If you want a game on Steam, you buy it on Steam! How is that so hard for people to grasp?

WetBeardHairs ,

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.

gonzoknowsdotcom1 OP ,

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

I have yet to encounter a legit key-reseller.

I buy the vast majority of my games directly through Steam but I’ve used Kinguin a few times with no issue

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.

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.

Steam is the only legitimate source to buy Steam games, every single one of the third party resellers deals in illegitimate keys

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

You sound like a Butter.

pokkst ,

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.

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.

pokkst ,

He said his order eventually got fulfilled, and there’s other people, including myself, that have used this site before and received valid keys. They just take a while to process the order sometimes.

Just because this level of cringey fanboying should never be tolerated, here is a hurtful fact: Valve has argued in court that they are a subscription service and you do not in fact own any game in your library. hothardware.com/…/valve-loses-french-court-battle

Shayeta ,

Yup, since early 00s, Valve has switched from selling digital copies of games to selling “limited perpetual licenses” of games.

asexualchangeling ,

Yeah Valve is definitely not perfect, and yet even with that they might still be my favorite tech company (or at least one of for sure)

Well stop necroing old threads.

I hope that words dies from our lexicon, what a terrible practice, shutting down discussion when it is the first result on google.

It’s almost as if the mods explained the reason for their actions! Unthinkable!

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

You’re missing the comment I left in there. Anyway, enjoy your google results leading to closed threads with no answers.

wahming ,

FYI, your comments were deleted. I’m guessing they’re only visible to you

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

I can’t see them either, they have been purged entirely. Now all thread major threads about security keys are closed and people who think security keys are about card trades(??) and how they don’t protect their precious cards have had the last word that it’s not important to them…

wahming ,

Can’t you just start a new thread?

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

It would never be seen by the vast majority of people, I don’t see the point of creating yet another discussion when there was four of them already going and were some of the top links on google for “steam login security key”

wahming ,

Google results are not static. If your info was useful it’d end up on top eventually

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

But there’s not going to be any info. All the people who had relevant information, came in from google, hit a closed thread and then left. There will not be a future conversation until the dead wood is cleared by a forest fire.

wahming ,

New. Thread.

Jesus dude, you resurrected a 6 year old thread thinking it would still be relevent?

Anyway, you’re lucky you didn’t get banned for spamming - next time, make one (1) new thread about the subject instead of commenting on multiple dead discussions.

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

A new thread on an already existing and established topic is completely pointless.

It would not be visible in the first page of the search and it would just spread the information and focus around.

Those were the right place to post. And now they’ve all been destroyed by that imbecile of a moderator.

Everyone in the future searching for this topic will just hit a dead end.

ProfessorOwl_PhD ,
@ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net avatar

No, the reason they’re going to hit a dead end is because you tried to ressurect discussions that finished literally years ago - discussions started by now inactive accounts, replied to by people whose answer won’t have changed. You posted 4 TIMES asking people whose discussions had established there was no 2fa hardware support if there was 2fa hardware support - they had already said no, and you came in between 1 and 6 years later to ask again.

Instead of starting a new, visible discussion on the steam community, where topics are boosted by recent interactions, and it will be seen by the most relevent people, not just the randomers coming through google looking for the same answer as your, but for some reason you chose to ask people who have forgotten they ever needed help with this issue if they ever found an answer.

Lastly, I want to point out how fucking stupid and infantile it is that you’re not only asking the question again, but asking in multiple year old discussions: Steam has repeatedly said that Steamguard is their 2fa, and that’s it. Your “bu- bu- bu- i’m important i need hardware to stop evil hackers from targetting my vibeo gane” is absolutely irrelevent to them, a position they have not been secretive about.
