But, Skwarczek said, its biggest markets are the U.S. Because of the breadth of payment options that G2A allows, it has also been able to make inroads into places its competitors can’t easily reach like India and Turkey. It’s just that, in this instance, nearly all of those goods are ephemeral digital codes. The benefit of such a marketplace, Skwarczek said, is that competition drives down the cost of goods for consumers. Here he's pictured with NASDAQ's senior vice president of listing services Robert H. Skwarczek describes himself as an entrepreneur, coach, speaker and mentor on his personal website. We are just delivering the platform and they are doing the transactions." We’re not buying product from them and selling those products to the market. There are 200,000 external, third-party sellers.

He said that for a long time they were, among other things, a retailer of digital goods. One of the first points, and perhaps the most important, that Skwarczek wanted to make is that G2A is no longer a seller of digital goods, gray market or otherwise.

In order to make sense of the whole story, Polygon also reached out to several experts in the international payments industry. It offered up the company’s chief executive officer, Bartosz Skwarczek, for an interview. Now G2A wants to set the record straight about its business practices. Since Polygon began covering the story, G2A has even made changes in how it verifies the the identity of its users. In the last few weeks, G2A has seemingly made concessions in favor of developers by agreeing to, among other things, offer a form of royalty payments. What followed was an ugly public confrontation between the two organizations. They claimed that a company called G2A was " facilitating a fraud-fueled economy" by allowing digital game keys purchased with stolen credit cards to be sold secondhand online. About a month ago independent developer Tiny Build made a bold accusation.
