Incidents like this one is the reason why I stay away from going digital. Physical copy of games will always trump their digital counterparts ;)

Where did you hear the keys were stolen? G2Play has been around for a very long time and they use keys straight from the boxed versions as stated in the article.

Its from a bunch of different sites not just one scaly one

I'm not going to be stupid and buy from a 3rd party company selling US made games from Hong Kong. The game is almost $20 cheaper. So why is all there games a lot cheaper from anything else? Also China is well known selling illegal copies.

Also your paying through G2Play for steam codes to download Far Cry 4 to play on steam? That doesn't sound right to me. I'm looking through the website and even on early access games. There is no way to get an actual illegal copy without buying an early access game from steam on some of those games. That means there losing money for every purchase for early access games.

And having there system recognize the code they used as illegal copy says a lot about purchasing from them. There generating codes for Steam some how that's not in Ubisofts system.

Fair enough, but why doesn't Ubi confirm it's stolen keys? Also, as the article shows, why is there no official response to the many queries regarding this on their own forum?

It is cheaper yes, but the reason is due to exchange rates of different countries, not because of some illegal activities from said sites as far as I can tell at the moment.

I have sympathy for people who bought the game and got it removed (without warning i might add)

@N4GDgAPc
Yeah i know right you would have thought after the same thing happened with sniper elite 3 people would be smarter where they buy their games from.

First of all, not all of the games are from Hong Kong mother fucker, so calm down. G2A is well known for selling legitimate games, so just because these resellers are selling them, and if you have g2a shield, you're fine.

UPDATE: i looked into this, if you buy the game directly from g2a you should be fine, however, g2a has 3rd party sellers some of which bought the keys will fake credit cards and sold them to people, so if you buy it from the main g2a seller, you should be fine.

UPDATE 2: looks like g2a removed most of their 3rd party sellers leaving only the top rated ones, which is good!

Well hearing that now I can't trust G2Play at all if a 3rd party company has other 3rd party companies on top of them selling games. I'm sorry but there is bound to be illegal copies some were^^

I read on the fourum Ubi never stated the keys were stolen.

And if you ever find yourself completely skint you have no game collection to sell.
A couple of years back I needed alot of money quickly and was totally skint, sold half my game collection which I no longer touched and had most the money just like that.

So? I have more ownership/control over my games than you do.
