Your key might get revoked, but they will give you another one (I never buy from users - with the exception of steamtrades).

yeah it is i mean they are not legit, but it is safe sometimes you could also use the protection which i don't so even if its not valid steam key they will refund u / give u new one, bought over 6 games there

most of the time everything goes fine, but things can happen. so g2a is a risk every time, no matter how small it might be. i personally wouldn't buy there.

most of the cheap games are from bundles, a few non-bundle games are cheap indeed but be careful with who you are buying from because sometimes some users try to sell fake keys, if you buy from users with a lot of sold keys and everysingle of them had a positive feedback than you should be safe
but just to be explicit g2a is safe, not the users that are reselling games

It's a gamble, you can either get legit keys or keys bought with stolen credit cards. (the latter will be revoked for sure).

While i do not condemn those who use it,i still must say i do not support there site even if they do back there keys,as i can support how they do it and how they run the site.

Sometimes you can still get the shaft even if you buy direct from G2A they are not authorize resellers,so if you really want to support your publisher and those who made the game this might not be the place to do so.

It is not illegal or anything but still from a moral stand point i could not give them a thumbs up

Has been safe to everyone in my gaming community. If it scares you, pay the $1 extra for G2A shield, you'll still save more money than any other site usually.

I wouldn't buy from the marketplace. If you buy at all, make sure to use both the shield and PayPal.

Yes, as long as you buy from users with over 100 sales and %100 positive feedback. I also am a seller on that site, it's a great site to sell & buy ^^

G2A, along with Kinguin, is grey market. Many fake, stolen keys, and even the ones that work are acquired in questionable ways, since neither of these sites are acknowledged by any publishers as legitimate resellers: meaning that the publishers surely didn't sell them any keys the stores (not the individual market sellers) claim to be legit.
In other words, buying anything there is like visiting the cellar store of an unlicensed flea market and buying a game there. It may work, but even if it does, you are more likely giving money to a shady Russian businessman (the owner of said sites) rather than the actual creator of the game. So it is more of a question of your morals, purse, and luck.

How the shaddy Russian businessman GET the keys from the time the developer and publisher sell ONLY to trusted sources?
If the shaddy Russian businessman use stolen cards its a scam and like we know scam sites have low life cycle and not years...

Second-hand, journalist keys, stolen, selling bundle keys, or literally buying them at a legit store on sale and reselling them. The latter two are the best ones where the keys are actually working at least. Selling bundle keys is also the most common practise.
Before Steam closed down on it, they also regularly sold keys bought for the Russian Steam (usually -40-60% off from the US prices) and sold them with 10-15% profit. Of course it really showed for games like New Vegas where they sold the Russian-only region locked keys as RoW, and many people complained about it on the Steam forums. (Because the twist is: the non-Western version of that game has a separate Steam ID and store page/community… so the resold Russian keys did not work for the Westerners.)

What I like about G2A, by the way, is the Shield. It is a service that lets you get your money back after a fake key. What I really love about it is that the avid fans of G2A never stopped to ask themselves: why would a game store need a service such as this in the first place, and why is it the only game store in the world that has such a service?
