Anecdotally, I've bought 3 keys over the years from g2a and 2 of them immediately didn't work. Iirc there's a big button you click during checkout if your key doesn't work and the seller immediately has to provide you with a working one. That's not g2a though, that's just the seller providing you with another cheap key from their collection. G2A is scammy in other ways too (I've yet to be able to cancel their $2 "insurance" fee or whatever they call it the first time, it's been years and I'll probably have to chargeback since their site just throws me errors when I try to cancel. PayPal won't even let me cancel it from their end.)
Why defend them?
Because I've never had a reason not to? I've only used G2A a few times but you can just remove the insurance at checkout. Never had an issue.
Except for, again, how it's screwing over developers, players in other regions, and supporting credit card scammers.
I've seen no concrete evidence of any of that. So agree to disagree.
You said yourself some of the keys come from regional bypassing?
No, I said they are bought in other regions. There is no proof that is from any bypass. Just some guy who lives in a poverished nation trying to turn a profit.
