And as expected, they didn't went clean, it's hard to leave behind all the huge profits from selling stolen goods.
I was never intereseted in G2A but recently I heard that you can pay there via sms (I want to clear my prepaid card somehow :P) and decided to buy some games there (that I won't be able to get box version anyways - like MGS Phantom Pain) so I started to reading about them... and boy, considering amount of bad opinion and other wierd things, I'm surprised that they are still there...

Also in their (Gearbox) response they claim that G2A shield is a loyalty program (and that without it you will just wait longer for help), but when I turned it off in the app I was told that they don't take responsibility for bad key so how it is really?

actually to make the analogy of going to sears and picking it up at best buy better is this: you go to sears and take a photograph of the price including model #. You then go to best buy that same day for the same model TV and show the cashier the picture of the price at sears for the model. The cashier then inputs the reason for the price difference after looking it up (I did this before; printed out page when Toys r us had Diablo III for $10, took to Best Buy, and did exactly this-game was $60 cost me $10 and tax)

I turn it off and got refunded anyway, legally they have to refund you
I'm really hoping they crash and burn soon. Indie devs shouldn't have to fear these greedy pigs bankrupting them with chargebacks because they sell keys bought with stolen credit cards. Its a matter of industry freedom to not have such a threat looming over small developers. I'd even go a step further and demand steam deactivate keys after some time. There is no use keeping them valid for more than a week or two, and that is in the case of gifts.
I once read an interesting article where the developer of <span class="bold">Defender's Quest</span><i>(link)</i> rationally explained why he rather wants you to pirate his games than to buy them on G2A:

But you don't understand guise, G2A users claim they didn't ever have any issues using it! Kappa
GBX were not coming out of the G2A deal as the good guys anyways so they made that pointless "ultimatum" to save face. Nothing will happen guys. I don't care about either one of those scam artist companies.
