Who knew that if you try to overturn the results of a democratically held election that you’d be brought up on charges?!? I think my favorite part is that it looks likely that some of the fake electors they tried to install flipped in exchange for immunity deals.

That’s a good rule to live by but I think we can take this one at face value. He’s definitely going to get indicted again.

It’s an open marketplace, every open marketplace in the world has fraud on it and G2A is no exception. Doesn’t make it any less legitimate than other online marketplaces. But to address your three links, the first one is from 10 years ago which is before the G2A marketplace existed, the second features a developer (Mike Rose) whose game barely sold any copies on G2A as found during the 10x fraud challenge and the third is actually a legitimate claim that G2A paid out. However if 32k is the worst we can come up with that’s pretty low comparative to the amount of business the site does.

If fraud is so much more prevalent than other marketplaces then why hasn’t the EU opened an investigation?

No one is mocking them but they can certainly be ignored.

I’m talking about the developer quoted in the blog post that they posted in the comment I replied to. I don’t understand why you’re confused.

This is the same parroting I saw on Reddit and it’s not really based in reality. G2A is based in the Netherlands and therefore bound by EU law. If fraud was that rampant then there would be investigations out the ass. The reality is that there is fraud on G2A just like there is fraud on every single open marketplace on the internet and it’s not nearly as prevalent you’re making it out to be.

You’re confusing Wube and No More Robots. The “pirate our games rather than buying them from G2A” line in that blog post came from Mike Rose from No More Robots. It was ironic because almost no one purchased his game, let alone purchase it from G2A.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying a key on G2A but you’re asking to get ripped if you buy some mystery pack. Just buy the specific game you’re looking for if it’s the cheapest deal. I buy a lot of my games on there because many times it’s the best price but I’ve never purchased those mystery bundles.

It would just be nice if it was concentrated to one place but I guess I’ll keep having to play wack a mole.
