Do you not ever see those threads where people post their Steam games being revoked due to fraudulent keys from this place?

>>381401951
my favorites are the "I was wrongfully banned" posts.

>>381401558
Yes. They are.

pirate them if you don't plan to get them from a legit keyseller.

I've never had any issues with them, and I refuse to pay for their extra jew shield. Granted, I've only purchased maybe 5 games, but I've always gotten my shit instantly without any problem and none of my keys are blacklisted.

If I spent under $10 would it be a big risk?

>>381402307
I guess there is always technically a risk, but as long as you buy from someone with good rating you should be fine. If it's an astronomically low price from a new seller, obviously that should raise some red flags.

>>381401558
There are so many reports of banned accounts, invalid keys, and overall shady deals from this place that you'd have to be retarded to use it.

Honestly, you are better off pirating if you are poor. I'm sure the devs would even prefer if you did that instead of using G2A.

>1% of games get revoked
>still saved a ton of money
The closest thing to an issue I've had with G2A after maybe 20 purchases is one key being sold out between when I bought it and when it processed. Got refunded with a (admittedly shitty) discount of my next purchase. I thought their customer service would be complete garbage but it was surprisingly better than I'm used to.

My advice is to avoid G2A unless the game is half the regular price. Partially due to trustworthiness and the cost/benefit of maybe getting screwed but also because of their fee and shield if you are making a big purchase. Also it's better to support services with better practices as well as the creators, and avoid supporting the individual sellers who are often shady.

>>381402206
same experience here. it just werks.

if you use paypal they jew you with an extra fee so its better to get as many games into one purchase as possible if you're looking at more than one thing.

>>381402307
Not him but you can never know. I bought a shit ton from g2a kinguin... Only got scammed once buying DCS keys way under their price. Like 10$ for something that was worth 50.

They blacklisted my keys 3-4 months after purchase, so my rule of thumb would be that If something looks to good to be true then there´s something fishy going on. Don´t think that because they sent you the key immediately you are out of danger.

>>381401558

Get a trusted seller. It's not that fuckin hard.

Retard.

>>381401558
G2A are a marketplace. They're trustworthy, their users may or may not be. I've bought a bunch of stuff from there and had no issues, but what seems to happen is that sellers will offload stolen keys/keys bought with stolen credit cards etc and very occasionally keys may be revoked. Never happened to me or anyone I know but it happens

Eh, they're in a grey spot in the market. It's really easy to game the system, but if you use trusted sellers, you're fine. Basically if you're not actually braindead you shouldn't have a problem with G2A. However, with steam sales being as frequent as they are, you can often just wait to get the games directly during a sale, if the price is why you're using g2a.

>>381401951
>Steam games being revoked

>>381401558
It works fine, G2A is more regulated between steam then it was when it first started. No worrying but always get shield incase you get fucked and don't get a key that has happened to me.

>>381403163
>NuPrey for 30
My dude, that's more than I paid for it at CD Keys, which is slightly more reputable. I guess it's basically the same grey market shit though.

>>381402530

>>381401558

From what I've seen, and thus limited experience, it seems you barely save any money shopping there. Might as well wait for a Steam sale to avoid any hassle.

>>381402307
No.

Use your head. Treat G2A like ebay. If the seller has high ratings (and a large amount of them), then you're obviously not going to have much to worry about. However, DO stay away from doing the following:
>buying steam gifts (you can potentially get your steam account banned for this)
>buying relatively new games (if a game has just released, then there's a likelier chance the key you bought will be revoked from your library)
>buying from sellers with low ratings or a low amount of ratings (for obvious reasons)
>using their insurance shit (it's unnecessary if you buy from the right sellers)
People like to shit on G2A a lot, but I've never really had a problem with them as long as I stuck to avoiding the above points. I did once have an issue where the key I bought was already used, but I just emailed the seller about it and he gave me a working one within the hour (again, benefits of using a highly rated seller).

if G2A has a better deal than whatever the extension shows you, then go with G2A, otherwise go with wherever the extension shows. a few times I've found stuff even cheaper than it was on G2A

don't listen to people spouting nonsense about G2A, it's not your problem if people don't make money, revoked keys is rare and G2A is better than pirating because you can play multiplayer

LMAO, Valve doesn't give a fuck about where your games come from, you need to learn how to lie in a more believable manner. Also, there is no such thing as a "fraudulent key", you fucking retard. There are keys bought from those, who acquired them in a fraudulent manner and Valve would get eaten alive for banning people who were victims of fraud - the people who actually bought those keys from fraudsters and activated them on Steam.

