Wait what exactly is the purpose of buying a steam key from a third party? And how is that profitable and not tos breaking?

[โ€“] Kualdir@feddit.nl 3 points 23 hours ago

Good question! Real resellers (so NOT g2a, etc) get their keys from publishers directly (so they pay for them). The publishers get these keys from steam for free and by buying them from a reseller steam takes 0% of the money. So by using an EU reseller more money stays here.
