Now the lower deals are on the key reseller sites, because...no refunds.

Apparently they just sell you an account with the game or some family sharing shenanigans, best just to avoid these sites.

I didn't encounter that on the site I bought from...I don't think. And it was the only way to get the game by that point, the developer had closed their sales so it was this or piracy. I chose to pay for a key than to pirate.

Technically I'd paid for the game twice. I bought it back in the day for the OUYA and then again for Steam, because I wanted to play the game. I think it's a shame that it wasn't more popular because it was a fun game.

They sell a steam account and some people are mad because they didn't notice, I honestly don't blame them who think they are going to get an account when on a key reseller website. Or family sharing an account?

They dont sell keys, they expect you to link your account to other existing ones through family share

Who knows I expect stolen accounts were involved.

I miss the Ouya... Totally impractical but even more awesome.

Out of curiosity which game was it? The Amazing Frog game?

I'm talking about sites like Fanatical and Green Man Gaming. They sell legitimate keys that you can redeem on Steam; they just undercut Steam by a little bit because they can.