>>381404508
Makes sense. In that case just open a dispute with your credit card company against g2a and get refunded.

>>381401558

>1 million keys sold

It's fine. Just like eBay don't be an idiot about it and you won't get scammed.

>>381403712
>one guy posted a thread here his 5 dollar dlc from an indie trash game got revoked
To be honest, keys bought on G2A DO get ervoked from time to time, because G2A cannot control the manner in which they were acquired, so some of them ARE bought via stolen CC info, but that's not a problem, since G2A just gives you a refund in this case. A problem would arise if G2A refused to give people refunds, which is something that doesn't happen. I've had 2 keys worth about 30 bux revoked and got refunds in both cases, so I don't give a fuck.

>>381406079
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I used to think the same way and said "it never happened to me before, so it must never happen to anyone EVER".

Reality hit one day and here we are. Steam can and WILL ban people who use fraudulent keys, maybe not the first day, week, or month you use it, but in due time, sadly, it will happen.

As I said, do what you will, I was just giving my two cents based on my own personal experience.

Glad to hear you have not been banned yet, anon, but keep in mind that not everyone is as lucky as you.

>>381406179
>open a dispute with your credit card company against g2a
You don't even need to do that, you just open a dispute in the G2A resolution center and they'll refund you themselves.

>>381401558
My entire library is from G2A and Kinguin. Not a single key revoked, not a single ban, etc. There is literally nothing wrong with grey key sites. Not to mention there is no such thing as "fraudulent keys". Jesus Christ, can you retards even think logically for a second? On second thought nevermind, yes OP. They will call the cyber police on you and will take you cyber prison. Stay away and keep buying games that you don't get to own for full price.

That's true, but there is something wrong with fencing stolen goods which these sites are more than happy to do.

>>381406385
valve literally only bans accounts outright if you commit credit card fraud yourself on your account. any "fraudulent" keys are simply removed from your account by automation. stop posting the same boogeyman shit that has been going around for 5 years.

Prove it. Right now. Prove EVERY SINGLE KEY has been stolen as you are implying, how about 50%? 25%? Oh yeah, you can't.
>inb4 I NEVER SAID THOSE EXACT WORDS, I WAS ONLY PRETENDING, etc.

If your keys bought off g2a ever get revoked on Steam, Steam provides you with a message stating that a key has been recalled. Screenshot that message, then go to the G2A resolution center and open a dispute, stating when you bought the game and when it was revoked and attach the revocation message from Steam as proof. You'll get your refund even if you didn't buy their shield service.

>>381407139

Are you seriously denying that keys sold on those sites have been acquired via nefarious means like stolen credit cards and hacking or are you just pretending to be retarded?

>Go on site
>Look at offers which have high amounts of positive reviews
>Make sure to uncheck their shitty shield service to save more
>Buy and enjoy your cheaper vidya

I've yet to have one game taken away from me.

I've also used other "grey market" sites before with no issues either, like Kinguin and CDKeys. No issues at all.

Again, just make sure the offer you're buying from has high amounts of positive reviews. Also make sure it's not a RUS key (unless you're a Russian obviously).

There are no chargeback fees for anyone with half a brain, i.e. the devs and publishers like Microsoft cooperating with G2A to take down keys bought via CC fraud. The chargeback fees are incurred only by anti-consumer scumbags who refuse to cooperate with G2A so they can fuck off, they deserve everything they get.

Remember: reselling goods you bought, including e-goods is a consumer right and this is the reason G2A can operate with impunity, since its operation is well within the boundaries of the law. If anyone criticizes G2A or similar sites, they are anti-consumer shillbags trying to deny you your consumer right to buy from other people reselling their bought shit, not publishers.

I bought a Xbox Live gift card from them a few months back. I entered the key the moment I received it, but key was already used.

The key was used a day prior to when I purchased it, sent proof to the seller, and his response was, "That proof is fake. I will not refund you."

Granted I never had issues prior to this, but it was enough for me to stop using them for good.

Even the devs would prefer it if you just pirated their game. You're giving money to literal russians thieves when it's probably safer to simply torrent the game.

