No, because unlike your stupid ass I do my research before giving people my money. Only a fucking idiot would give their money to hong kong

don't use g2a
use a legit keysite instead

>>377623851
How long did it take? I'm hoping my RE7 copy doesn't get caught

op is probably lying and a reddit astroturfer, their trustpilot reviews are very high. post proof. also when did you buy the keys?

So what does this happen even if you buy from strictly the 5 star guys with hundreds of votes?

>>377624624
>>377624795
>>377624912

worst thing is, that you don't even get a message about it, they just remove it, and you notice it first when you want to play it again and browse for it in your 200+ games library

>stuff that never happened the thread

Literally haven't bought a single game directly from Steam in years and they're all still there. It's almost as if someone is trying to smear these keyseller sites.

>>377624930
>>377624989
>>377625015

it was a bunch of sims 3 expansions that I purchased in 2016.

3 of them were revoked, and one that I purchased last month was revoked However there are 2 others which are still good.

It's probably just EA cracking down on sims 3 xpacs. I'm just going to wait for the steam summer sale and move off origin.

>>377623851

You just tell them and they'll refund you at the very least in in-store credit.
big whoop you manchild

There's a new site called HRK which is pretty legit and cool, I buy my games from there. I recommend it.

There's nothing wrong with G2A if you use it properly.

>>377625392

Why would you ever use G2A instead of pirating for a singleplayer game? It's not like it benefits the devs either way, so why waste money?

>>377625729
>if you make someone buy a game for you the original seller gets no money

>>377625901
Not when so many of the keys are literally stolen. Tons of devs have even said themselves that they'd rather people pirate than use G2A.

>>377623851
I think pirates are freeloading assholes, but people who are using G2A are giving money to a scheme that sees a lot of smaller devs LOSE money.

I'd rather see 'em be freeloading assholes.

>>377626175
Maybe somewhere, but IDK. Point is, why would you give money to a business like that?They obviously don't care, and they're bad for the industry. Again, plenty of devs have said that you should pirate instead of supporting G2A.

>>377626269
Me too, all of my steam keys are untouched, it's just my sims 3 xpacs that suddenly disappeared.

I've written a support ticket, hopefully I can get some replacement keys.

>>377623851
could you pls tell us what games got revoked? i can't hardly believe you

i just bought 10e of games from there

>>377625978
Because they're counting on the fact that people will choose to buy over pirating. If you say "I'd rather have you do something illegal than do this" you don't really want them to do either. You want them to stop doing the other thing.

And if the market was rampant with stolen keys as you suggest, then prices would drop through the floor because the competition to sell stolen keys would be fierce. Most games would be at most $1, but they're rarely that low except for games that have been on humble bundle.

What really happens is that the keys are being resold from legitimate sources. They buy the key, the developer gets money, and then they resell it to you for a profit, which is the way the world works in every other industry. When you buy the key, no, the developer doesn't get any more money, because they already got the money from that sale. But the keys aren't an infinite commodity, so resellers will buy more keys when their supply of keys is running low, and the developers then get money from those new sales, so by buying from key sellers, you are in a very real way giving money to the devs.

The prices are lower because Steam gets a 30% cut from store sales. When you buy a $60 game, only $40 went to the publisher (who knows how much the dev gets). There are also markets where the keys are sold in retail packages that are cheaper than on the Steam store, because the cost of living is lower there and people have less money to spend on video games. This is usually hugely offset by not having to cut Steam in on the sale though, so the developers still make almost the same amount of money

And if they put their game on humble bundle, they need to deal with the fact that people are going to resell those keys. If you don't want your game being sold for $1, then don't fucking put it on humble bundle to begin with.

>>377626462
What does this even mean? I'm not even arguing that you should support the devs. Why not pirate instead of buying from G2A tho?

>>377625396
Never had an issue with any game purchased with the fraud insurance.

>>377626608
Cause then it's in my steam library

>>377626509

>>377626609
I never had any issues period, because I only buy from fuckers who sold millions of keys and don't resort to any shady behavior

>>377626383
I have only ever bought multiplayer enabled games through a keysite, anything else I would always either pirate or just buy through steam, I have maybe bought one or two games this way.

