Because this guy is a crypto moron. He’s from monero.town which is a crypto instance. He tried to pay for this with crypto and got scammed, which garners zero sympathy from me, because it’s not real money.
Oh no! I didn’t pay real money to a provider and they didn’t give me the product! This is a scam!
He keeps coming to other instances to “review” the ability to pay for things with monero, which is basically just an advert for trying to pump the crypto.
He said his order eventually got fulfilled, and there’s other people in those threads, including myself, that have used this site before and received valid keys. They just take a while to process the order sometimes.
Because steam isn’t always the most affordable, that’s like saying if you want a product. Take AMD for example and it’s 1,000 gpu. Buy it from AMD. Then you see amazon has the same GPU for a discounted rate
Regional pricing, last I checked on the Steamworks dashboard, is usually set by the developer themselves, and doesn’t always mean it’ll be cheaper in other regions. And sales are also set by the developer, even for Summer/Winter sales. The developer can choose to opt out.
I’ve used G2A for Windows Pro keys, which are legit OEM bulk keys, and also to buy my friend in AUS some Hearts of Iron DLC that I couldn’t buy and gift normally because of the price difference between CAD and AUD.

Monero: My experience (IT’S A SCAM)
If you want a game on Steam, you buy it on Steam! How is that so hard for people to grasp?

This makes no sense at all. Steam has regional pricing and often times, games do go on sale.
You sound like a Butter.

Steam is the only legitimate source to buy Steam games, every single one of the third party resellers deals in illegitimate keys
Yeah except both of those things are in fucking dollars and not in random ass cryptocurrency
I have yet to encounter a legit key-reseller.
Humble and Fanatical come to mind really quickly. I’m sure there are others, too.
I definitely wouldn’t just trust one I hadn’t heard of before, though. It was a while before I even bought anything from Fanatical.
That’s fair. Haven’t tried fanatical, but Humble is great.
I buy the vast majority of my games directly through Steam but I’ve used Kinguin a few times with no issue

Also - if you want to buy something on the internet, use a credit card from a real bank. They’ll refund you for scams.
But go ahead and complain when you get scammed while using a currency designed to be hard to track.
