    If these streamers aren’t being contracted, then it is basically the same as a gift. Selling the key is still perhaps morally dubious if there was an expectation of promotion, but that’s as far as it goes.

        My justification for what exactly? I wasn’t justifying anything.

        And what do you believe should be a crime? Giving out free keys, or selling keys that you got for free?

        If theres no formal agreement and no contract between the dev and the recipient of the key, where/what is the crime??

          Selling keys you were gifted to play in order to raise the games profile. See your previous comment if you’re still confused as to what’s being talked about.

          As I literally just said, if your justification is that it isn’t a crime, you already know it should be. Seeing as you seem genuinely confused, verbal contracts and agreements in writing (e.g email exchanges) are still contracts, even if not formal.
