I am sorry for saying this. But wtf are you saying?

You did not even read the post. Lemme explain agian in a simpler way.

A criminal uses his stolen 10k to buy steam keys. Then he sells them for 50% of market place on a reselling site like g2a.

BOOM! Criminal made his 10k of stolen money into 5k of clean money.

BUT IT DOES NOT END THERE.

THE BANK ISSUES A REFUND BECAUSE THEY REALISE IT IS STOLEN MONEY. AND THEN DEVELOPERS HAVE TO REFUND. AND THEY DO NOT GET ANY MONEY

BUT IT DOES NOT END THERE EITHER.

THEY HAVE TO PAY AN EXTRA FEE AGIAN BECAUSE THEY ARE REFUNDING. (1-2$)

CONSIDERING THAT PERSON BOUGHT 1000 Keys Or So

1000x2=2000$ of fees

For a indie developer for example, it happens 10 times 20000$ AND IT happens MUCH MUCH more often!

UNDERSTAND NOW?
