Look at the price Fanatical has set and compare it to Steam. I guess they wanted to follow the new pricing that Activision Blizzard has set for their games but forgot that most people are not that gullible or else those keys would have been sold instantly. Huh, maybe I am missing something here because GreenManGaming is doing the exact thing. From my experience with GreenManGaming they don't usually do that, so I wonder if it is because of this particular game. Interestingly enough CDkeys has the price closest to Steams retail price and the largest discount. That is kind of ironic since it is a more shady marketplace, but they are being the most honest.

What was it? They must have changed it because they're the same as Steam now.

@WoodenSaucer It still says 64,05 USD (before the discount) for me, while on Steam it is 59 USD without being discounted.

Maybe it's because you're in a different country. I'm in the US, and Fanatical says $59.99 for Standard, and $69.99 for Digital Deluxe before discount. GMG says $59.99 for Standard, and $69.99 for Deluxe. Steam says the same thing.

@WoodenSaucer Still a bit strange with the discount, but that could be the case.

Many [all?] big companies offer some same products under different pricing in different countries—if I recall correctly, that's one of the arguments against key resellers. They also offer same product under different brand names, even car models.
