     @Spooke @blueknightfrank >buy a key off of one of those sketchy websites though. Those are actually negative money because they're bought with stolen credit cards and other shenanigans which leads to chargebacks.
     
     the more time goes by the less i can believe this. if it really was that much of a problem they simply would stop selling keys. i feel like this was just a psyops to prevent people from getting cheap region unlocked keys

     @blueknightfrank fwiw I usually don't mind buying product on steam because they actually do something to benefit me (making proton/wine better which makes linux support of games better).
     
     Better that linux gets more support than be stranded on microshit's increasingly creepy operating system.
     
     Though at this point buying product is more I enjoyed your product you should have money so you can make more.
     
     Devs should promote pirating the game over having someone buy a key off of one of those sketchy websites though.

     @DarkMahesvara @blueknightfrank Valve generates keys for free for their partners (I recall them not taking a cut on any steam key). So the developers who's selling the key is selling it on their own by distributing it to a storefront to sell the key. So if the keys are bought with stolen credit cards from a authorized key reseller that's entirely on them.
     
     In Valve's case it only really affects them when it comes to steam trading cards so they're now stricter on how many keys you can generate if you have fuck all for actual game sales.
     
     100 sales on steam but wanting to generate 500k keys for steam trading card abuse.
