Should I buy G2A shield with the game I want to purchase?

Well it depends. If you buy a cheap game then no, but if you buy a full priced game then yes. Also if the seller have overwhelming positive reviews i'ts safe.

Hello all, this is my first post on the LTT forums, but I have one simple question: Should I buy the G2A shield along with the game I want to purchase? I'm fine with spending the extra $1 or whatever it is, but I'm not entirely fond of the fact that you have to install a remote connection on your PC and they have to watch you enter the key. This is mostly because of the fact that it takes more time to do that, but I don't really like someone I don't know remotely connecting to my PC.

Oh yeah, I should also mention the person I'm buying from has 168500 reviews total, and 167484 of which are positive. There are 381 neutral and 631 negative reviews as well. It seems as though the person is pretty reliable, so should I skip the shield and hope for the best?

Thanks,

     Manchu :)

Edit: Changed title. It sounded stupid before :D

I read somewhere else on the LTT forums and I could've sworn they said you get a little file you have to install after you buy the shield. Maybe they've changed it. I probably should've looked at the date.
