A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Best deal you ever got? (lemmy.world)

What's the best game deal you ever got?

For me it was the original Subnautica. Was a free give away before it got popular and I had no expectations when I played it. Really enjoyed the exploration and the pacing.

Second was Axiom Verge - I got it for free before it became popular but I don't remember how. I bought it when it went to Steam because I wanted to support the creator.

Both are fun exploration sorts of games if you haven't played them. Axiom Verge is a metroidvania. Kinda a weird game, but in a good way.

GTA V for free.

A customer left a seller review on G2A stating that their provided key didn't work. They posted the key in the review and I claimed it on steam without any issue.

Kind of weird to admit to stealing someone's purchase. Dick move, really, regardless of how dumb that was of the buyer.

They publicly posted a key that "didnt work". How is that stealing? It would be like me leaving a piece of equipment in my front yard with a sign that says "free, doesn't work" but a mechanic picks it up and fixes it in a matter of minutes.

Was it the buyer giving it up to anyone who wanted it or were they under the impression G2A customer support would be refunding it?
