Are G2A's Steam Gifts against Steam's TOS?

[AstroBenny]

I understand that selling Steam Gifts is against Steam's TOS but how come G2A is full  of sellers wanting money for Steam gifts?

All games from G2A are against steams TOS haha

 

and most developers/publishers do not support G2A either

I dont know if its against TOS but:

There is no way to identify if a gift was bought/sold on G2A or just gifted.

Since you email the gift and get a link, so anyone who presses that link gets the game.

And how it works on G2A is , you put in the link then when someone buys it , he recives the link , immediatly when he presses it he becomes owner of the gift.

 

 

sry for bad english

 

People either buy steam games on sale or get a bunch of games from humble bundle. Then list it on G2A

I use g2a and the gifts are fine, but now steam have made it so you can't gift vac enabled games, I would be careful of what you buy that is in the gift format. For example, you wouldn't be able to buy a CS-GO gift version and redeem it.
