I will also emphasize that G2A themselves - the company - is pretty terrible. If you get a key that does not activate or that is revoked at a later time, you can file a claim with support and will almost certainly get a refund or a replacement. Look at the seller ratings, and the ones that have a high number of sales (in the thousands) and a 99% or 100% positive rating are safe to buy from. A significant minority are people who acquired the keys illegally. "eBay for digital games" is exactly how G2A should be thought of. There's always one sensible person in G2A threads that actually gives accurate information about them rather than blind hysteria. Double check in your account settings just to be sure. Side note for g2a: If you buy a key from there, don't pay for g2a shield/protection and watch out that you're not accidently subscribed to some of their weird subscription services or something similiar like that. Heck, even buying it for console is way cheaper. I could get this one for around 45 USD from g2a for example. We're talking about 70 USD for the new Dragonball game. I didn't have enough money and after Steam has changed to Swiss Francs, everything is exorbitantly overpriced since then. Key got deliverd within seconds, sometimes in 2 - 3 minutes. It's the risk you take for that lower price.įrom my personal experience, I've bought a few keys from them and I've never had problems.

If you're very unlucky and somehow the publishers manage to find out that your key was one of the stolen ones, then your game might actually get removed from your steam account. Some keys there might be obtained in an illegal way or be stolen. However, people in this sub don't like g2a because of their shady practices.

I've always got mine, and if you buy from a reputable seller you'll get your key. If not, they usually even give you a 2nd key if yours doesn't work for some reason since they don't want their reputation to be damaged. If they've got a rating like 98% or more, then you'll get your key very likely. You have to carfeully look at the sellers rating and how many keys they've sold in the past. The closest way I could describe G2A is it's kind of like ebay or the non-official sellers from amazon.
