What's the last one from the top row? The Pirate Bay? :)

Just a stand in for piracy in general imo

Eneba is selling pirated keys?

What about Instant Gaming ? Is it also a website that only resales keys or do they have some kind of partnership with game devs?

How does g2a even work? I've bought a few keys there before and they worked. I assume these keys were given to someone from like a promo or something then they just resell it?

they buy keys using stolen credit cards and then resell them

And then the owner of the card issues a chargeback, so they lose more money (chargeback fees can be $25-$100) than if you'd have just torrented it.

Technically they could revoke the key as well, but that tends to cause a bit of fuss and bad PR so they don't often bother.

So the lesson is clear. Buy your keys on G2A with stolen credit cards.
