Keys, accounts and other bagpipes
Fanatical, Eneba and many other pages allow us to access these titles at a discount, since in the case of the PC many years ago the physical format passed away. When the computer video game market was going through the worst with piracy, Gabe Newell’s came as saviors to offer a much more agile and secure alternative solution.
Well, as we tell you, one thing is that you go to one of those pages to buy one key of a game, which are often advertised as “Steam Key GLOBAL” either “Steam Key EUROPE” either “Steam Key SPAIN» and another that let yourself be carried away by those who advertise «Steam Account – GLOBAL« that have also become popular in recent times and that are not what they seem… at least at first glance because they tend to get us hooked quickly for one reason only: their especially low price.
Indeed, when you come across descriptions like the one you have right here below, which offer Half Life Alyx at half price under the format of «Steam Account – GLOBAL«do not refer to the type of account that you must have to exchange a hypothetical key, but to the product itself that you are acquiring.
A third-party account… flee!
That is exactly what you are buying. a game that is inside a third-party account and, therefore, what they do is not send you a cd key to redeem it in your Steam library, but it is a username and password that is used to access a profile that you will not know who is behind it or who it belongs to.
It’s more, are “Steam Account – GLOBAL» will continue in the hands of other people when you dedicate yourself to playing with the title that you have purchased, in such a way that the recovery or password change emails are not in your hands and, therefore, they could cancel your access when they need it. For example, because that same game has been sold to another person and it’s time to eliminate you from the equation.
That is why we want to make it clear that, in these cases, you are not getting a copy of a game that will go to your library to use in your personal Steam account, but access to a profile that you do not control and from which you can be expelled at any time, since the ID management tools are not available to you. They belong to someone who, from some corner of the world, has the power to press the nuclear button whenever he wants.
So be very careful and read the conditions carefully of what you are buying. It is not that that lower price than normal that they offer is not what you expect.
