Plyxa_games sold me an account instead of a key

[ahammond761]

What The H ,wanted a game tried to buy a key ended up with some shady account then went and paid full price on steam for it because i am not using some shifty Game from some crap site like Plyxa_games , hoping G2G makes it right other wise lesson learned.

So, you've thought you can get a game extra cheap by buying from that shady store in that dirty alley and got scammed?
What a surprise.

Should have bought from an authorized reseller.

You know the saying "You get what you pay for?"
Stop buying from shady sites and you wont get scammed.

If you paid by credit card or paypal you can contact your provider/them and dispute the payment. You'll probably not be able to buy from that site again, but it doesn't sound like a big loss.

It's such a great and safe site that Steam makes a point to censor it from being seen on the forums. It's such a good site that developers have gone on record asking users to steal their game rather than pay that site money for a copy of it. It's so good that you've had to go to Steam to ask for help when you got a Steam account for your purchase instead of the actual game.

Are you seeing a pattern?

The thing with grey market shops is that they aren't guaranteed to screw you over. They're not guaranteed not to.

[ahammond761]

never went to steam to ask for help ,me i paid steam for the game after this so the $28 was nothing to me .i was hoping for INTELLIGENT discourse to understand what there scam is so i can stop other people from being taken ,steam sells keys to after market sellers and someone is taking advantage of it hurting legitimate bushiness .my play is to tell steam what to look for in these accounts so once again quit trolling if you have nothing truly helpful or insightful.

No, Steam does not sell keys to aftermarket sellers.
The publishers do. By having contracts with authorized resellers.
Valve literally loses not even a single cent for every product key that is fraudulently sold elsewhere. The publishers do.

Valve makes their money from sales directly on Steam.

also this shop is listed in Oprera GX next to steam and epic ,are you seeing a pattern here ?

[Cathulhu]

Then maybe you should pick a better browser that does not advertise fraudulent websites.

Steam doesn't sell keys to anyone, they don't own any keys to enable them to do that, every single Steam key is owned by the game's IP owner.

The only legitimate resellers are listed on this site - https://isthereanydeal.com/

If you want to shop at a website and they're not listed on the above site then they are a grey market reseller and not an authorised one.

... and that's why you don't outsource (critical) thinking. If you let others, i.e. the people behind Opera GX, think for you, you're gonna fall flat on your face.

Good? then why is the name filtered and the answer is it is a known scam site as you found out by been sold an account and not a key.
