I am wondering... [Steam/G2A/CS:GO related]

Hello guyz...

Actually i am watching Katowice, and i noticed the G2A logo on the Virtus.Pro t-shirts. So i am wondering, why do Steam and CS:GO let it be a sponsor if it's not a legit reseller?

And what you suppose them to do? Ban Virtus.Pro players from playing their game because they don't like the sponsor? G2A is sponsoring Vitrus, not CS:GO. And Valve doesn't own Vitrus.Pro ;p

I am not saying that, but Steam could do some rules... I don't think it would be difficult for them to find another sponsor. I mean...
Other teams are there anyway without G2A, Kinguin, or anything else sponsoring them. :o

By the way, looking at [http://steamunpowered.eu/new-steam-gift-restrictions-are-ridiculous/] recently changes on Steam, they could be able to really do some rules angainst those sponsor, lol.

Fnatic is sponsored by kinguin (and I presume that there are many more), so VP isn't only team to be sponsored by "illegit" seller. Also as far as I know recent fuss about G2A was mostly to Ubisoft, so maybe they would need to take first step.

I am not judging Virtus.Pro, i took them like an example as they was the first i saw.

Dude, do you not realize what you're implying? Valve actually forbidding players to make deals with a specific sponsor? Isn't that against the law? I don't think they could do that even if they wanted to.

I am not hating anyone, i am only asking. :o

But i don't know i think it's a bit different trading... It's like if you sell an old item because you bought a new one, and you don't pay fee, it's not illegal, but if you are assuming to do it like a work, it's different... And it would be illegal.

Everything's ok with G2A and kinguin, you're safe to buy from them. Stop believing that nonsence that they are scammers and it's not safe.

WTF, it's not so safe at all... I bought a lot from Kinguin, and i had two troubles, but they refund me without any problem.

The problem is that before their last changes, you was protected for long time, i don't know well... But for example i had a trouble with one game after several months, but as i said they refunded me. Actually you must pay fee for be protected and the guarantee lasts only 1 month. :/ It's better than nothing, i know, but...

For example, two days ago i was looking for Rust: "Yay, it's only 7.xx € on Kinguin, great!"... I proceded to checkout, and lol, the ammount increased to be near 11 € when in Steam it's at 14 €. Why should i even take the risk?

Yeah of course all this price increase after you add the game to the cart is bullcrap. G2A doing the same thing. I rarely buy from them because prices there are not very tempting. But as i said it's safe. Just don't buy if you found something insanely cheap.