Most of my steam inventory is from them and i've had my acc for seven years. Never lost a game. I'd, say theyre pretty good.

I'm late to the party, but I have been using G2A for ages now. Probably bought like 30 games off them, enough for me to pay 2 euros a month for their shield thing, and not care about cancelling it.

I've had about 4 keys not work, and always gotten either a refund or better keys after about five minutes on their livechat. They seem legit enough to me. Never had any keys revoked before, or any games taken off steam, but maybe i've gotten lucky.

>Do you not know how chargebacks work?
The point is that only devs refusing to cooperate with G2A get hit by chargebacks, because G2A is unable to identify the method in which a CD key, that is being sold on their site, was bought. It might have been bought via CC fraud, it might have been not, there is no physical way for G2A to make sure, since the key was bought from the dev/publisher, not from them. The only way to effectively fight such cases of these CD keys being sold on G2A is for the devs/publishers to cooperate with G2A, but barely anyone apart from microsoft wants to. Those who refuse to cooperate with G2A are committing anti-consumer practices, because they are trying to hinder G2A's operation as a marketplace where people can resell their bought keys, which is a consumer right. Devs and publishers that do this deserve all the chargebacks they get.

Ok Ivan

Just pirate.
Fuck Steam and digital only and anyone that pays for it.
Games should only be released physically with the entire game on the discs.

I have a hell of a problem buying from key sites because i'm living in China and they think i'm a scammer. They reject my payments, or constantly ask me to verify with my bank details and shit because they think I might be using stolen info.

Steam doesn't give a fuck, by the way.

>>381402307

I've sold a few keys on G2A, myself. As a reviewer, they often give me 5 or so codes for games, and we only use 2 at the most.

Too bad I'm still stuck in a 3rd world shithole

I got burned on a Mankind Divided key from G2A

>>381413826
what happened? I refunded it when found out it wasn't a day one edition but a simple key pre-order. I had shield though.

>>381414072

Seller sent me a dud key, g2a's support is fucking horrendous so I just got paypal to refund me.

>>381414129
>g2a's support is fucking horrendous
Elaborate on this. Did you open a dispute in the resolution center? Did you provide a screenshot of your Steam key revocation message?

>>381414270

Steam didn't revoke it, it was a used key. What do you work for g2a or something?

>>381414270
Not him, but i once wrote to support because a payment went through but the site said it didn't. So i paid money for the game i didn't receive. It took me a week to get the darn key, and they kept feeding me with generic messages until i finally exploded and started threatening them. Out of a sudden i got my key the next day.

Those chinks will do their job only if you hit them with a stick.

>>381414367
>Steam didn't revoke it, it was a used key.
Did you file a dispute at the resolution center? Do you have any proof of what you are saying or are you another false-flagging anti-consumer shill trying to start shit?

>What do you work for g2a or something?
No, I'm actually someone who buys from them all the time and even got a couple of keys revoked, yet I got my refunds in all cases. If you did not get yours, you're either lying, or you did something horribly wrong. Now, which is it?

But you actually work for them right, why would you get this defensive about a scummy key reseller otherwise?

>>381415225

Not that guy, but G2A gets shit on a lot on /v/ because their favourite youtuber said so.

Undeservedly, in my opinion. I've gotten lots of games from them, no problem, and some which gave invalid keys, sorted out easily on their livechat.

never had problems with them. recently bought a MS office 2016 copy that I couldn't activate. "too many activations for this license". Tried it again a couple of days later and it worked. Def. some shady shit going on but as long as it works on my machine at the end, s'all good man

>>381415225
Not him but /v/ is full of doing it for free developer shills and children that believe everything youtubers say, which is why people go out of the way to talk fact about G2A.

Just like everything else with online shopping, you just choose a trusted seller. Pretty straightforward

>>381415225
So no actual proof, only baseless accusations and a complete lack of understanding how G2A operates, indicating you've never even used the site? OK, Mr. shill.

>>381415990

>>381401558
Except for hidden costs (add 30% to the initial price) they're fine.

But still additional fees are fucking retarded and make their "promotions" not so tempting as you thought at start.

poorfags are better served with just jumping off a cliff.