>>377626509

you completely missed the point of not buying from g2a that he is trying to make. you could not actually be that dense are you? not to mention the devs themselves apparently seem to rather want people to pirate instead of buying through g2a because it will cause them to lose money somehow. oh wait, if this is not weak bait you should kill yourself.

I never had a problem, I figure buying from top-rated sellers can't go wrong.

>>377625396
You're wasting your money on the insurance. For starters, there's no problem 99% of the time. And for the 1% of the time you have a problem, they'll still handle your case even without the insurance. You just don't get priority so it might take a few days longer

>>377623851
>a bunch of games i bought finally got their cdkeys revoked.
So file a complaint in the resolution center and get a refund, you fucking mongoloid. How the fuck do you expect G2A support to ban the scammers, if you don't file a complaint?

>>377627529
i think there is another reason that has nothing to do with them making less money per sale but actually having to pay for the chargeback

Many of them may be stolen.

>>377628393
What does that have to do with G2A? If they don't have the funds to provide a secure webstore they shouldn't try to run one. They are not the victim here. Chargebacks are a punishment for forcing the banks and their customers to sort out fraudulent charges because you couldn't be bothered to check whether the credit card was legit.

Painfully naive, just like most people on this site.

What's the point of not pirating if you're just going to buy games from shady 3rd party resellers?

Really mind boggling, and then you've got tards like >>377625396 who pay extra for the privilege of doing so.

Why not just buy the game?
Or pirate it if you are starving and have to buy food instead of games with your $2000 PC?

Reminder that whenever someone posts shit like this >>377623851 , always request them to post proof of their purchase from G2A and proof of G2A failing to provide a refund in case of a key getting revoked. There are a lot of butt-blasted anti-consumer shills who are mad that people are exercising their right to legally buy shit cheap and so they engage in false-flag posting (and just against G2A, but against key reseller market sites in general).

Picrelated is how cases look in G2A's resolution center. I have yet to see proof of even a single instance where G2A did not provide a refund to someone who got his key revoked.

So, OP, where the fuck is the proof that you're not an anti-consumer shill, hmm?

G2A is the best site for buying and selling 2nd hand CD keys and I couldn't recommend it enough.

>>377631739
It isn't. They will provide support to anyone who requests it, because they face chargebacks otherwise. It's illegal in most countries to have an "all sales final" policy on new goods anyway

It IS a right, you fucking shitstain. In actual non-third world shithole countries, consumer protection laws specifically ensure a buyer's right to resell the goods he buys, even if those goods are e-goods and this is exactly what happens when people trade on G2A.

This. Shield just gives you priority in case resolutions that require support involvement and live chat feature with their support, which basically means that you will get your money back faster, in case something goes wrong. You will still get your money back even if you don't buy shield, it's just that it might take a week or so, since the seller who sold you the key is given this time period to replace the key or refund you himself without the need of G2A support getting involved.

>>377633041

Nobody is asking you to do that, dumbfuck. Post proof of 1 (one) case where a refund was denied, regardless whether the shield was bought or not. Until you do so, you're only humiliating yourself with your retarded accusations.

Nobody is asking you to do that. Post a screenshot similar to >>377631830 where it says that the case has not been resolved in your favor. Do it, or shut your fucking mouth.

>>377633685

Why would I post personal info again?

>>377633824

You're asking me to post my account history - my personal information - while claiming that isn't personal information. Y'all have unrealistic expectations here.

>>377625396
>you have to buy extra fraud protection from a company that endorses fraud

>>377633921
The only unrealistic expectation is us believing your bullshit

>>377633965

Your asking me to post personal info aka you want me to dox myself.

So where's the proof?

Why did you ever choose to use G2A at all ever knowing this was an issue?

Chinamen literally don't give a fuck about fraud or any american regulations. If this happened in the US it would have been sued into the ground years ago

>>377634072
That's not how it works, sweetie. I'm not working for G2A, your transaction history gives me nothing, since it's data that I cannot garner from open sources.

woah the G2A shilling is off the charts in this thread.

