so i am looking to purchase Witcher 3 on PC and i see on G2A there is a seller selling it for 30 bucks, i am wondering if there is any risk from buying from this website ( do i need to get G2A shield?) , and when i go to checkout there is the G2A PAY and normal paying. What is G2A pay? i see if i use it i dont need to pay for the PAYMENT FEE of 2 dollars. and let me know if you guys use g2a often

No risk, I've bought a couple times from there and have had no issues. Maybe I'm just lucky.

It's a great site to buy games off their for cheap, I'd highly recommend it, I've bought a majority of my games/memberships/steam wallets/antivirus, and more on there, and never had a problem with them at all, Been quick and reliable all the time.

 

Great prices, I would get G2A Shield just incase, but pick the top seller and you're usually fine without it.

I somewhat trust the direct purchase from the site itself, but from the other sellers there, I don't. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

I got the new Batman game off there a few days ago for £13... No issues, steam accepted the key and it was a total bargain.

When you buy on a site like G2A, you might as well crack the game.

13 bucks for a broken game?  Noice.

Hardly broken if you play it on a powerful rig. I was playing at 60 FPS throughout the majority of the game with a few exceptions when it dipped to 40 when I was driving very fast around Arkham.

Why? Thats like saying "Well the game is dirt cheap on Steam, may as well just pirate it instead" How about you help the developers and purchase it instead, most of the games on G2A are the price of a cup of coffee and a sandwich.

i thought Batman was taken off the store and you couldn't play it until it was fixed

Not if you buy it off G2A.
