As a former pirate I disagree with this. If there was no piracy there was some games I would have bought. When people are young and don't make a lot of cash and can get something for free rather than...

There is also the possibility that the keys resold were stolen. Here's a blog entry from the developers of Natural Selection 2 who fell victim to a credit card charge back scam. Not only did a lot...

No surprise that a company that pushed DRM and alienated people that weren't pirating games are now punishing paying customers again just because G2A might have violated their digital download policy...