>>377634072

No you fucking imbecile. Erase anything you deem appropriate from it but provide the proof.

>>377633921
>You're asking me to post my account history
You are retarded, there is no info in that screenshot that would help anyone but G2A staff identify you. In other words, you're a lying sack of shit, so you can fuck off, you've made a fool of yourself enough already.

>>377634183
>Erase anything you deem appropriate from it but provide the proof.

How do you prove that it's real then?
How do you prove it's validity?
You can't.
So I'll protect myself by never - ever - posting or divulging PERSONAL information to this site.
Ever.

Jokes on you fuckboy

>>377634543
except you can't commit fraud on steam like g2a allows you to.

So do we use G2A or do we not use G2A?

>>377634524
Okay, what kind of proof do you want and deem acceptable.

don't because they cash in on fraud

never had any issues without whatever is cheapest on allkeyshop, though if the price difference is only like $5 i just buy it off steam

>G2A have also announced that Microsoft has been working with them to remove fraudulently obtained keys, saying that “in June 2016 Microsoft approached G2A and supplied over 550 game codes that they believed were purchased on a third party site with stolen credit cards. G2A was able to assist in the identification of the keys and immediately remove them from auction. G2A has offered its full support to Microsoft and the authorities with reference to the ongoing case against the seller.”

Any publisher that actually works with them and isn't a "DELET THIS" tier retard get their things fixed just fine. The main problem with G2A will always be that they're legally making money and saving consumers money at the expense of the industry.

>>377634690

Who do they defraud?

>>377634520
>They don't just ignore scams and fraud like G2A does who knowingly embeds the fraud and allows it to happen
You are retarded. G2A has no way of knowing how the key that is being sold was acquired, because the devs refuse to cooperate with them. If someone scams people and gets reported, he gets banned and all of the money on his G2A account is locked, there's a reason you cannot withdraw money for a certain period of time from your G2A seller account.

In other words, you are just another mongoloid pulling retarded assumptions out of your ass.

>>377623974
Literally my whole country in 90s. No real publisher so only way to buy games was to buy pirated games.

Fuck off retard.

>>377635092
I thought this should be easy for you. You are retarded and have no argument. Pathetic.

how do you even tell?

i have hundreds of games on steam, probably bought a hundred from g2a and never noticed any issues

>all these corporate dickriders defending publishers

Why? What the fuck did they do for you to earn your loyalty? Was it the microtransactions? The always-online DRM? The intrusive DRM? The slave-hours they force on their developers?

What is it these publishers did to gain your loyalty?

>>377635410
Steam will give you an error message that the product has been revoked. It will no longer be in your library

This never happens, people just use it as an excuse to bash G2A because second hand sales are bad mmkay

>>377635137
Fuck off, retard. Really, when I asked you for proof, I did not do it for my personal interest, because I have personal experience dealing with G2A and know how they work and that they don't fuck over their customers. I asked you for proof, because I wanted to show everyone that you're a lying sack of shit, and lo and behold, you've actually proven to be one.

You've already embarrassed yourself enough, now go neck yourself quietly.

>>377635137

>>377635623
>>377635687
Sorry, you're still retarded. Prove that you're not retarded, then I will consider proving my point.

>indie twats bashing G2A because somehow valid keys are being registered without paying for them

Individually approving each key would solve this issue.

>>377631217
>>377630804
you can see a rating on everyone you buy from, and everyone i buy from is 99%, and not everyone even votes, so its probably more like 999/1000 or more since people are more likely to downvote if something goes wrong than they are to upvote for it just not being a scam

>>377635724
Fuck off retard

Just ignore the retard, he's totally ass-blasted.

>>377635623

THEN YOU DID DO IT FOR YOUR PERSONAL INTEREST YOU MORON

>>377635793
I will only fuck off when you prove that you're not retarded.

>>377635763
A key is only valid because it was issued by the developer/publisher at some point.

