G2A reddit AMA going not to well

G2A go on to say that developers don’t report stolen keys to them, so they can’t track them. They also claim that they have a good layer of security to verify the keys, despite this. 

Things then escalated when one user seemingly proved that these verification steps are ineffective. 

The G2A user claims they sell keys constantly and they’re never verified by anyone. Allegedly, you can bypass the verification process with a few clicks and, after you’ve done it once, you’re verified indefinitely. Even when the system doesn’t accept a key, he claims he just waits a few hours and tries again - at this point the system accepts it. 

G2A respond by saying that the user doesn’t know his keys haven’t been checked, as they try make the experience as seamless as possible. At this point, the user shares a screen that seems to show the key goes on sale as soon as it’s listed, before it’s even verified. He found this out when someone bought a key as soon as he put it on the system. He even goes as far as adding a fake listing, which passes the verification process, to prove his point. 

Following that, G2A promptly respond by tracking his account down and blocking it, freezing any funds he had in his wallet and making them inaccessible. Now the Reddit community are up in arms about the whole thing, adding even more fuel to the G2A hate. 

When the whole point of the AMA was to prove they are doing everything they can to fight fraudulently obtained key sales, I think it’s fair to mark this one down as a loss. The thread is bursting at the seams with criticism, and the posts by the G2A representatives do very little to address it. A lot of the company’s comments come across like the video embedded at the top of this article.
