Do I still support the DEVS if I buy a game key on Instant Gaming or other key stores?

[Schlübbi]

I would really like to buy the game but 50 Euro are just too much for a game in this sate. So I decided to buy a Key to get it a little cheaper however I still want to support the devs. Can anyone tell me if I do so by just buying a key on a keystore website lile InstantGaming?

It depends on the site, for example https://www.greenmangaming.com/ is a legit reseller.
I don't know if Instant Gaming is, so I don't wanna say anything for certain

Instant Gaming is legit. Used them for years and years with zero problems. Why buy something for 39.99 when you can get it for like 25-30 ???

As good as a game as it is I think $60usd is a bit much. Shouldnt be more than $50usd in my opinion.

Because some of the sellers might not be legit, and the devs wouldn't get any money from the keys bought. Its pretty much almost as bad as pirating

This site certainly isn't a legit reseller, I'd advice against buying from here

G 2 A is the only site i've had 1 problem with so never used them again. They are shops where you buy games etc from.

Just because you can buy games from there doesn't mean they come from legitimate sources, that means the devs don't get any money from the keys. That makes the keys illegitimate, and they can get revoked by steam.
Games that are bought from sites like that also get no support for anything, no refunds, no nothing

Who cares though

The devs of Darkwood (which is excellent btw) preferred to upload an official free torrent with the full game rather than give money to resellers. https://imgur.com/gallery/xVhDz

That should tell you enough about the matter.

You should. Certain sites get their keys from stolen credit cards. Once someone tells their bank their card or its info has been stolen, the payments are charged back and the devs don't just not get money for the sale, they actually lose money. This can ruin smaller dev studios and you won't get games like the one you liked so much from them anymore.

It's pretty safe to say that if you have to circumvent the word filter on this forum to post a URL, that site probably isn't legit.

It's funny how the people who support the key reseller sites never ask how they can sell the keys so cheap.

Just bought it on Steam if it dosent run well I will return it and wait untill the next patch comes out. However now I can be sure that the Devs got a fair amount of money
