Quoting: killyouLiamWe did have one with Games Republic for a time, but they have shut down now. The major problem with this is the time and effort involved with likely little pay-off. It would be a massive undertaking to do my own key store. Not just to get it working, but to get developers to work with me. It's just too much.
Have you ever thought of opening a key store? People here are complaining the most about getting Linux keys, how to buy it (and when) to make it count as Linux and stuff. It's confusing for a lot of people so why wouldn't you open a store where every sale would count as Linux. So when there is a key in Liam's store it's surely working on Linux and supporting Linux porters/developers. I sure would buy games here with confidence instead of taking the business elsewhere and it would give you some revenue, maybe a lot at some point. I also wouldn't mind game related ads.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI use G2A for to buy Steam Wallet codes for my steam Linux account ...No, they don't. That's the limit on a Steam account at the start.
Because, You know, If you don't spend at least 5 U$D per year, Steam limit your account and you can not even add friends.

Quoting: ColomboI'm talking about game keys, electronic content, not furniture. I don't think even ebay should allow Steam keys being resold.Quoting: liamdaweIf they have no way to verify, then they shouldn't be selling them. I don't see why this is hard to fathom.Nonsense. Can Ebay verify that I own and not stole this chair that I am selling?
Its public marketplace.

Quoting: FishticonI WAS excited for this but now it just seems like the web-based GDevelop app; which is already there, free, and great.Any time I've tried GDevelop it was gosh darn terrible. The guys at Scirra actually have people making fully-fledged commercial games with Construct 2. It's actually a very good and powerful tool with a good interface. Construct 3 seems to be even better, and we get support, so what's not to love?
I don't even see how this is different, other than it costs money and doesn't have a desktop app.

Quoting: FutureSutureMeanwhile, it has been over a year since Galaxy released for Windows and Mac OS. The folks at GOG sure like to take their sweet time.This is why I personally prefer itch.io, as they have such clear, open and honest communication.
