As a small game dev, I can tell you that I get a lot of emails from people impersonating content creators requesting keys for “review.” They then turn around and sell those keys on sites like Kinguin to make a quick buck. If you buy from key reseller sites, that’s who you are supporting. Developers don’t see a cent.

What’s crazy is since last year the admins have been asking mods to step up their free labor or lose their subreddits. Now they want to micromanage mod decisions too? Coupled with the admins trying to turn communities against their mods, there’s a serious loss of trust at this point, and I don’t think the admins are going to get it back.

Lol, fuck spez. I’ve used reddit since 2011 but this debacle has been the last straw for me.
