G2A Legit?

I don't get the point of buying from shitplaces like G2A - if you're gonna get dodgy keys, that quite likely 'fell off a truck', you might as well go on TPB and download a torrent of the game. Then you're sure about the (il)legality of what you're doing and don't have to worry about your keys ending up duplicate/removed..

G2A is grey market. Some keys are legit. Many keys are trying to make money from free promotions, game journalists' keys, stolen keys, and other "fell from a truck" keys.
If you are the anarchist type who doesn't want to pay the publishers for the game, then you have hit the jackpot since none of the keys sold there give a cent to those who made the game.
It is also a lottery of low risks as in the past a large amount of keys "sold" there were revoked.

But if you don't mind dealing with mostly unknown private sellers through an Eastern European flea market for keys… then go right ahead. It's more or less an organised way of trading Steam games with the Russian traders.

the main argument by G2A customers is always the same: "i bought 10 games and didn't have any problems". that isn't any kind of proof. of course most people won't have any problems. else they wouldn't be on the market anymore. but what definitely is true and has made it to the news quite a few times is, that there is always the potential risk of revoked keys. you don't know the source of what you buy. but you certainly know what is not the source - the game publisher. G2A doesn't have contracts with any of them. the keys come from all kinds of sources. often they are scans of retail copies. and sometimes a big publisher decides he doesn't want G2A to profit off of their regional pricing. while i am not a fan of regional pricing and think it should not be prevented in any way to buy from other countries (one reason being that it is legal), the fact stands that buying from G2A or similar companies always includes a certain risk of losing the game later. if you're fine with that risk, then go ahead and buy there.

Peoples sell their games.. Normal store i never had any problem. Sure games may be stolen but who cares if it stay in your library :D idk why so much panic about g2a agin and agin i see posts like this

This is my profile @ HotRandomKeys. The site from G2A.

As you can see, a lot of cheap, bundled games with some great games.
Games with tradingcards were added to my Steamaccount without problem.
Games without tradingscard are traded to games with tradingcards or ended here on SG.com and were received without problem.
It is still a lotto but your chances are low... just like public GA's here.

G2A isn't an outright scam BUT they aren't a legitimate reseller. They are more like an unauthorised reseller. G2A did make more than once the news about bad keys that got revoked. And if you didn't pay extra for their G2A shield while buying from them then you're out of luck. I personally prefer GreenmanGaming, BundleStars, IndieGala(store) and Humble(store). The ten random keys are mostly low grade games and games that were free at some point in time on other sites. You could call those random keys " customers bait ".

I bought H1Z1 from a high reputated seller there, and i'm very happy with the price.
Don't worry as long as you buy from trusted people, always check their successful transactions and their customers feedbacks :)

You most likely will get your game, but the site is shady as fuck. Seriously you have to BUY the buyer protection. If you dont buy it and you dont get your game your fucked.

I Lost one on the games I bought there (it was probably bought with stolen credit card, no refund). Wouldn't buy anything expensive without protection, but this increases the price. Anyway, I prefer normal shops.

I have bought over 20 games from g2a, i have never experienced any problems, i have saved a lot of money and i would thoroughly recommend it - https://www.g2a.com/r/user-55aea5819a7b5

As long as you use their Shield Option (which I would for any higher value keys) you shouldn't have a problem.

Have bought loads off of G2A (its especially good for deleted steam games) and have never had an issue.

As for bundle games while I get the charity issue do not forget this site is flooded with bundled games that I am sure we have all tried to win at some point. In most cases these people are doing this to raise their CV in the hope of winning better games etc etc. I know not the same but still.... worth thinking about.

So far I have bought The Wolf Among Us and Total War Master Collection from g2a and no problems at all. Then they added VAT (because of EU laws) so that site isn't cheap like before. There have been scams, so I'd say g2a it's more like a "hit or miss" shady site.
Better wait a good sale on steam, to be honest.

Mhm there was one time that i bought game and key did not work...so g2a support was very ''nice'' ....support just asked me to fu off ,but not with such words..(and they always disconnect from cheat before i finish to talk with them..so rude ;_;...... because i did not have g2a shield :) so i wrote paypal and they give me my money back ..so i still buy games there..but only for my self ..not for GA ,because you never know if key really works ;)
I last bought dirt 3 complete edition for 2 pounds :)

It's as legit, always using for games

Alright at times. Though at least they havce somewhat of a good refund policy.

Just a reminder about grey market sites.

Reselling keys and links to reseller stores. Do not use our site to resell keys, and do not post offers from stores which allow third parties to resell their keys or gifts. For example, do not ask others if they are interested in buying your leftover keys from a recent bundle purchase, or link to keys for sale on sites such as Kinguin, G2A, or Eneba.
