Don’t buy from them. They don’t seem vetted.

Here are alternative known good sellers that also offer great discounts:

  • Humble Bundle
  • Green Man Gaming
  • Fanatical
  • Game Billet

There are others that are legitimate.

Avoid places like the site you listed, and also these ones especially:

  • G2A
  • Kinguin

If you buy from Eneba, G2A, Kinguin, etc. you may be fine. However, there’s risk that you may not be fine and have a key that was purchased via a scam or stolen credit card. Then that game which is linked to you can be deactivated from your Steam account, possible Steam account ban, etc. Don’t buy from them because you just don’t know where that key may have come from.

Does Donald Trump, the convicted felon rapist racist, really want Taylor Swift to publicize again to him about how much she champions for human rights, advocates for the LGTBQ+ community, adovcates for abortion rights, and hates the corrupt fascism and conservatism poisoning the U.S.?

Right before an election, too! Sure, Diaper Don, let's get the Swifties angry again and let's have them vote Democratic in droves. That's a community you should really piss off!

Desperate Diaper Don, beloved friend of Jeffrey Epstein, is desperate once again.

EDIT:

Remember to vote. Do not get complacent. Make sure you vote, and tell your friends and family to vote. Say NO to Fascism.

Not my meme, I stole it from someone else. You wouldn't know them, they go to a different community.

I never would have guessed that the captured regulators would choose the owner class over the working class.

User accidentally opens Uplay when trying to double-click Steam

A store banner ad shows 'Skull and Bones'

User immediately frowns in disgust and tries to spam the X button to quit Uplay

Uplay privacy-invading telemetry captures an image of the user frowning via the webcam, and tracks the movement of the mouse cursor moving across the banner ad of 'Skull and Bones'

Uplay closes, telemetry is uploaded to Ubisoft's servers

Ubisoft has said the recently released Skull and Bones has achieved “record player engagement” since launch, although it has yet to announce how many copies it’s sold or how many players it has.

Enter the Norse realm

His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same.

Grasp a second chance

Kratos is a father again. As mentor and protector to Atreus, a son determined to earn his respect, he is forced to deal with and control the rage that has long defined him while out in a very dangerous world with his son.

Journey to a dark, elemental world of fearsome creatures

From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains and caves of pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters and gods.

Engage in visceral, physical combat

With an over the shoulder camera that brings the player closer to the action than ever before, fights in God of War™ mirror the pantheon of Norse creatures Kratos will face: grand, gritty and grueling. A new main weapon and new abilities retain the defining spirit of the God of War series while presenting a vision of conflict that forges new ground in the genre.

The best way to get back at someone is to have a great life. Ignore him and block him, and carry on with your great life.

He’s obviously insecure, fragile, and arrogant. Move on - you’ll never win anything by stopping to his level, and you’ll never convince him to change his ways by putting him in his place. The older you get, the more you realize quickly people just aren’t worth your time.

When you see him next, just ignore him. When he gossips about you to his brother or your friends in an attempt to get a rise out of you, laugh and ignore him.

Have a great life, and fuck that guy.

That’s a cute dress. If I pirate it, will I get a Creative Cloud warning pop up when it dials home?

Oh wow! This is neat Google! This is a great distraction from your other invasive and insidious tracking you’re introducing in your browser.

I’ll go redownload Chrome now and give up Firefox.

Why are we still preordering AAA digital video games from multi-million dollar corporations?There is no incentive to preorder AAA video games anymore - long gone are the days of midnight launches for physical games.

  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Returnal
  • Forsaken
  • The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
  • Fallout 76
  • Grand Theft Auto: Definitive Edition
  • The Last of Us Part 1
  • No Man’s Sky
  • Etc. ad nauseum

All of these games came with a half-assed apology from the publisher and how “this wasn’t their intention”. Yes, it was absolutely their intention. They released a knowingly broken game and charged us full price for it. They already got our money and laughed because they know we’re too stupid to do anything about it and that they’ve trained us well with “fear of missing out”.

How many times do us gamers need to get burned by video game publishers until we learn our lesson?

Stop rewarding and encouraging their predatory behavior. Opt out of this abusive practice by not preordering and voting with your wallet. Let them earn your money, so “they can feel a sense of pride and accomplishment”.
