I'm not even sure how that works in practice since I've obtained a bunch of Steam keys for cheaper than the price on Steam. If you browse gg.deals, you can find Steam keys on legitimate third-party sites for cheaper. For example: https://gg.deals/game/horizon-zero-dawn-complete-edition/ https://gg.deals/game/horizon-zero-dawn-complete-edition/
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoYou probably got gray market steam keys which were cheaper than what you see when you log in from home, because they were gotten from more developing countries with high piracy, like Russia, Argentina, etc.
- Hamuko 3y agoI didn't, hence the phrase "legitimate third-party sites".
- happymellon 3y agoIs that how Humble Bundle works? That seems pretty high profile for dodgy tactics.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoHumble, no. They are talking more about storefronts like Green Man Gaming. Humble is done under charity and specific bundles (you can't buy any game at any time there for cheaper), so it's not really a good way thing PR-wise for Valve to tackle. And for the most part, it's not an issue anyway since it's still more people getting into Steam.
- Hamuko 3y agoGreen Man Gaming is not gray market and they get their keys directly from publishers, not by getting them from Argentina, Russia etc. If you want an actual gray market storefront, look up Kinguin. https://rgamedeals.net/store/5e70c https://rgamedeals.net/store/5e70c https://rgamedeals.net/store/y8rkz https://rgamedeals.net/store/y8rkz
