In China, there’s a common Steam scam — sellers offer dirt-cheap game keys for like $1, using some tech trick to make the game temporarily show up in your library. A lot of new players don’t know how this works, and they don’t really have a sense of what games should cost. So they think paying $1 for a AAA title is a great deal.

The good news is, police have been cracking down on this gray market. It was worth tens of millions of dollars.
