Seems cool, it works, but looks and seems a bit sketchy (not in terms of for the customer, but for the game dev)

I have always purchased games off G2A and never had any problems, keys only take 2min. If you are nervous you can always use their G2A shield. Good prices.

Their scummy advertisement schemes back in the day put me off from buying there. I checked it out once or twice but it was pretty meh IMO so I haven't bothered with it since.

I'm not a big fan of it. I know the chances of being screwed are small, but the possibility is clearly there with a couple of high-profile issues in the past. Frankly if I feel a game is worth my money, I don't want to circumvent the system. I want the developer and publisher to get their fair cut for my region. A line exists between G2A and actual piracy, but I personally think it's razor-thin.

It's like ebay, look at who you're buying from and if it's too good to be true it probably is.

It's fine, I've bought only Torchlight 2 from there though - without G2A shield. Look for sellers with a lot of high rating and it should be ok.

Buy from the website itself, don't buy from third party sellers, even if they're from the same country/region as you.  You're just asking for a headache.

I love it and have never had a problem with it, but I do get the shield when i buy from a user.  Generally buying from someone with high ratings should be low risk

I honestly don't do it for companies that are already reasonable with their pricing and regional pricing and the opposite if they're taking advantage of it: surprisingly for example Konami priced MGS V at 30 USD at launch with the regional pricing vs WB pricing Mad Max at 60 and Activision pricing games upwards of 75 to 80 USD with regional pricing.

 

So if the price it's fair already, I won't go out of my way for like a rock bottom price but if they're price gauging people I won't hesitate to get a 40 bucks game for 4 bucks, though honestly I actually end up supporting the other games so I haven't really bought anything way overpriced in regional pricing as of yet.

Never had any issues with them, nor their third-party sellers. 

Don't buy the G2A shield, it's basically a waste of money
