    The best thing about steam is you can buy keys from other sites

    The worst thing about those sites is in most cases it results in the developer being ripped off because the keys are either stolen or purchased using stolen credit cards.

    Countless devs have said they would rather people pirate their games than buy keys from those sites

      This is true for a small category of sites I won’t name, but there’s also lots of sites that have a direct business relationship with the publisher. Ex: greenmangaming, gamersgate.
