I've given friends keys for Steam games before. I could, for example, buy a game for a friend. If your game is available on Steam, people can purchase Steam keys for it from Steam. The credit card's bank finds out the card number was compromised and the retailer has the money taken out of their account, so the retailer takes the money back from the game developer.
