    Reasons game developers don’t like steam keys from sites like G2A are:

    • Exploiting regional price differences.
    • Splitting keys out of bundles.
    • Scamming game developers for free keys (claiming they want to promote the game with a giveaway).
    • Keys bought with stolen cards (that get chargebacked causing direct loss).

    The last reason could apply to reselling steam accounts as well.

      Thank you for this I was wondering what the deal was with that. So some of them are stolen.

      That really sucks. I’ll probably avoid them going forward
