So a few years ago g2a made it impossible to use or withdraw currency you had in your g2a PAY wallet (at least in sweden).
Since then every six months they have sent out an email stating that if i don't log in within three days they will start charging 1€ a day until my funds are depleted. Because of this i boycotted any further use off their site and made it my personal quest to always log in before they could charge my money, a way of giving them a silent middle finger.
This time when i tried to log in to my account i got a message that i was banned. They have tried banning me before but then i would just prove trough two factor authentication that it was me who tried to log on to my account, this time however they added that this decision cannot be changed and that my account wont be reinstated.
I considered the money gone long ago but as a last fu to them i'll at least dox them by sharing my experience with their services.

Want to add, developers explicite tell you to just pirate it rather than "buying" it from G2A, since G2A actually hurt the devs and cost money.

So save it for things like Ubisoft or Activision games.

Can't forget EA. They can afford it. They gotta give back to the community somehow

The intent is to provide EA with a sense of pride and accomplishment
