They aren't as good as steam.

They ARE reliable. Don't listen to the noobs and haters. If you want the game don't hasitate to grab it from them. You won't find a better price unless you want to deal with Russian stores and/or VPNs.

Can this be activated on steam or do we have to use the direct 2 play platform

He didn't say they weren't reliable, just that they aren't as good as steam which is true.

OP you do realize this site is illegal, as far as Steam's TOS is concerned.

And I didn't say he is a noob or a hater, I was talking about people in general. Like the guy that posted above.

And yes. They will mail you a STEAM key.

The contention with many of these unauthorized sellers is the legitimacy of the keys. In most of the cases, keys are purchased for fractions of their USD cost in the Russian market. Fortunately, this is a case where the game isn't region restricted so you shouldn't have to deal with a VPN. However, the fact that it's not an authorized retailer coupled with Valve's rather strict SSA, makes waiting the extra 3 months to get it at 66%-75% off worth it... for me anyway.

Just to clear it up, no VPN is necessary to activate the key they will send you. It is a Russian key however. This doesn't mean you are doing anything illegal as the game IS region free.

Is this going to get your steam account banned since it's russian version?

Jeez dude, 1,026 games? How the hell do you find time to eat.

In worst case scenario they could remove a region locked game from your library. This game is REGION FREE. If you are really concerned wait for a different sale. However I have over 400 games in my library and buying from them doesn't bother me.
