Take care of where you purchase the key from as they may be revoked because you purchased from unauthorised seller.

its all fine to do but...

dont buy from low reputation sellers as those keys might be stolen or seller could scam you

am using those sited for 5 years and had few incidents

once scammed but revoked my money cuz dude had 1 star and I didnt saw that

and had scammer with steam gift; day when gtav came out I bought it over sites and played game for month and gift ot revoked :/

The fact that steam blocked you from putting the sites kinda gives you the answer. If you want to buy away from steam try legit sites like humble bundle or fnatical etc

Those are grey market sites. Very little of the money generated by those sites go back to the developers of the game. If you're happy being one of those people knock yourself out.

This is a much better idea. All the websites listed on isthereanydeal are authorised sellers.
