Reading discussions this site seems almost as shady as G2A, make that of what you will.

As far as I know, it is, or was, part of G2A (popped up around the same time), with things like G2APay, etc.
Since the bad press with G2A, pretty much all visible links have been removed referring to G2A.

I just bought a game for Puzzle that I made from the HRK site however, I logged in with my steam account before I bought the game but after I bought the game my account changed to someone else's account, and the live chat feature doesn't work I've contacted via email but no reply

openid shouldn't do this, but be cautious

change password change api key, get new backup codes deauthorize devices

Did the OpenId, and my steam credentials were already logged on steam, so guess you may have your data compromised somewhere else

Maybe, just maybe think that the site might be bugged, which seems to be acting it's behaviour? It even happened to steam.
Nothing wrong with HRK.

Bought like 8 things from it with no issue. User changing seems fishy, I would look in to your account so you haven't been hacked or anything.

HRK is a name I haven't heard of in years. Last I remember it was generally dubious and low quality without doing anything outright illegal.

I bought there once when I had no experience about some of these sites. HRK gives descriptions about the purchase process, but it's all confusing and brief until you actually go through it. I received the game through a Steam gift sent by a bot, which is super sketchy, and then I learned that's against steam rules after doing some research about it. Not every purchase is the same I believe, but gotta be careful.

I bought a couple of games in there and I didn't face any issues. Thought I don't like the site has you can't buy more of one copy of each game. And you can only have 5 items in basket, which plays together that you can use each discount code also once.

I sent them a ticket asking them to help you, maybe they'll listen to an account that has bought games form them.

HRK AFAIK is not a scam, just a G2A site partner they have lasted several years now

registered since 2015, bought 2-3 games so far, but can't tell if they changed since my last buy

I tried to visit the HRK group on steam and I saw that there were 5 Administrators there I tried to look at their SG account and it turned out that 1 out of 5 Administrators got a permanent ban on SG damn I got scammed just because of a discount

Wait a day for response. Also what about email? For login or buy confirmation.

I suspect the reason for that admin's suspension was that he promoted links to HRK's website in his GA descriptions so I wouldn't necessarily draw a connection between that event 8 years ago and your current troubles.

All HRK Administrators linked their site in their GA description, but only 1 was permanently banned

It definitely sounds like a very shady store judging by the discussions on their steam group page

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Hopefully, they'll deliver your key or issue a refund if you keep complaining and harassing them.

But broken because they don't talk to you or because they just tell you they can't do nothing?

It is not a scam. After trying to log in with Steam, it'll still ask you to put an e-mail. If the payment went trough, then you should have received several e-mails from HRK with information about the game you just bought as well as a way to check the key, if you can't log in to that account, then just try to recover a password for that e-mail instead of trying to log in using Steam.

I've bought from them several times and never had any problem at all.

I think they actually sell steam accounts with the game you purchase, you must have bought that without noticing, i was recently looking to buy rdr2 from them and the cheapest option was just that, a new steam account with the rdr2 license

Notice the red bubble text in the bottom right

You need to be careful when looking at the game description on HRK (and possibly other vendors)... if it says "Steam account"... they are not selling the key... they are selling you an actual Steam account that has the game in it. So you would presumably (I have never bought one of these) logging into the "new" Steam account you just purchased. Your own account still exists, you would need to log out of the new account and into your existing account. I don't know, but I assume it would be difficult/impossible to move the game from the new account to your existing account.

In primordial times they had a key raffle where you could win games. I figured out the drop pattern of their algorithm and when to enter to win a key.
In the end they banned me from participating and I banned them from my shop list end of story.

G2A sells games by selling you the account (sometimes) I suspect it's the same thing there. Selling accounts is against TOS and can draw unwanted attention if that is the case, stay clear - request refund through pp or cc depending how you paid.

Also, to be safe, change your steam password though - hopefully you have 2FA activated.

Additional problem with a bought Steam account: original owner can recover account theoretically and you as buyer look rather stupid with no money, no game and no account.

For some reason I'm subscribed to the discussions of HRK group on steam. Yeah, stay away.
Tons of people saying they got duplicate keys or no key at all and the support doesn't answer.
