I did point out that the publishers are to blame. "Anyway, it's pretty apparent that for many companies like Square Enix, Capcom, Koei Techmo, Ubisoft, etc., the regular Steam Price of a game is just a B.S. listing made to get you to jump whenever a sale happens."

GoG all the way. 

I wouldn't bother with a key reseller site unless I was 100% sure that the dev isn't getting screwed over in some way.

I've never been screwed over by GMG for years. It's scummy as hell key seller sites like G2A you want to watch out for. 

You can use GMG to grab Steam keys, or even keys for clients like Uplay as well.

I'm not going to stop using Steam because a few greedy af publishers want more money for doing less. I'd rather just use one of Steam's amazing features, and slap those publishers/games on my ignore/block list and instead focus on other games that offer me better value and content. No other client(that I know of) seems to offer such an amazing feature, and it also helps me to avoid temptation of buying a game, I wasn't intending to buy, as well as filtering out genres I don't want to see (like Turn based strat games). 

Wait, I thought GMG was just another key reseller site. On their main site they claim to get all their content directly from the publisher. If true, then that would be exactly what I'm looking for. Prices for Assassin's Creed, RE7, X-Com 2 Collection, etc. are all in line with retail, or slightly better. They aren't timed sales, just regular prices. 

Can anybody verify that GMG is not a key reseller site like Kinguin or G2A? Can somebody prove that they do indeed get their games directly from publishers?
