Steam's cdkey itself is generally safe. Only region locking problems may occur. For example, keys in some restricted areas may not be activated in national regions, but the transaction process of the key may be unsafe. For example, if the seller issues Give you a used key and so on.

There will be risks if the key is hacked. As an intermediary, py provides activation verification services. Although hacked keys cannot be eliminated, it can already avoid the problem of incorrect goods. To be honest, it is quite safe. , of course, it is also a small probability to encounter a black key in this case.

What are the pitfalls of the steam game cdkey sold on Taobao?

The first pitfall in buying games on Taobao: Since Steam changed the mechanism of sending games to friends, game dealers have been miserable. Collecting discount cdkeys in large quantities is no longer as simple as it used to be. In addition to foreign countries, some key websites will offer discounts from time to time. However, Steam searched on Taobao and found that there are still many vendors selling games on Steam.

Regardless of the merchants who claim to be national key and send the key to your mailbox (after all, Steam is not a businessman, who knows what other channels can get a large number of discount keys), those requirements The merchant who turns off the mobile token for your account password is definitely buying games in the low-price area to make the difference.

Some players may ask, "What is the operation of buying games across regions? What impact will it have?" First of all, cross-region purchasing refers to Steam. If it is in China, but the seller circumvents the wall, it will be in Russia. The game is purchased in the area or other low-price areas, and then sent to people in Steam in China. The economic development situation of each country is different, so the price of games on Steam is also different in each country. Unscrupulous game dealers rely on this to make the difference.

What are the impacts of cross-regional purchases? You will receive a little red letter from Steam, and the games you purchased across regions will be removed or banned. Of course, this is also possible. Steam has not tried the 3-month Dafa rumored online because Steam has never bought cross-region games.

The second pitfall you may encounter when buying games on Taobao is hacking keys. It means that the buyer (Taobao seller) purchases a certain amount of keys from the game official with a credit card or other methods, but the game official does not receive the money or receives less money later. Such keys will result in the receipt of yellow letters. , and then removed from your (Taobao buyer) game.

The third type of XPlus 1 charity package you encounter when buying games on Taobao. Those who claim that if you buy ten, you will definitely win a masterpiece, they are all fake. The masterpieces they talk about are all games from a few years ago. Such as Iron Sky, Metro 2033, The Witcher 2, etc.

Keys for such old games can still be purchased on foreign key websites and are cheap after all. Their two-dollar keys and one-dollar keys also come from foreign charity package websites and cost one dollar each. The two-dollar keys only cost about 0.2-1 yuan (maybe there are other ways that Steam doesn't know about).

So, buying games on Taobao must be unsafe? That's not necessarily the case. There is nothing wrong with a graphics card key, a boxed key, or a charity package key. There are also some conscientious websites in China, such as Shanguo. There was originally a website specializing in charity packages (four or five games for 1 yuan), but I don’t know if Steam forgot about it or it went bankrupt. If you are not sure about the key you bought, you can also go to steamdb to check whether it is a national key.
