No, they’re listing them on Steam and then 3rd parties are reselling the keys. Devs still can’t list their games on other stores at a lower price. This is the 3rd time I say this, let’s see if you get it this time.
The store offers the downloads on the links you provided, that’s not the point. The point is that if I, as a consumer, want to get a game cheaper than it’s listed in Steam, I have to find a reseller to sell me a key that might not work or even get me banned (see G2A) and has none of the protections that come with buying from an official store. If not for Valve’s anti-consumer policy, I could just go to Epic and buy it cheaper there because they take a smaller cut.
Those are not illegitimate reseller stores. Those keys are from the devs on those stores. I did not share a link to cdkeys or kingwin or g2a. I shared a link to a legitimate list of stores. If I buy from humble my keys are not going to get banned or not work.
Are you intentionally missing the point? Legitimate or not, it’s a 3rd party seller that can’t offer the same protections an official store where the dev chooses to list the game does. Just to name an example, if you even see a key from Humble Bundle, you lose the right to refund. If not for Valve’s predatory policies, you could just buy the game at a lower price from Epic and enjoy the exact same refund policy that Steam has.
So I was wrong about that one, the point still stands, specially because key resellers are also affected by Valve’s policy. Why are you being so intentionally obtuse?

GMG key for epic is $17.42 right now…steam is…$19.79
Are you still going to blatantly babble false statements?

Those are 3rd party resellers. How many times can one man miss the same point?
So wait you’re only hang-up is that the store has to offer the download? The fuck…
