Is G2A Reliable?

[DiegoWithLag]

I mean like, will you ever get scammed on G2A for buying a game at ultra discount?

[Lays]

Spent loads of money there for like 20+ games, never had a single issue.

[Mug]

I had a mate who lost money but most of the time it's good

[Fluxx]

It seems to of gotten a lot better now then what it used to be, I know several people including myself who have brought games off there without any issues.

It's an "official" reseller/retailer site so there aren't any worries

 

It's improved over the months 

[Naijin]

I buy all my games on G2A, they're cheap and great service. If there is a problem, you can get into a chat with the support almost instantly, and they will either give you a new key, or provide your money back.

Use 'G2A shield' and you're guaranteed a legitimate key.

[VolkA]

Used to be not so good. But it's getting better now. Basically, it's pretty safe to buy there now.

[Wano97]

Yeah the website's safe. I don't even bother spending an Euro on the G2A shield anymore because I have never had any issues.

^ this I had an ARK key that got revoked and within about a day I got given the option of a refund or a new key.

Thanx

i couldnt even finish the first level of commando 2

Get their insurance thing they offer,"shield" i believe its not much and probably worth.  

[VortexS]

Everything I bought on there worked, but don't buy Uplay keys there. My Trials Fusion key got banned and other games like Far Cry 4 also often get banned.

@DiegoWithLag 

Ha!  Ya -- G2A Shield is you paying them to not scam you. There are no if's, and's, or but's about it. That's exactly what it is. 

 

Why would you trust some one that charges you extra to give you what you paid for? 

 

Whether or not the site "works," have some dignity and morals and find a less-shady seller. 

[killcomic]

I've been buying games from them for about a year. I've only had one problem once and their support team sorted it out. 

Good place to buy games IMO.

Where do you get that its official? I thought that G2A was an unauthorized seller?

I would say use at own risk, it seems 90% of the time its ok, but you can have issues, SO FAR it seems G2A are happy to just give you new codes should an issue happen

 

But I would still err on the side of caution

I put quotation marks because that's how some people brand it as even though it's unauthorized

It's just that it's one of the most reliable (which is true but it doesn't mean it's completely safe)

I still think they're reliable though, but buying requires you to proceed with caution

They've improved over the months like I've said, but not completely

One of the most reliable.. unofficial key sellers, maybe but not as reliable as buying from Steam, GMG etc where they are 100% officially supported keys 

I wont even discuss the moral side of G2A as I see it from both sides (Ie.. one hand = free market, other hand = more money for devs and platforms)

but yeah reliable and trust worthy are hard words to describe it.. I would say, its generally ok, use at own risk if you need a bargain

 

 

I actually created a G2A goldmine account, I was going to promote it as support for my YouTube channel, but I cannot morally guide people to buy from that store.. 

[leelaa14]

My entire steam library is pretty much all from G2A. So for me, it is yes.

[nuttysandwich]

I'm in the US and a lot of the keys say "global" and i don't see the US in one of the none working locations, should i buy it?
