I explain, it is more comfortable for me because I am from Argentina and I do not have a credit card and they give you the option to buy with a cash system and that is more comfortable for me.

Can you buy VISA or other kinds of gift cards in a store that you can use online? Or straight up Steam gift cards?

Also, be wary of who you buy keys from on G2A. What game are you looking for?

Someday, Steam is going to figure out which accounts are being used to funnel keys to G2A, then they'll shut down all codes that those accounts have touched, and thousands of G2A users will be left out in the cold.

 

That day will come long, long before Microsoft even bats an eye at kinguin. 

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

If you have any sort of moral integrity, you'd realise that G2A is a scummy company and are harmful to the gaming industry in general.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

https://greenmangaming.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/215465558-Witcher-3-CD-Projekt-Red-and-Green-Man-Gaming

Quote

STATEMENT - from Paul Sulyok, CEO Green Man Gaming

Green Man Gaming (GMG) has an official contract with, and has been an approved retailer of CD Projekt S.A. (CDPR) products since 11th August 2011. Following a 6 month dialogue with CDPR about the launch of The Witcher 3, we were disappointed that despite the offer of significant cash advances, and other opportunities to officially work together, (we even offered to fly to Poland to discuss in detail how we could and wanted to support this launch), CDPR chose not to engage with a number of significant, reputable, and successful retailers, including ourselves, as they instead focused on supporting their own platform GOG.

We at GMG sincerely believe in getting games to gamers, and offering them a range of buying options to suit their preferences is critically important to this industry; we often go above corporate profits and commercial gain to make this happen. We, like millions of customers, are huge fans of The Witcher series, and have been eager for the launch of this amazing title. We believe that CDPR’s desire to support their own platform by working with retail outlets that would not conflict with their own is greater than that of meeting the demands of their audience, therefore we made the decision to indirectly secure the product and deliver it to our customers. To do this, we reached out to third parties and retailers that were approved by CDPR, to legitimately pass these keys onto our customers. This means that at some point, revenue has been passed directly onto CDPR, and any additional discount on the title is absorbed by us, as we want as many people enjoying The Witcher 3 as possible.

We would heartily welcome a renewed dialogue with CDPR, and are keen to continue to not only support the launch of The Witcher 3, but to keep celebrating and bringing the whole catalogue of CDPR titles to a worldwide audience, as we have done since 2011.

The keys were purchased from other vendors, which isn't uncommon in this business, and were then sold by GMG.

The keys were purchased from other vendors, which isn't uncommon in this business, and were then sold by GMG. 

IIRC a lot of the keys come from third-world countries (Russia, China, India, etc.), where games are sold with incredible discounts to deter rampant piracy and because of significantly lower purchasing power. Firewatch for example is 5$ USD in China, 7$ in Russia. 20$ in the U.S.

 

It's basically a grey market.

 

Steam only started cracking down on this recently. In fact as of a few days ago you can't gift a game from Region A to Region B if there's a big price difference.
