Should I trust G2A?

[KacperS]

I really want to preorder the new need for speed for just 31 pounds but i don't know if i can trust it because i never used it before some of my friends tell me it's great and some tell me to never buy from there nut i dont want to pay 50 pounds for a game on origin so telling your view/opinion would be apprieciated.

 

Thanks

Never had a problem, spent hundreds of USD there.  But just make sure you pay for the G2A shield thing as a "backup plan"

 

Also buy from the sellers that have more ratings/sales, even if it's a few extra cents.

I will remember that thanks buddy

I've used them multiple times. I would use their "shield" thing which ensures you get a working code, though. I've had one or two codes that didn't work, but got a new one from using their shield thing. 

Also, I wouldn't really advise pre-ordering. Wait for reviews to see if the game runs like crap. 

[KacperS]

Even if it runs badly they will probably optimise it after with a patch and if that doesnt happen i can lower the settings but definetly G2A shield is a good idea.

I've successfully bought a few games from G2A. As stated above, use the shield (additional ~$1) when checking out to guarantee a legitimate key.

meh, a lot of the stuff there is illegaly redistributed keys, and some stuff is bought with stolen credit cards

im not a fan of using other people's stolen earnings, so i dont buy form there

Many do not like G2A due to how they get a lot of their keys besides from others selling their steam gifts/keys on the site. G2A will buy thousands of cheap keys from countries where games are a lot cheaper and then resell at a higher price on their site. Definitely not liked by many in the gaming industry.

Thank you for the help

Lot's of them can also be from people using their steam money from steam skins and then re-selling on a "safe" platform.

which is also illegal according to steam TOS

As long as you get the shield you should be ok.

 

I don't recommend using them at all though, too sketchy for my taste.

same here, but i always do it unprotected...similar story with cdkeys.com and greenmangaming.com

never had any issues 100% of the keys i bought worked flawlessly so far. Can't recommend enough.

I use kinguin.com but I have used G2A before and as long as you use there protection option you should be good.

As a seller myself the codes I've reselled have been bought here in Sweden during sales, strictly second hand and the cases are still in my room with their receipts. Although I've only sold like sixty games.

 

It's the wholesale bastards that are sketchiest in my opinion. They roam other sites internationally, resell charity games and resell third-hand game codes.

 

Remember that g2a is very much alike ebay, they just list the deals, (and rip us sellers off with a comission of 35 cents + 8% of the sales price)

 

EDIT:

Don't trust the country thingy either. They ban the sales of keys added through a vpn, but they'll still use the vpn to determine where you live, so now I'm apparently living in the Netherlands.

I've never had trouble with them before.
