Cancelling keys does hurt the customers, but as long as those customers can get refunds it's probably the best course of action. G2A would lose the money from the sale (having to refund it to the customer) and gains repute as selling bad keys, thus losing future business.
If you have to ask, it probably isn't. I've never heard of it before, and the word "my" in the URL seems kinda second-rate.
The problem is it's a areas of grey. Some sellers will sell stolen keys or keys they have obtained in unscrupulous ways like the humble bundle fiasco. But other's are just selling keys from bought retail copies (gamekeysnow is a good example, they even have videos showing them taking the keys out of retail copies), which is still unauthorised, but you'd probably be fairly safe to buy from.
It's an origin exclusive.

How is buying from TF2outpost and traders any different from using those sites? Honest question. Both are just reselling bundle keys.

Do you have your inventory set to private? I found I don't get anymore random begging/scam PMs when I don't.
Well. It's not if you're getting keys. However if you're trading through Steams trading system, then you are covered. Steam support can get what you traded back or activate the gift if you traded for a revoked gift, for example from what I've heard and you're not breaking the T&C by trading.

Is there any reason that dead space 2 is rarely on sale? It's the only game of the main series that I'm missing but I swear i haven't seen it on sale in years. I'm even willing to settle for an origin key at this point, it's that bad, haha.
It has gone on sale for US$5 multiple times.
The justification from Platinum for that restriction was hilarious.
They checked the Steam hardware survey and saw that less than 10% of users were using >1080p monitors so decided to support those resolutions. Obviously they are not aware of down sampling, or future proofing. PC has infinite backwards compatibility, what happens in 5 or 10 years when people are trying to play MGR on 1440p/4K/8K monitors?

Thanks for the answers, figured as much.
I guess Origin's current price is the best right now.

Was on sale two week ago on Steam according to http://isthereanydeal.com/#/page:game/price?plain=deadspaceii and even cheaper in March.
Its public. I know cus just 2 weeks ago some dude trade requested me for a dota 2 item. He wanted to complete his set and I think I got the better end of the deal too.
I also have 2 real life friends who play l4d2 and dota 2 with me ＼(^▽^＠
ノIt was on a humble bundle. Give one tf2 key, receive origin key. Done.

Damn, I must've missed it every time then. I guess I have to do a better job of keeping up with sales.
Yeah... no.
Then you're basically doing the same thing as buying it from a shadyasscdkeys.notarealurl reselling jerk, although for slightly less =p
There's a difference (subtle, I'll grant you, but still significant) between buying a Steam game from a cheaper region (where most of the money actually went to the developer), and giving someone money for something they bought with 5 other games for a dollar.

If Devolver are in the right, they should go after G2A directly. If not, what right do they even have to cancel those keys? I don't know what the legal situation is with reselling bundle keys, to be honest.
Look at steamtrades for example. You can trade TF2 keys for old Humble Bundle keys and people don't seem to have too much of a problem with it.
Buying games with stolen credit cards and so on is an entirely different matter, but I believe that is more an exception than the rule.

That sounds like Japanese developers to me. They tend to hit a specific hardware/resolution target and not design things with expandibility/modification/future proofing in mind.
welp
Ah, forgot it was an origin exclusive and can't be gifted. So yeah, trading for keys would have pretty much been the same thing lol
The Forest has its store page up.

The most recent trailer shows loads of mutants. Can't wait. This game must be nightmare fuel on the Oculus Rift.
Plus there'll be a no enemies mode if you just want to craft and chill.

I was expecting this to be tree trimming or something. Gameplay looks fantastic, I can finally experience the joys of nature without going outside. What a time to be alive.
I saw that Devolver G2A conversation the other day. The worst part was where the G2A rep said something along the lines of 'yeah, so we will still offer great deals'.
Disgraceful.
I had a friend over yesterday who is mainly plays console games. He wanted to try CSGO on my Steambox. I said sure but you'll probably have difficulty using a controller against people who are using a mouse. He then proceeds to place 1st in the next five games. What!?

