G2A now have a game on Steam Greenlight - G2A Land

"our own marketplace" That is the key, are they willing to have it sold on other sites?

If they do not generate keys, then there are no keys for it! Humble, Gala, etc. get their keys from the Dev who generates them from Steam. Steam doesn't just randomly hand the keys out on mass on their own.

Translation: We make money of the people that use our site, so please use our site.

Everyone will.

According to his logic, 26% of us are insane! Actually sounds about right to me xD

O/ :)
Thou to continue the discussion above. G2A are basically banned from steam and were blacklisted by the filter. They donated 100$ to charity to get greenlight access. Knowing this why would anyone vote "yes"? This is without considering the shady stuff going on in the g2a store... They probably want to be the 2nd Digital Homocide company...
They also indirectly advertise the store by adding the logo in a lot of objects (check the video).

lol

gonna buy 5 copies to be generous on sg! 💖😍

you mean like... fifa?

in-game advertising is not a new thing and was in maaaany games before.
And tbh. this looks better than 75% of the VR-Stuff and the Greenlightstuff together.
And because it is advertising prob. it will be free (or super cheap).

In any way: I don't care about VR at all :D

Okay, I totally understand the lack of gameplay, but what I meant was that it just looks way better than most stuff on Greenlight.
It looks like the average VR game with prettier graphics. Some different abilities and that's it.

As to in-game advertising... oh boy. Payday 2, CS:GO, FIFA, NFL, NBA, Madden, Simcity, Need for Speed, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (which, incidentally is the good version of that game that you described), SWAT 4, most mobile games, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Dead Rising 2, Burnout Paradise (With a damn political ad. Obama's, if you were interested), Forza 3, various CoD games. Plus, the 3DMark software.
Those were the ones I remembered. The thing is, those games had various degrees of advertising, some of which (like FIFA and NFS) were extremely invasive and probably worse than the G2A one will be. Yet, people were fine with them, because in the end, it's what gives the games enough money. I doubt that you're a sheep that'll be enticed by a simple ad.

But as to taking advantage of everything, I get it. G2A is a business first. Same can and should be said about almost every publisher.
Name me a AAA publisher that'd care about something like that. A publisher, that wouldn't be out there to make money and is willing to go in debt to just make games. Those people don't really exist. G2A is pretty much Valve now. They started making their storefront and boom, they've become awful. Shitty hats and bad service. It just happens.

I think you know what you've gotten yourself into, once you go into a game called "G2A Land"...
But if you don't want advertising, then don't play Team Fortress 2. You know, the game that was made to push Steam... you know, a storefront. But, of course, this is fine, since it's Valve and they're much better. (They're not, by the way. They seem to break more laws than G2A, like the caching incident.)

It's nice to see that you think I'm that powerful though :D

M.C. Kids was pretty decent actually :P

I agree g2a does have shady practices. (like that 'shield' thing without doubt; and legally selling keys provided by devs/pubs from 'free' promotions [i'll remind everyone, it is legal to sell stuff you legally own, even if said stuff was legally optained for free]).

But I have to disagree on 'g2a illegally reselling' since it is a marketplace, were it is some bad users doing the illegal selling.
(and... if by chance g2a actually does directly sell anything themselves [example: g2a monthly bundle], I would hope g2a would be smart and not use a user as a source of the keys, and instead only use devs/pubs as the source of the keys)

For sure g2a has handed all of this really really badly!
G2A can and should be more stringent on their seller sign up process, to help combat bad sellers.
^that could lower the amount of fraudulent sellers by a huge margin. (sadly this will not combat fraudulent buyers).
^then again, stealing identities is just as easy, as mine was stolen on more then two occasions.
G2A should never of had that 'shield' thing, and they should completely remove it.
G2A should also stop having the buyers directly cover the payment processing fee.

All stores have to deal with fraud, digital stores even more so,.... and market places even more so.

Finally, lets not forget the criminal devs/pubs that abuse their position/tools to remove legally obtained keys, regardless of whatever reason they think gives them the right to.

I do hope that you have the same disdain for Steam's paid mods, lack of refunding policies, the caching problem (which resulted in leaked information), the failing curator system, Greenlight, the dated client that doesn't work well.

These are all things that Valve has done, that they've never apologized for. Two of those things were illegal (caching and no refunding).

G2A had an issue of illegal resellers. Now there's a rigorous verification system with the need for actual identification after 5 sales. Personal info, bank details and so on. I don't think they apologized for it, so it's not like it's just "water under the bridge".
G2A Shield's a fucked problem still, I agree. They need to fix it.

I agree with your reply to the previous poster (looks more like a way to test an expensive headset than a game), but even so it looks surprisingly polished.

I wouldn't buy it (not that I have a VR headset anyway), but more interesting than the software itself is going to be seeing how (and if) Valve responds to it.

If they left the doors of HB spam open they will probably close them soon. I think HB ref links are relatively new (I guess you mean HB monthly ref links).

The shield is a complete scumbag tactic I couldn't agree more with that.
