Hm, strange: for us in Brazil, it is less expensive on Steam (80% discount, at R$13,99) than on Indiegala (90% discount, but at R$24,75).

Have fun! Cheers!

Oh, you are correct, of course. The Deluxe Edition on Steam shows up at a 71% discount, at R$30,16. I stand corrected. :D

Cheers!

Mãe: Pra que?
Pai: Sinal de respeito.

Strange that Indiegala isn't in the list. Is there a reason for that?

Indiegala is on the second list they sell the game under the name WRC 9 Deluxe Edition FIA ... instead of WRC 9 FIA ... Deluxe Edition

Keys that are sold there are bought sometimes with stolen credit card credentials and then resold.

That was before crypto. Nowadays much easier to buy crypto with stolen credit cards. They can't be revoked :)
Most key seller sites use the fact that steam fck over ppl with regional pricing, so the sellers buy their inventory from the publisher in cheaper countries and sell them to richer countries with more profit but still less than steam selling. Sometimes you get a picture of the key in the box instead of the key from some lazy sellers :D (so you need to manually type in and can't copy paste, but still valid). That's how most of the sellers work. Except for Kinguin/G2play and G2A where everybody can sell keys. That's why when a bundle lands on Humble or Fanatical, their games can be bought in a couple of hours there. But still, all the sites have great customer service that will refund you if the key doesn't work. At least of my case where I only use gg.deals or allkeyshop listed sites, and bought half of my games from these sites in the last 10 years without any problems. But always in the end, everybody can decide for themself.

From your:

[...] so the sellers buy their inventory from the publisher in cheaper countries and sell them to richer countries with more profit but still less than steam selling.

and from this article:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/wiki/dangersofkeyresellers/

When we buy from sites that resell these keys, we are actively encouraging publishers to increase those regional prices or implement region locks on their games.

A person can ignore the long term consequence to the whole community, for their short term personal gain.
But IMHO, this sucks!

Good. Really. Those are predatory practices anyway. You can buy games cheaper in Norway which is one of the richest country in Europe than in countries where you can only pay with euro. And not all Europe has the same wealth. A German works much less for a 60€ game than a Hungarian or Romanian. Region locks only sux when you buy games abroad. But the only reason you buy games abroad is because they are cheaper there. At least I don't see any other reasons right now.
Region pricing is just pure discrimination.

A person can ignore the long term consequence to the whole community, for their short term personal gain.

What community? That community that can buy cheap games from first-party sites?
Oh and don't let me start with that you don't own your pc games anyway. You can sell your console games but not your pc games.
IMHO the problem is not the key seller sites, but publishers' predatory behavior.

A German works much less for a 60€ game than a Hungarian or Romanian.

And the german need to pay much more for his rented flat (around 40% of his income), the taxes (around 40% of his income), the food, the drinks, the electricity, healthcare etc., as in Hungary or Romania.
So if he have in the end more in his money purse for games is a other question.

When you show a picture then the full one and not only a tiny fraction.

In Hungary flat is the same around 40% (if you can afford to live alone), Taxes from pay is 36%, VAT 27%, food/drinks are the same price but lesser quality (thx for the high VAT), and local beer is shit. Hungarian electricity and gas bills were the highest in Europe last year. Free healthcare is shit because most of the doctors already work in Germany ^^
If the median German pay can afford only the same life quality as a Hungarian median, then brain drain won't be a problem, Germany won't be full of Central European workforce and Hungary won't be full of German pensioners ^^
I don't attack Germany, only use it as an example of a Western country

I support regional pricing, as I see nothing wrong to pay less when you also earn less.
Before Valve introduces regional pricing, I just went pirating games.
Paying 60$, which is worth half a month of food for a single person, for a game is ridiculous.
Well, I'm against the idea of a common currency with its current flaws, so it looks like an European's problem.

That community that can buy cheap games from first-party sites?

I'm sorry if I've made a confusion.
I didn't mean to include the abusive region hoppers in the "community", they are just bad.