Resellers aren't generating keys. They are keys that were created by the game publisher and sold by the game publisher

>>377635918

so wtf is the problem with G2A?
no one answers this

>>377623851
Hello totalbiscuit

>>377636008
There hasn't been proof from a single side, the only getting BTFO is your sorry ass

>>377635985
There isn't one
It's fearmongering because publishers want you to buy from steam, not 2nd hand sites where the sales have already happened and they don't make money from the same sale twice

>>377635985
>so wtf is the problem with G2A?
It makes publishers mad, because people get games cheaper. That's literally it. Every piece of disinformation spouted against G2A or key reseller markets in general is the result of this utter anal devastation, because the corporate cucks are losing real, tangible money.

>>377636076
Burden of proof is on the one making the claim, you're just throwing out petty insults because you got ass ravaged. Not even the guy you were arguing with chum

>>377636202

>>377636947
>Is cdkeys.com legit?

See >>377631150. If you're fine with giving away your personal details that can be potentially used for identity fraud, go ahead and buy from them.

>>377636947
You can always file a claim with paypal or your credit card

It's really hard to scam people these days unless you sell them something and make them think they need it when they don't (ie video games)

But it's the truth, there are shitloads of complaints against CDkeys on allkeyshop, you can chek it yourself. If they didn't ask you to send them a photo of your passport, it doesn't mean they haven't asked other people and giving away passport details carelessly can result in identity fraud cases.

so g2a support got back to me, and kudos to them for being open on a saturday since EA's webchat service seems to be the only way to contact them and it's down.

at this point I can cut my losses of about $50 and rebuy all the xpacs when they (hopefully) go on sale at the next steam sale and sever my last point of contact with this shitty EA origin.

or I can pursue the matter until monday-tuesday, get word from EA and see if G2A follows up. However that would mean I'm still stuck using Origin which at this point, I'm more angry at EA for having shitty support than for getting a one year old cd key revoked.

What kind of progress do you want to be made, LMAO? Retarded corporate shills come on /v/ and spout baseless nonsense, people tell them to either post proof or fuck off, shills spout more nonsense and fuck off eventually after being humiliated. Innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

>>377623851
My brother bought some dlc for guild wars 2 like an idiot from G2A instead of from the superior cdkeys and it got revoked. He then bought the dlc from cdkeys and lost no progress

>>377637879
>What kind of progress do you want to be made, LMAO?

You don't see the issue of retards spouting the same nonsense back and forth to no end?

Fuck I'm glad I grew out of gaming. You people are getting dumber with each generation.

>Innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.
And it's a two way street: Pro G2A and Against G2A. The amazing thing is you think your stance is correct but never substantiate it; you wait for someone else to disprove you. Hilarious you live in a world where you can recite textbook fallacies and call it a day. You'll never learn, you'll never mature. You'll always be subpar.

Of course it's fucking correct, you imbecile. You don't accuse anyone of doing something without backing your bullshit with actual facts.

Do you get a message saying ur keys got revoken or they just dissappear from your steam lybrarie. Cus i got like 300 games and there is no way i would see a game getting removed if there is no notification

>>377638894
>dude jesus is real prove me wrong

>>377639013
On Steam, you get a message. Also, if a game gets revoked on Steam, it doesn't disappear from your library, you just need to rebuy it in order to play it again.

>>377639063
burden of proof is on the one making the claim, this is basic shit anon

>>377639013

You'd get an email if there's a change to your steam account since it's in the EULA/ToS they will notify you in the event of any change.

I have never had this happen. I get all my games from Gog so it won't happen, either.

By the way: there are free games there at random and there's a sale every week. I haven't needed to pirate in a long, long time.

Alternatively your credit card company will easily just chargeback. Debit? Goodluck :^)

>>377640703
Actually, after reading the reviews on both sites it seems the same issues are mentions in either place. They will ask for your phone number and call you the first time you buy anything. And if you are from india/russia etc they will ask for pictures.

>>377640703

People who're careless with CD keys wouldn't buy fake reviews. Nah.

I buy cheap stuff off there every once in awhile. It can be good for games that you can't actually buy on Steam anymore, like the original Prey, or Wolfenstein 2009. I've never had a key get revoked.
