G2A keys?

[spyder]

So I am currently shopping around for some games, obviously without the steam sale, prices even for older games are a blatant rip off therefore I had checked the website g2a. I see steam keys going for cheap so I am wondering if this website is legit because I don't want to buy a key for a steam game and find it doesn't work or becomes blocked in the future (is that even possible?) 

 

Need some feedback from the community here on this subject. 

 

Example: G2a GTA IV steam global key price = £4.97 

Current steam price = £19.99

Savings: £15.02

its a grey area, no 100% guarantee the key is legal, works or is not stolen

 

However plenty of people use the site and 99% of the time its fine

The site is legit. But there is not a 100% guarantee that the keys will work, so you have to take a risk. G2A pays you back/gives you a new key if you have been scammed and have G2A Shield on.

Guess I will have to take the risk.

I might include g2a shield then to be on the safe side, some of the sellers have 100% feedback from alot of users and have cheap prices for steam keys, may consider going with them.

Over 50 keys bought and only 1 problem which was fixed by support in under a day.

 

Plz don't listen to these people who haven't used it, know from experience

 

P.S I have never used G2A Shield either

Bear in mind that not all of the keys are sold by G2A. A lot of them are third parties. There's no guarantee that the key will work. but if you use their protection service (costs a little extra) then you can get a replacement key if the first one doesn't work.

We get so many g2a questions I feel like we need a g2a sticky.

i've bought most of the games i have trough g2a and not a single problem so far

i also don't use g2a shield

and you have to know that the site is a marketplace, not a store

they sell some of the keys on their own, but most of it are just other people selling their keys and each seller has a rating of how trusted he/she is

so i'd suggest to buy it from people with high ratings and you'll be fine

Many people seem to have problems with this site and some companies even blocked keys that were bought on it. I'd say avoid it.

Yeah, I just bought two keys today, worked perfectly, haven't used G2A shield either.

Bear in mind that not all of the keys are sold by G2A. A lot of them are third parties. There's no guarantee that the key will work. but if you use their protection service (costs a little extra) then you can get a replacement key if the first one doesn't work. 

The keys I bought are from third party and they work just fine without the protection service, I looked at their feedback score (100%)

Yes, I only went for the sellers with high feedback.

Some game keys have been blocked due to them being stolen but I carefully have been paying attention to the prices and feedback to ensure I don't end up being scammed.

ive bought call of duty AW, COD Black ops 2, BF4, BFH, watchdogs, and bioshock from there just make sure g2a shield is included and look for promo codes online itll discout about a dollar which is what g2a shield is ive also payed with credit card and not payapal but i recomend using paypal since you get charged about 1 dollar for the credit card option. ive risked not getting g2A shield with watchdogs since it was just 3 buck and i still got a legit key. soo.... i confirm that g2a is safe and you can trust it just make sure what region the game can be played and youre set

Used G2A all the time for the latest AAA releases with no problem.  I do not even use G2A Shield because I always get it from highly ranked sellers.

I've only used G2A once and it was for a Windows 8.1 key. I didn't end up using it when I bought it a year ago and gave it to a friend. Unfortunately, when it was activated, it was blacklisted by Microsoft. Luckily I bought the shield protection thing and was refunded.

Works fine for me and many others.

Could you imagine if LTT actually went ahead and did the G2A sponsor spot on their videos that they were asking about awhile back? It would be even worse.

I don't think LTT should support them, just have an FAQ sticky. every day there's a few questions.
