Chrono.gg

To begin with, this is a post going through a website known as chrono.gg, A site i have found through bullet barry which is offers sales of good games (most are indies).
There is one game per day ,the sale ends after that, and they offer descriptions of them and game-play through twitch streamers and youtubers they are in terms with ( influencers) to show case the games for you to make sure that when you purchase the game from them you are making the right choice and not mislead by anyway shape or form. The games that are put in sales are carefully chosen and made sure that they are of good quality, since there are over 80 games being released on steam daily and not all of them are of decent quality.

Ok, that all looks fine and dandy. however some might be skeptical that they even aide game developers at all as other sites like G2A are notorious for being a market that anyone can sell game keys in.
Thus it is unknown if the keys are truly legitimate or pirated, or even just resold and in the latter two cases it does not help the developers. Moreover some sites who claim to review games are have exposed to light that they plagiarize their reviews and sell the keys on G2A. In fact the developers of Dark wood advocate pirating their game on pirate bay rather than buy it from G2A.

On the other hand, there is no grey market shenanigans that G2A possesses in chrono.gg, as it sources they get the keys from game devs and share their earnings from them. This is evident by the promotions verified blogs from the developers/games in social media speaking of that one sale. This happened with X COM, Gungeon and other games.

The sales in this site are relatively huge reaching to 90% with darksiders franchise pack,
and sometimes feature well known high budget games like Vampyr and the aforementioned X COM 2

Not only does that site offer games in an affordable price, but they also afford some games in coins that are earned without any expenses. To illustrate the are two games added fortnightly in Chrono that can be purchased using Chrono coins. The coins can be earned by entering daily, you earn 20+ coins and after spinning for coins 3, 7, 14 and 30 times you gain chests (after the 30th spin you gain a legendary chest and the cycle repeats) which are bigger than the last (until the cycle repeats). the chests rewards you with extra coins that would allow you to purchase any of the games added fortnightly.

Through this fortnightly service, I was able to get games like Hotline Miami and Silent Age, the latter of which I have posted a review on before.
(if you want me to review Hotline Miami comment down below). However i have not purchased any games from their sales yet so i can not comment on those. Regardless it is a service that allows PC gamers to purchase games with affordable prices while helping the developers.
