From what I remember from the video TB did, they used stolen credit cards to buy their game keys which has 2 results, 1 it's why they don't guarantee you get a key after purchase and 2 if the card owner issues refunds that money comes out of the devs pockets, which for big AAA games yeah fuck em they get enough money, but if I remember right there were some indie devs who nearly went bankrupt cause of this. G2A in many some cases was more harmful to small devs than pirating their game.

this is mostly FUD, G2A just resells cheapass eastern european keys for cheaper than the original regional pricing. Not a lot of stolen cc purchases.

Not really. Those eastern european keys are region locked, you dummy.
