Simple question : what possible outcome could happen if i would pick country i'm not from to save cash on VAT taxes? I was really excited to find game i really want in my price range there but added my country's huge VAT it goes over my budget :(

Nothing, since they never report any actual sales to the affected countries. If they would actually paying taxes, then the site wouldn't ask you where do you want to do your taxes, as they would just select it by default based on the information that also can change the currency to your local one when you open the site.

This is what i was wondering about. They know where i;m from since i have my countries flag near my name but still lets me choose my VAT by country which is confusing.

It is a clever ploy. If you want to be "honest", then you just pay them an additional 16-27% for nothing. If they would actually pay taxes after sales, the Russian Federation wouldn't have a deficit. :)

I have bought from some sites before that don't add VAT to your purchase and never had any trouble. In general i would avoid G2A, they have a shady history of selling stolen keys where the developer doesn't get a single cent.

Before buying from G2A i would recommend pirating, you are not supporting the developer this way either, but at least you aren't supporting scumbags either.

Sadly i want online component of that game so pirating is not an option ( even thou as poor as i am trying not to do that anymore whatsoever) . And i cant afford game at full price to support devs directly :(

I will not judge you for buying there if you have no other options, just be aware of the facts.

I would say... don't buy on G2A xD
And at least check seller stats. G2A doesn't care about frauds so it's possible to find huge scammers on their front pagexD

Looking for Spain in the list every time I buy something is annoying, so I just select Andorra, which is at the top of the list and close enough geographically :P. It has 0% VAT, but that's just a coincidence, of course.
