tinyBuild boss Alex Nichiporchik contacted Eurogamer with this claim. He said that G2A's business model "facilitates a black market economy." Nichiporchik went on to accuse G2A users of using a database of stolen credit cards to pick up keys in bulk to then sell on G2A.

tinyBuild tried to sell its games on its own online store, but Nichiporchik revealed that it was hit hard by chargebacks associated with fraudulent credit card purchases.
