If you're gonna get an illegal copy anyway, why not just pirate it?
@Smith & Wesson tf .. like 5% of cracked games can be played online. The other 95% cant and thats because you dont have access to the original servers...
so if its someone new to cracked games, its probably you.

Ubisoft has themselves pronounced it both ways in press events, so call it whatever you want. Kinda just depends if you follow the French inflection or not
The original pronounciation was French. "You be soft" is the furthest pronounciation from the original. It originated not in the company, but comes from people who pronounced it in a "wrong" way.
Oo be soft is closer and the way how it was originally pronounced it Germany. But nowadays you can pronounce it however you want. No version is seen as "wrong".

Remember, almost anything is military grade but it still gets hacked
Didn't they do a video debunking "military grade encryption" advertising?
Military grade encryption means they use AES, or Advanced Encryption Standard, which is the de facto encryption standard for up to Top Secret information (AES-256) because it is one of the strongest (read: hardest to crack) encryption standards.
@@NateLong33 Which is also used by everyone else for encryption.... It's a popular encryption algorithm, calling it "military grade" sounds pretty misleading.
@@NateLong33 AES is symmetric encryption... while the AES system itself is pretty solid back when it came out almost 20 years ago... all you need is the encryption key and you have access to all data encrypted by that key making it virtually useless for any encryption where you can't guarantee anybody will gain access to the key (psshh a little secret you can't guarantee that)

2019: the year where we went full circle and now people are talking about cable-tv like services as "ways to save money"
radil they do save you money though. With cable, you’re locked into a contract and can only subscribe to all or nothing. With streaming services, you can subscribe to what you want and when you want. If you’re paying for all of them all of the time, you’re ignoring the financial benefits that they offer.
origin access gonna fine you 20 dollar a month, with over 200 games, including their expansion pack, that's a great deal, especially for me who gets bored by a video game pretty quick, so instead of buying a full price game, played it for a few days, then got bored and never touch it again, I could just rent it, for a very very cheap price, if 20 dollar you get 200 games, that's mean for 1 game you only need to pay 1 cents?
and btw, no, we aren't went full circle, cable-tv like service always been around, why cable tv died is because we often payed for something we don't want, but for something like netflix, we know what series there are, and don't forget, with netflix, we can watch stuff anywhere, and anytime

Sometimes there's fine print that doesn't let you know that the game bought was only a promotion or trial code. Happened with me with the sims 4. I was only able to play for 3 weeks before the game was locked. EA said there was nothing they could do, which is fair.
i seriously doubt any game company gets seriously affected by g2a. I think they speak against it because it doesn't restrict consumers as much as they want. I would bet most of the copies sold on g2a are bought from sales and then sold after the sale ends to cater to those who missed out on the sale. at the end of the day, copies are still being sold.

@@PyroGobbo Sumbuctu
@@PyroGobbo USA.
From the Dashlane Website: "Military grade encryption refers to what’s called AES-256 encryption. Short for Advanced Encryption Standard, it was the first publicly accessible and open cipher approved by the National Security Agency (NSA) to protect information at a “Top Secret” level. It is now widely-accepted as the strongest encryption there is - and used by governments, militaries, banks and other organizations across the world to protect sensitive data."
What they fail to mention is that AES-256 is free for any use public or private, commercial or non-commercial. So it isn't really such a big deal.

I find it so weird how these sites get so much flack about source of goods while Kijiji and eBay skate free. The same concern about "source of goods" applies to anything you buy second-hand / aftermarket / grey market / etc. (i.e. whatever you buy off of Kijiji / eBay could have been stolen / bought through fraud / been a sample / giveaway / etc.).
It's almost as if people don't want a free market where you can sell and buy things without having to check in with someone else (which is precisely how price fixing is enabled).
You can't really compare key resellers to ebay because ebay actually sells used goods while key resellers can only sell "new" keys. Of course there will be some stolen goods on reselling platforms like ebay as well but in far fewer quantities than on most key reselling platforms. The reason for this being that most key resellers can only achieve such low prices due to fraudulent behavior while platforms like ebay can achieve low prices by actually selling used stuff.

enjoy getting scammed
As long as it’s still legal I’m gonna keep doing it
My opinion in this is this one. Someone paid those studios to get the keys. Even if they are reselling them in order to do money laundry adc, because the developers got paid the original price in the first case.
Remember that some developers leak their own keys because distributors charges very high commissions.
What's wrong with buying a game in a region and selling it in another???
It probably violates some license agreement
Your game might end up with russian voice overs and no way to switch to english... (been there, done that)
If developers want to sell a game to a poorer country, they have to lower the price if they want the game to be successful. If people start reselling the cheaper game to a different region where the game cost more, then it might not be convenient for developers to sell at a lower price in the poorer country, and therefore it might be better to not sell the game in that country at all.
Let's say you buy a game in Brazil for 115 Real.... and in the US it costs $60... some quick maths... ohh 115 Real aren't $60... now they could sell the game in Brazil for 250 Real... but since the median income is lower compared to the US less people could afford to buy it... you'd maybe make the same amount of money in the end but less people would have access to your product.... if i now go buy the game for 115 Real but i live in the US i paid $35 less than what i would pay in the US... so the company loses $35 on the sale to me
It has to do with the regional pricing models since games actually sell for completely different prices in different regions based on the average income of a region's population. For example, where game "X" costs 60 euro in USA/EU, it costs 20 euro in Russia/Asia due to lower incomes in those countries. To ensure that game publishers can still make a buck in less-wealthier countries, they simply sell the games in those countries for a lower price and restrict resellers from selling it outside the region.
It boils down to game publishers simply wanting the players of wealthier countries to pay more than less-wealthier countries (so that it's "fair" for everyone). If game resellers from less-wealthier countries are selling their products outside their borders (in wealthier countries), the players from wealthier countries won't pay the expected (and restricted) higher tariff the company had set for those countries. This results in the game publishers making a lot lower profit than they were expected (and supposed) to make.
Is the consumer legally responsible? No, it's the resellers their legal responsibility because they are the ones offering the possibility to abuse the system. However, since most consumers know about those practices, it's ethically not nice towards the game publishers/developers to buy a game for a much lower price than you're supposed to pay. Not to mention that with this system it's the resellers who make the profit and not the game publishers/developers. It's kind of like you made something, but someone else steals it from you and sells it.

contacted their support & all I got was: "Sorry you should have contacted us sooner, we have confirmation that you received the link and nothing more we can do",
then I issued a Paypal dispute & got my money back 1 day before deadline (waited around 10 days).

