm considering buying a game. Why not just pirate it like the developers ask

  The developers don't want people to pirate their games. They're just saying that pirating is less loss to them than the key resellers are, because the latter actually cost them time and effort on top of the lack of sale. Why not buy the game the honest way like a decent human being?

    Right, but the person I replied to said they will now buy from G2A. My comment was specifically a reply to the text I quoted. I didn't say they should pirate instead of buying from the dev or a legit store, I said why not pirate instead of buying from G2A. Personally, I don't understand why people who can clearly afford it would pirate (or buy from G2A) at all, so I don't exactly condone it, but if they said they would do the exact thing the devs said not to, then why not do the other option that the devs said they'd prefer? > Why not buy the game the honest way like a decent human being? I do. I haven't pirated any games since I was a student, about 15 years ago (and have even bought most of the games that I did pirate, since then). I feel like my comment was taken out of context.

  Can't wait for the wave of "Its okay to pirate, the devs ASKED us to!" excuses popping up from this.
