I'm lookng to buy GTA on G2A gaming, but i have a few questions

 

 

how reliable is the g2a shield?  Is there any loop holes?

 

Is it ok if I buy from someone NOT in my country (As long as English language is available) if it is a steam key?

 

If I buy a rockstar key, how will installing the game work?

Main PC: 4690k // Z97 // R9 280 3GB // 8gb Ram // CM Elite 430 Case // 750 EVGA B PSU // 1TB HDD

 

Living Room "Console" PC: FX 8350 // 990a SLI Krait // R7 360 // 8gb Ram // HAF 912 // 750 EVGA B PSU // 1TB HDD

 

Future Plans:

find a 2nd monitor at a pawn shop

Sell/giveaway R7 360, move r9 280 into console PC, buy a better GPU for main PC.

G2A is the world of Steam Sales 24/7, unless there's an actual Steam Sale - in that case, G2A's a sore looser majority of the time. Always use G2A shield, never buy from those that don't have it. Fake keys have been a thing in the past, and G2A shield means they'll give you another key if it is a fake.

what crowes said, also you need to make sure the key is either available in your country specifically or a global key 

Ok so as long as it is global then im fine right?

 

And if I don't buy a steam key (its about $10 cheaper not to) is there instructions on how to install and get the game ?

If you choose to go for the gift option, you'll be given a link to the gift and it'll give you a window in either Steam web or client that is like someone actually sent you a gift; you can accept it as usual. Still, if it doesn't have G2A shield, don't.

Well shield is good but if you're spending $2.00 its hardly worth it. 

 

 

And G2A is great until you have use their email/ticket support system then you might as well give up on whatever you were trying to accomplish.

Debatable. If a game on Steam is $20, but $10 on G2A, even with that $2 shield, I still payed $8 less and still got a definite key.

Yes I would do that as well but, I mean a $2 (like payday DLC) item on G2A and then adding shield is just about pointless, at that point I would take the risk of it being fake.

Oh, that's what you meant, agreed! G2A is completely useless for anything under $5. I only use it for full games, never DLC. DLC is something I get from humble bundles or in Steam Sales only*.

 

*Some of the sales have DLC for about 90% of the RRP and surpasses G2A.
