Can you get banned for buying Steam keys?

However, it’s not likely for you to be banned from Steam for buying games on G2A. Valve really doesn’t have a viable way of tracking which keys were obtained through illegitimate methods (not all G2A keys are illegitimate); they’re really only able to be reported through the game developers or publishers.

Do Steam keys work on delisted games?

A game that is delisted generally won’t be revoked by the publisher as the publisher doesn’t have control over the property anymore anyway, at least in case of IP removals. Any gray market key will be safe if the publishers no longer exist/don’t have the rights to revoke the key.

Is reselling Steam keys legal?

From what I know, it is completely legal to do so, as long as they are purchased from legal sites. The key firstly is only generated if the developer of the game asks Steam to do so and then it’s under the developer’s terms on how they want the game distributed.

Can a Steam key be used twice?

Each Steam key can only be activated in a single Steam account. You can however login using the same Steam account on more than one computer, but only one at a time. When logged into Steam all the games activated within that Steam account can be downloaded, installed and played on the PC.

Is it safe to buy Steam keys on G2A?

For example, G2A has admitted that through the marketplace it sold almost 200 stolen keys for the game Factorio, so so has paid the developer Wube $39,600 in recompense. Still, this is a rarity, and most codes sold are legitimate. Essentially, G2A isn’t an authorised reseller, and so you could say it is not legit.

Can you reuse game codes?

No. The bonus codes are only redeemable once. Infact, these codes are often supplied as a bonus for the first-hand buyer.
