ok so i added a guy here from steamtrades and he didnt say anything that his gta 4 is windows live version so i thought it's steam of course i gave him 1 key for forge and he gave me a strange key, then he said i have to download the game somewhere add the key and it will go full version with multiplayer, i was like WTF? ILLEGAL or what?
he said download skidrow or whatever, i said NO i dont do that. now he says it's normal for windows live games....

i dont know windows live stuff at all, is this legit at all? i mean if it is legal then there has to be a legal site to download and activate the product.

Probably a free key from CD-Action, which can by use only if you have downloaded a pirated GTA IV (only activate a MP), so you should not trade with this one.

There's a rule against calling out. Perhaps you should delete or edit this comment :)

I traded with a guy for a non-steam key for once, except he told me beforehand and I was okay with it.

Steam is not responsible for this, so no. Maybe SteamRep. Also, this is SteamGifts

Steam won't deactivate the Forge key. Basically Steam doesn't support key trades so they won't do anything about it, you should have asked about it before you made the trade. And also it's not illegal, it's a valid non-steam key.

Ps. No calling out! Remove the user profile link.

why not call him out? protecting or defending him? thats not the right way, people shall be warned.

You're on the wrong forum, first of all. And this forum has that rule in place, so if you want to post something here, you would do well to read them. Also, it's a fallacy saying that someone is defending him, by reminding you of this.

I'm sorry dude but that's the rule here. It might not be something I/you agree with but we just have to live by the rules here.

In theory he gave you a key for the game but still not what you expected. You have the right to report him though.

There are plenty of people trading GFWL keys on SteamTrades. If he did not tell you before the trade that the key he is giving you is for GFWL, I would report him to the various Steam anti-scammer sites. Misleading someone is a form of scamming.

As it is your money, do what you feel is justified.

if he told you that you had to go to skidrow and get something to make the game work then thats a red flag cause skidrow is a piracy group. you need to go to steamtrades support and give them the chat log and also remove all reference to the guys name from this thread or just delete the thread entirely. it is against rules here to tell name of the scammer, aka name and shame.

you have all the info you need from forums now just deal with support staff.

if you have clear retail proof of purchase of the forge key you could in theory report to steam to prove you own the key and get it removed from his account.
