The keys were given in plain text to this intermediary at some point. A copy of said text should exist.
The Steamworks Documentation explicitly recommends tagging the keys to keep track of them and potentially prevent this kind of issues.
They don't know the keys on G2A
But they should. Someone at RWS generated those keys and then sold them to resellers. Even if they don't personally keep track of the keys, Steam probably does.
I guess they don't want to affect users who already paid for a key even though they have the right to do so.
Honestly, I've had keys revoked from my account before, and it sucks to waste money on scammers, but any rational person would understand that's not their fault.
Hold on a minute. Developers need to generate the keys so third parties can resell them. And they can revoke or disable them if they were obtained fraudulently.
What is the point of all this? Just disable the keys and fuck the scammers.
I've always liked Saidit's "two upvotes" system. It's so simple and creative, encouraging discussion rather than the mindless brigading that becomes so common with the vote wars for visibility.
Why would you want this place to be like reddit on such small, insignificant details? Building an independent, unique identity beyond reddit alternative should be the plan.
I reused the username I originally used when I moved to Ruqqus 3 years ago. I've been all over the place ever since, and I've seen many of these alternatives inevitably fall. Ruqqus, Voat, Votal, Syzitus, Saidit is somehow still active.
It may be something new to many of you, but at this point I've seen enough sites shut down. I don't mean to come here with bad vibes, but it's not easy to be optimistic anymore.
I still miss Ruqqus from time to time, despite not sharing the opinions of a good portion of their user base, I never had a bad experience, even though I did pock the hornet's nest a few times.