This really can't be stressed enough, and it even gives a warning in the trade window itself. If the game you are trading for is not a Steam Gift that appears in the trade window (a product key/serial/Humble gift link/anything that is promised to be sent after you provide payment), you are pretty much waiving your right to recourse. Like Zafir said, it the game is revoked because it was originally purchased fraudulently or whatever, Steam Support will give you back whatever items you traded for it. I know that these warnings make it sound like the trade market is the Mos Eisley of e-commerce and it's a scary place to do business, but it's not bad at all if you follow the rules to protect yourself.
Well, it's not as if they can easily clamp down on it with so many people doing it, and people are happy enough buying/trading because it still ends up being cheaper even after the sellers cut.
People just want the best deals.

So, a number of years ago, circa 2011, EviLore posted this thread:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=451542
The purpose was to ban CD key reseller sites from being discussed on GAF. His logic was that since it was essentially impossible to determine the provenance of the keys they were selling (could be stolen, could be taken off of foreign retail copies, could be taken off foreign retail copies and double-sold, could require VPN activation, could be unauthorized resale) and there was essentially no liability or accountability mechanism, people would be likely to fall for it, get themselves in trouble, or lose access to their games. I suspect from EL's perspective it's also a liability issue for him that he wants to avoid.
That basically ended the issue for a few years, but lately I've noticed that an awful lot of people have been basically wandering in here to say "LOL is dis $10 key for a new retail game I found on RussiaKeyz.ru real? Well bot it newayz". It's sort of a support issue, it takes up a lot of posts in the thread, So this is me taking the opportunity to remind people that our stance site-wide is not to use those services and not to post them here. No one is going to get banned, obviously, since the crux of the issue is people not understanding the nature of the services, but just a reminder that we're asking people not to discuss them.
If you still plan on buying from those sites, by all means, it's your money and your account and don't let me stop you. But we've added several of the biggest key resale sites to GAF's block list and trying to post their URLs will result in them being ******ed out. I won't be providing a list of the URLs that we're blocking. This should also not be taken as an indication that sites we haven't blocked are somehow legit and there will probably be more names added to the list as it continues to come up.

Seems like good logic to me. Exactly what Base was trying to explain the other day to the guy who was having issues.

Is it bad that I would buy Our Darker Purpose instantly if it had Steam achievments but as of now I am debating getting it?
Same here. Hoping for a lot more functionality if they get enough early support.
If I'm on the fence about a game, its lack of steam cards is usually enough to put it in the no category.
Yeah, I love Titanfall, but it feels like the game is slowly bleeding dry. Respawn's not doing enough, and it's doing it too slowly. I want to pick up the Season Pass, but I'm wary the game will be dead by the time the second or third map pack rolls out.
On a slightly related note, this talk of the Halo: Master Chief Collection has renewed hope that we'll be seeing a PC release too. Chances are slim, but dammit, they'd have all of my money.
Drop the price to $15. Re-add in CTF.

That's no different to the British Broadcasting Corporation not having many old episodes of treasured television programmes e.g. Doctor Who, Dad's Army as they used the tape for new content.
I really wish we would leave the nationality out of such discussions. I am far from politically correct but the prevailing attitude of many here of "Japanese devs suck" really sits poorly with me.
Eh, I didn't mean it as "Japanese devs suck", I'm just stating known facts.
Also, there's a difference between early 70s TV series on bulky, expensive perishable tapes and digital game data, which is a much more recent industry with lower storage space requirements. They had to extract the files back out of the PS2 version of Kingdom Hearts to do the HD remix, for example, a game from 2002, and this is far from the only such example.
I'm sure there's western examples too, but most such stories come from the east =p

Working in the tech industry, it seems pretty common and almost required that companies (in the US at least) have to use some sort of versioning software to track changes and such. I think ISO standards require it. So when I hear that some company (Japanese or not) seems to have lost the source code for one of their most well known products, I'm just baffled. Not only at how they lost such a valuable asset, but at the marvel that somehow they managed to produce a working game without having that sort of control mechanism in place.
I don't think that leaving nationality out of it makes sense when there are cultural differences that can lead to this sort of thing. E.g., Japan is still a very paper-based working culture. This may have changed in the past 5 years, but at least a decade ago, many developers were still filing bug reports on paper.
I'm not a fan of gross generalizations, but culture definitely has an impact.
Finally. Most awaited game right now.
So it's about crafting and surviving against loads of mutants in a jungle, correct?
