G2A does have a bad reputation but if all you search for is 'cheap game' or see an ad in pcworld or a sponsored shoutout on a youtubers channel then you don't know this. (a search for 'g2a' is much more informative that a search for 'cheap game') Stories like this hopefully inform more people of g2a's reputation. The other issue is if 1 in 5 of the keys on g2a aren't real but the discount is 30% off it's still rational as a customer to buy from them if you buy in bulk. It off-loads most of the cost of fraudulently obtained keys onto the developer in support costs and charge backs for fraudulent key purchases. Highlighting that rational does not equate to moral or even ethical. Also the problem doesn't need to be pervasive across games to be devastating for a developer. If only 1 in 100 developers have this issue with g2a that doesn't stop it from possibly being a business destroying issue for that developer while it's a minor issue for the others.
