I have bought games for 1-3€ on allkeyshop a few times, you’ll get a steam gift or key for the full game for your steam library. Obviously they’re from shady sources. Maybe it’s mostly a trick with regional pricing or something like that though? So some of the money goes to the devs?

I like it because I get updates, automatic steam Linux support and everything, but piracy is good for games just to try them out. Of course buying for full price also is a good option.

    Itried to search, and only found one case where the product being sold was bought with stolen credit cards.

    Where do you see if a key is bought with stolen credits card data?

    But this can literally happen every time you buy sth from a random Amazon store… E.g. the mouse pad you’re buying can be from a larger shipment ordered using a stolen credit card

    That might be the case, but digital goods are much easier to handle and more at risk.

      Of course you can’t 😅 What I searched for is news articles about this happening in the past
