Unless you download and install, F2P games will not be listed in the library though it shows you own already on the game's page(complimentary license). Also, such licenses will not add a +1 to your library count (for you to showcase as games owned).

^^ and the moment you uninstall the game it will be gone from your library, unless you purchase a DLC to bind the game to your library.

Yes and more.

  1. Basically G2A is just like eBay, a marketplace for game keys. So any Tom, Dick and Harry can list his keys and try to sell. Publishers don't like this because they don't want their games being sold via unauthorized channels. It would be hard to track who sold what and how he got it in the first place to sell.
  2. Next, you purchase a lot of keys from publisher for X price per key, re-list the same in G2A for X price and then after a month, chargeback your transaction you made with publisher with the bank. Now publisher loses his money, he cannot revoke all the keys as it would disappoint a lot of customers when they see a red banner once you login to Steam saying "A game has been removed from your account". G2A won't help the publisher in this case. Publisher loses business.
  3. Usage intended for the keys. Publisher agrees with Humble Bundle for charity (or) some other company/individual as a giveaway to promote their game via social media (all those Gleam giveaways). Companies or individual buy like 100,000 keys for $500 (yes it is that cheap) and next what you do - you go straight to G2A and list them at slightly lesser retail price or discounted price from original. Publisher loses business as he did not give the keys for this purpose. Neither there is no way to track the keys from where they are being sold or how they are used.
  4. G2A threatens that they will help the publisher only if publisher agrees to work with them i.e. become affiliated to them thereby they can legitimize their business (and make more of us fall into their trap). Publishers don't want to undercut their official retailers.

Bottom-line - Just like how you would avoid P2P downloads in order to support devs, G2A and other key selling marketplaces should be avoided if you want to support a healthy business model in gaming industry.

Bottom-line2 - And dislike/unsupport the disgraces to gaming industry like the sh1tty PewDiePie, who only cares about money and endorses G2A, Kinguin etc.

Just what I have said in #2, another scam that involves G2A explained (applies to any unauthorized key selling platform). Only in this case, the chargeback is initiated automatically by the bank because stolen credit cards are used.

Once you install the game with key. For testing purposes, make sure to create an account in all four regions, and login to that account. This will verify if your key is banned in any of the regions already or not. In each account, create a char and proceed to the next page. Go to the chat on left and see if you are able to join public chat. If you get a warning that you are redirected to The Void channel, that means key is muted. Cannot do PMs to friends or join public channels. Only messaging is allowed in-game. If all good so far, keep your fingers crossed as D2 keys are not account bound. You can claim the keys in Bnet website account of yours but you don't login with Bnet DRM while playing. Just it validates from registry.

Also, please let me know when you plan to play. I'm on Europe though.