Hello this is G2A please send me a reply so we can sought this shiter out
email to g2a
I remember games that were AAA went from 40 euros on steam to 2 euros on G2A,those were definitely stolen,but recently I haven't seen such thing,maybe from a smaller developer,but thats even worse
I want to support developers and publishers who really deserve it, but at the same time, I can't really afford to buy games at full price. In my country, a new AAA game's price is roughly 15-20% of the average monthly wage, which is just ridiculous. So up until regional pricing won't be a worldwide thing, I'll continue to buy games from sites such as G2A, Kinguin, etc. and/or I halve the given game's cost with my friend, because we can utilize Steam Family Sharing.
You missed the whole point of the developers LOSE MONEY on most of G2A because they have to refund stolen CC charges and the processing fee
So, not only they refund 60$, they pay another 1/2$ for the processing fee, and also the wasted manhours to process all these charges
In other word, buying from key reseller DOES NOT SUPPORT developer, you're doing more harm than good

2:40, no that doesn't bother me, your HANDS tho!
I use g2a all the time and have never had a problem
Same
Don't
@@lordjzargo7940 why
@@lordjzargo7940 why not??
@@XXNIGHTMAREXX-ho1cr cause you are spending money on stolen games
What about buying games that are no longer available on steam
"Oobisoft"
nope.
If it's EA or a developer that doesn't care about their players and only cares about profits then hell to the yeah I'm gonna use g2a. If it's a developer that made an amazing game, bug tested, with a great story, and free of microtransactions....yeah I'm buying it from them so they get rewarded for it.
Fuck EA i torrent their games
Pirates: i see this as an absolute win
short answer some G2a Games and codes might be hacked from other accounts and can lead to your account being suspended.
4:46 been spending too mcuh time around computers, calling PCI-DSS "PCIE-DSS"
No homo Riley but you definitely can pull off that scruff, looks good dude.
Reminds me of Rhett from GMM for some reason
Shut up boy, where's my belt?!!!
Cheapest price always wins for me, deal with it.
Of course! As long as I don't have to pay 60 bucks/euros for a new game it's fine by me. Don't care if it's bought from stolen money or not. If it works, it works and I save a lot of money.
@METhOdhowtoKilLnoObS yep
@METhOdhowtoKilLnoObS Sounds about right! I've already saved over $300 this past month buying games from G2A lmao. Worth it to me.
This is the reasoning of the typical consumer, which is why game streaming services make sense as soon as the technical barriers are removed. I'd pay 5-10 USD per month for a large game library instead of 60USD per game.
@@bun2206 Just torrent the game then, it costs you nothing and the developer gets just as much of your money /s
I’ve been comparatively extremely poor for about five years now, and ethically I am strongly in favor of supporting game devs by paying market price for their games so that the games industry can continue to thrive, especially because 90% of the games I play are very small indie titles from studios that need every dime they can get. That said when I hear about a cool new game that I really want I can’t help but seriously consider getting these gray market keys so that I can experience the game, and maybe buying a full price key later in life when I’m out of this hole.
I’m all with you until I hear the bullshit about buying an additional key even after you have the game.
@@trollwayy5981 yeah this is just full copium tbh
@@ssigaprv8669 if you buy gray market keys, you buy gray market keys. I don’t give a shit if you do or don’t im not gonna judge, but don’t try to act all high and mighty about it.
@@trollwayy5981 ? you do NOT understand what I meant with my comment lol I meant he is just coping his lets call it "bad" behaviour of buying keys by saying he might buy full price at some other time, which he will 100% never do
@@ssigaprv8669 i know, i was expanding on my thought :)
I've been using G2A for 3 years and never had any issues.
Why didn't you create the similar video about eBay? I've received used watch even if the seller claimed it's brand new. But I understand it. Abuses can happen everywhere. I believe it's like a 0,1% on that large marketplaces like them
Same! I've been buying keys from Kinguin for years with no issues.
Would you like to make work for whole month and dont get paid but instead end up paying to your employer?
That is exactly what you are potentially causing by buying from them.
And ofcourse you havent had any issues, as you are the way how they make money. They need service you in order for you to keep buying from them.
Basic business model for them is to sell games which they have got either for free or bought via stolen credit cards. So G2A doesnt lose money cause those cashbacks are going to developers not them. Devs lose product and also money instead of getting it. What you are paying to g2a doesnt go to devs, but instead directly to them. And because you get games there cheaper than from stores which pays to devs. (Like steam, gog and so on.) You keep going back and buy from them. They can provide games for much lower than actual stores cause they are free for them. And what ever they charge for those games are pure profit to them. So can you now understand what is the problem here?
@@Kuutti_original lol
I've saved tons of money buying through g2a. Never had an issue.
Same here, even started turning off that G2A guard thing that has a 90p charge
You have a 50 dolar game you have to multipla it by lets say 3,50 you got a game for 175PLN. Its too expensive !
Jokes on you my bank declined my card every time
Lol
