Should devs revoke fraudulently adquired keys?
What I don't get is that game resellers like G2A and Kinguin are basically just Ebay, but for games. Ebay is a perfectly reliable website but sometimes there will be scammers on there and there's nothing you can really do about it, except for buy from popular sellers with a large number of good ratings. People should be doing the same with these game resellers. It's common sense really.

(those next gen activation methods are even more lovely)
To be fair, you're not actually allowed to sell stolen keys on G2A either, doesn't stop many though. And same as ebay, sadly, G2A doesn't really seem to care.

Hmm, never heard of the game until now. Wishlisted.
That's good they are revoking the keys. The Developers should be getting the money they deserve. I'm curious on how many of those people who had a key revoked will now turn around and buy the game? It has some really good reviews. ^.^

Stop encouraging necromancy! Do you want zombies? Because that's how you get zombies.

Well, regarding G2A and Kinguin, the truth is not all known. The company I work for has a long term contract directly with Ubisoft, Namco Bandai, CD Projekt, EA, Nordic Games, etc. Besides many other gaming related products, we import games for retail only, but in the last few years we managed to fulfill the digital key requests our clients wanted. After using the SMS system which had a lot of issues, we decided to try and sell them on G2A and Kinguin. The distribution price is so low, you can't even imagine the price we had on the digital stores with all taxes included. The keys were legit directly from the source. The price was low because of the high volumes we have bought. Now, what do can you say about this?

Remember kids, stay away from sites like G2A or Kinguin. If you actually can't afford a game full price you're better off pirating it till it goes for sale than buying from these sites where the devs won't not only get any revenue at all but also are being hit by chargeback fees.
inb4 "I bought 10k M games from G2A and I didn't have any problem" comments. Congrats, you are still a piece of shit for supporting these sites.
EDIT: Another link (courtesy of Movac) saying why pirating a game is a less damagin option than buying from G2A or similar places. http://www.fortressofdoors.com/g2a-piracy-and-the-four-currencies/
