well g2a doesn't sell the games, people have keys and sell them on the sight.  I have bought over 10 games from their site, and I haven't been dissapointed.  basically you pay(i wouldn't recommend using g2a shield, look for the option as you checkout because it is already selected for you, make sure to untick that box, it just makes the process takes longer, I have never regretted it) and then within 5 minutes ur game key is revealed.

I have bought many games and even a copy of windows from them. I was happy with every purchase made. As for them getting everything at such a low price i imagine it is because they buy everything in huge quantities thus a lower price tag for them.

I don't think the concept of "quantities" applies when it's a digital game download   Don't you think Steam "buys in large quantities" as well?

For Steam game's the majority come from:

• CD Keys (Sold In Retail)
• Bundles (Humble for Example)
• Obtained thru illegitimate methods (Reviewer Keys)

Number of licenses... applies to anything. Do you know how life works? Buy more an... you know what I am not even gonna waste my time.

Ok lets say it's that simple.  Buy a ton more and get a volume discount.  Their prices are usually how much lower than Steam?  And let's say it's linear, so you know, buy twice as many, get them for half off.  Unless it's not that "powerful", so buy twice as many and get only 30% off or something like that.  So you're telling me g2a is buying that many times more copies of things than major game distribution places like Steam/Valve?  Really?  That's a little hard to believe.

I think it is more on purchasing it during offer times + people selling them to G2A

Things like games, fine. Even if you get ripped off, you can use their 'shield service' however unreliable it can be.

 

For Windows licenses, no. Microsoft will blow the fan one day and you will get caught. My friend had his G2A license ripped away from him from Microsoft and he was lucky that he saved himself from going to court.

I've bought multiple windows licenses with no issues

They buy the keys at a massive bulk (Like 300+ keys) for REALLY cheap and can still sell them at a slight profit.

I rather pay the extra because there are some poeple on the forum who didnt opt for shield and their keys didnt work.

It's a gray market.

G2A is completely safe. Anyone who says they didn't get their game just wasn't careful enough. They probably clicked on the cheapest offer without actually looking at the seller. I always buy my codes from the person that has the highest rating. If no one is at 100% then I'll go the next highest. The G2A insurance is a very good idea. People say you have to per month to use it when you don't. There's a 30-day trial before you can decide to use it or not. And you don't have to pay per month, you can pay per game. If you buy 3 or 4 games per month, then I definitely recommend using it per month, but if you are someone like me who only buys 3 or 4 games every 3 months or every year, then you should be using the per game option. People say that you shouldn't have to use the G2A shield, that G2A should cover it for free if you have a problem. G2A is like Ebay for digital games. It is simply a marketplace for people to buy cheap games. Ebay does the same thing, if you spend a little more on insurance and your item is broken you get a full refund thanks to insurance. 9 times our of 10 your item will work but sometimes you don't get what you paid for, or anything at all. I have never had a problem with G2A, so I can't say anything about customer support. But, I assume it is also good. Anyone who says G2A is just a cheating scam site is either lying or didn't actually go to G2A.com, they might of gone to a different site that looks the same and has a similar name.
