== Edit re Owner ==

Wikimedia received an email from a representative of the company, requesting the addition of Dawid Rożek to the sidebar. However, I checked the template, and did not not see a “founder” entry. He is one of the two co-founders. I have not seen a reference identifying the owner(s). I removed the entry from the infobox, and corrected the lede.--[[User:Sphilbrick|<span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span>]][[User talk:Sphilbrick|<span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span>]] 13:57, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

== As the keys sold were not always bought directly from the developer, sometimes the companies would not receive any money from the sales.[7] ==

The statement that developers not always receive some money is really false. No matter what the origin of the keys is, they always come from the developer at the end and it was developer who produced the keys in the first place. These keys are not randomly generated in Excel using =rand() or something, they are sold by developers to distributors (to be used in boxed editions), to online distribution platforms (like GMG) to be resold, to bundle selling platforms (e.g. Humble Bundle) or other places but are always sold somewhere to someone first and then they're redistributed via G2A. The very same example can be made for used cars. While a person can sell a car they owned to someone else, it was the car's manufacturer who sold the car first and that's when their money came. <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/91.189.30.69|91.189.30.69]] ([[User talk:91.189.30.69|talk]]) 11:18, 8 February 2016 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== hpHosts listing ==

Is it notable that G2A is blacklisted by hpHosts by their own administrator? Source: hosts-file.net/?s=g2a.com [[User:BFeely|BFeely]] ([[User talk:BFeely|talk]]) 16:12, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
