How reliable are keys?
I recently heard of "-" that sells steam keys at cheap rates. I want to know if this is legit. Will steam take any action against my account for using keys bought here at low prices? Even if it were fine, how is that not detrimental to steam's profits? I don't understand.

Only buy from authorised retailers found here https://isthereanydeal.com/

You can get great deals and the keys are safe.

Indie game devs have spoken out on those grey market sites being worse than piracy. Speaking of legit...

That's because with piracy, they don't make any money, but with stolen keys they lose money.

Don't buy from there, they're absolute scum.
