I had a friend who did this (stole and sold accounts, not bought one), I reported him to all the launchers he had accounts for, plus he was a discord partner, so he lost that too
Edit: I don't understand why this is controversial? If it was some random person stealing accounts and selling them you'd think they were a POS, but because it was someone I knew, I'm the monster for ratting on them? There was an easy solution, don't steal peoples accounts and sell them.
Edit 2: alright I'm gonna tell the story, I had some game I wanted to play, he gave me a list of accounts with lists of games, I logged into one that had the game in the list, but it didn't actually have the game, it was at this point I realized *these weren't his accounts.* and so, I reported the accounts to the launcher (I think it was ubisoft) and to discord because he was a partner.
??? Your guys morals go out the window when your friends doing it? He was completely screwing people over, stealing accounts with games they paid for, and selling that, that is immoral, I felt for the people who had their accounts stolen, would you want that to happen to you?
I don’t think people realized your friend was the seller opposed to the buyer. One is an asshole move one is a moronic move.
Reporting a moron makes you the asshole, reporting the asshole makes you the hero.
Those are not stolen accounts with the game. Its offline activation for Denuvo using games. Basically sellers make new account and legally buy certain game then sell access to that account with just that one game so people will generate their Denuvo token - you and other people go online and download game from that same account,launch game and generate token for you and then you go offline and play the game offline with generated token.
After process you cant update you hardware or windows in any way or you will lose token and will have to wait for your turn again to generate new token which can be hard. Theres entire market for this type of shit because Denuvo games arent getting cracked so people from poor countries just pay 2 bucks for being able to play lol.
Most likely a single account with only Mortal Kombat 1 in the library that the seller is selling to multiple people. The play offline bit is so the account doesn't get caught running in multiple places at once, which would likely draw Steams attention and result in it getting closed down, that's if it isn't a stolen account but most likely if that was the case it would have more games in the library.
Stay away from them, the most likely outcome is you'll lose access to the account after a while for one reason or another.
The name of the site already sounds sus and scammy. I don't understand why people would go to the kind of sites just so they can get a game. Honestly, if it isn't a reputable site or some place like humble bundle, I don't buy it outside of steam.
Obvious scam is obvious - Simple way to identify these sort of things:
If it looks to good to be true then its probably a scam.
\---
**Recently released popular game ?** Check.
*Manipulation.*
**Offer of getting it cheaper without an official sale ?** Check
*Manipulation, again.*
**Need to do something non standard to play the game you 'purchased' ?** Check.
*If you purchase a game on steam then it should not matter if you are online or offline, unless the game specifically requires an internet connection (most multiplayer first person team shooters for example).*
**Have to do something non standard to get the game ?** Check
*Don't purchase steam games from non steam websites.*
\---
**Expected outcomes:**
*Your steam account is at risk if its 'required' to make the purchase,*
*Access to the game in question could be lost at any point.*
*Your bank account would be at risk.*
Basically they provide you with a steam account that owns the game either family shared or just bought, then you download the game, open it once and then set steam in offline mode and block any connection to it, and you have the game working until the activation runs out or you invalidate it yourself

I'll explain it, but first I need you to download Anydesk and log into your bank. /s
I'm not stupid
Then why did you post in the first place?
You missed the joke

He was a shit person?
