The best thing about steam is you can buy keys from other sites, or even add incompatible games so they still showed up in your library.

PSN won't even show you the current price for a game you own because it would encourage users to wait for a slae.

The worst thing about those sites is in most cases it results in the developer being ripped off because the keys are either stolen or purchased using stolen credit cards.

Countless devs have said they would rather people pirate their games than buy keys from those sites

This is true for a small category of sites I won’t name, but there’s also lots of sites that have a direct business relationship with the publisher. Ex: greenmangaming, gamersgate.
