Yes probably sometime after it launches like every generation. The Pandemic will just slow it down a bit.

Same as buying a used console or game on ebay.

If its bought by stolen credit card than of course it would be considered a crime the difference is there has to be proof that they were stolen. For indie developer it maybe a big deal when their games are sold cheaper online but big publisher haven't been able to do a thing because they know most of the time they can't prove how cd keys were obtained.

@dzimm: a authorized seller is someone who gets the key from the publisher. The other buy them from legit stores using currency exchange in cheaper regions which isn’t illegal. The publisher still get the money. That why publishers can’t do anything about the grey market. If it was than non of these sellers would exist.

Nope its legal otherwise publisher would have done something about it long ago. No different than buying a used game from Game Stop.

Authorized Seller: Indiegala, fanatical, gamebillet, GMG, and newegg

Grey Market Seller: Eneba and cdkeys

Newly release games can be at least 20 dollars cheaper than Steam depending on title. Some site have pretty frequent deals as well.

@dzimm: Its called the grey market even that isn't illegal either.

Buying cd keys aren't illegal bud. Don't know where you got this from because it isn't.

I been buying lots of games from legit cd key sellers to non authorized ones. The prices are just too good to beat. Not sure who in the world would be against buying games cheaper it certainly allowed me to play newer games at a lower price than if I bought from Steam Store. Don't think I bought a game directly from steam in ages. Funny how the people who are against this don't want others to get games at a cheaper price. Anyone else buy their games mostly from these key sellers as opposed to places like steam?
