    How is this not a scam?

    Also, blockchain would solve this issue/risk

      How? They could still revoke the key. You can say HWG5NJ-1YJCTU-RZPDFH all you want, if Steam says no, you’re equally SOL.

      Scam? That thing is mislabeled as “free”, people grabbed it for exactly $0, then the license of that key got pulled. No transaction happen in this case.

          A bad way to keep records too as it’s immutable.