If desperate, just pirate - you're not helping devs/publishers with buying a stolen key

yes, those witcher 3 codes were conjured from the 16th dimension via an eldritch ritual which involved sacrificing dipshits like you.

honestly, where do you think those keys came from? even if some russian mobster bought keys somewhere off another distributor in fucking bulk, don't you think an actual distributor wouldn't a) have the fraud protection/insurance in place and b) would have the means to blacklist those keys? not to mention how the distributor got those keys in the first place (protip: he bought them from CDPR or another source which already paid them).

>>381416816

Only negative things that have happened was a mortal kombat key that got revoked but that was whatever.
And then I went full retard and tried to buy a black ops 3 key that was way too cheap to be true, turned out it was but the support gave me my money back.

No, CDkeys hold your bought game keys hostage until you send them a photo of your passport. You pay for a key on their site, then they send you an e-mail stating that, unless you send them your passport photo, you're not going to see your key.

>>381401558
Haven't had a problem with the few I've bought.

Would avoid the G2A shield thing, it's a recurring payment that you can only cancel on the last day. Buy from the big sellers and your key will be fine.

Sure they do, kiddo, sure they do. Hat's why they request the photos only after you send them the money. I'm sure the Saudis - the world's biggest supporter of terrorism, care about security and will in no way use that info to commit identity fraud.

>>381417039

I've bought a bunch of games from G2A, and I've only had a problem with 2. One key couldn't be activated in my country, which was odd because the key was listed as global and I live in the only country that matters, the US. My money was refunded. The second time the key was already used, they sent me a new one in less than an hour. I've never bought Jew2A shield, either.

Why is this board so fucking retarded
Nobody is saying that you shouldn't buy from legit key resellers, all they do is buy keys in poorer countries and resell them, using the buying power leverage fto offer a discount
But people are shittalking G2A because it's an open marketplace, which allows for fun things like people selling keys acquired with stolen CC info, which fucks over the user and dev both
Buy from trusted sellers, which operate just like keysites, or directly from the keysites and you're fine

>>381417709

replicators use resources, though.

>>381417751
game copies use hardware space, too

>>381417681

also incorrect, because physical goods traded globally are checked at docks.

your argument boils down to "they're digital, who cares if they're stolen" to which i'd respond "just pirate it you fucking retard," because polish jews don't deserve money for what they do (act as a fence for stolen goods)

>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.”

also, see >>381418319 that shit was nothing more than a stunt, no company would've agreed to those ultimatums, especially not in that timeframe

yes, because all keys are stolen, right? the only retard is someone buying from a guy with single digit reviews, half of them negative "b-but it's the cheapest!!!1".

>>381401558
Just pirate then, for fucks sake
>I'm poor but I waste money to bloat muh steam account!!1

I've bought a bunch of keys from there for prices you'd never find anywhere else and all of them worked. Three of them have been revoked after a few months, but then I just filed it on their website - two times the seller gave me back my money. The third time, when the seller didn't respond to my complaint after a week, G2A gave me back my money themself. Maybe it's just me, but with my experience in mind, I can't help but feel people are on some sort of scare campaign against this site.

>>381418552
g2a isn't even always the cheapest, there are plenty other shops with better prices (even official resellers like gamesplanet or gmg).

however if you want to buy some bundle leftovers or really old stuff it's usually cheaper, and g2a is one of the few platforms running one, only other options is trading directly with some random guy you met in a gift thread (and good luck if you get ripped off in that case)

>>381419074
>g2a isn't even always the cheapest
This is wrong. G2A isn't he cheapest option for games at launch, because it's a marketplace where regular people are the ones usually doing the trading, but as time goes on, the deals get better, because people get desperate to get rid of their unwanted keys, so they start to decrease prices. In the end, G2A always has the best prices, unless you buy games on launch.

>>381418654
Tax is a separate thing. When I pay for something on steam via paypal I pay exactly what I see.
Here it's "promotion! weekly deal! a game is for 10€!" when you go to checkout it's suddenly 14€ (without shield) with tax and paypal fee.
That's why I hate G2A and rarely buy anything there.

>>381401951
Man I love unsourced claims from reddit about all the games being bought from stolen credit cards and appeals to emotion like "think of the poor developer :("

A legitimate grievance would be accidentally subscribing to SHIELD or whatever it is called. It has a hidden monthly fee and unsubscribing is comically tedious and stupid. Avoid that and the gold program they have and you are golden. Only buy from them if the deal is acceptionally good, not one or two dollars off.
