Kinguin Sells duplicate keys

[MyBooMStick]

Beware

[MagicHp]

Any context? Screenshot? Explanation? Anything?

You sold Kinguin those duplicate keys.

See, that statement has just as much weight as yours, and yet it is most likely false (I hope? ^^ )

So, indeed, beware ;)

A key seller, among GMG and others.
I have been using their services for years for about a third of the games I buy, never had any issue.

They always did, them and any other site functioning as a so called "market" not selling keys directly.

Ohh. Because there are keys in the game itself so I was confused.

I only ever buy games on Steam, I don't trust 3rd party sellers. Also you can't refund games and get your money back unless you buy direct from Valve.

isn't that the 90s cartoon ?

It is not like it's hidden or anything, you even have the name and how to contact the seller itself when you buy there ^^

And just as with each key selling site, there is a refund policy for these issues, that works.
But it is so much better to make a thread on Steam about it rather than trying to solve the issue ;)

I mean its a well known thing kinguin has stolen keys for sale.
Kinguin is a market place mostly for PEOPLE as in you and I, to sell keys. WIth that comes a lot of stolen keys.

And by a lot, I mean likely not super common, but more than it should be :^).

The proof you need, just google how the market works there.

Its why when I buy from 3rd parties I just go for like GMG, something thats legit and the companies of the game them selves or publishers sell the keys to GMG.
The one time I purchased from a place where its more of a market place of randos. I had to put in a phonenumber to purchase, but they charged me the 110 USD before I did. So decided "im never going to a place where randos can sell keys again".

Plus I dont wanna be responsible for buying a stolen key.

GMG is supposed to be a legit key reseller. Kinguin, CDkeys, Allkeyshop an such where you buy keys Ebay style from random people however. Those are unofficial so you never know what your going to get.

I never had problems with these sellers. (Same with others)
And I buy my games for over 10 years now from there.

Steam is too overpriced, I can´t understand ppl if they buy old games for 30 euro if you can get them for 4 euro or in a normal market for 7.

Of course, because Valve didn't sell it, so why would they refund it?
But these sites have a refund policy, some are bnetter than others, Kinguin is not a "bad student" here.

Let's get real, you really think your -40% key on release day is 100% legit? ^^

All these keys are grey, some are darker than others, none are "spot-free", even those on GMG . "All our keys are official" but we somehow sell those for half the price.........

Define "stolen keys" first, then debate it ;)

Don't ever buy from kinguin or g2a (starts with g, ends with a and has 2 in the middle). Only buy from sites vetted by IsThereAnyDeal (like Humble, GMG, Fanatical etc).

[Plastic War Beast]

Totally depends from which seller you bought. If you bought for a non reputed new seller then its your fault.
