Comic King Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I usually buy my games in retail since in a store near me, they sell games and codes with good discounts. However, believe it or not, this is going to be my first time buying a game from a place that isn't an irl store or Steam. I checked the prices of the games I was looking to buy on CDKeys, G2A and Kinguin. The prices are surprisingly low for some games with CDKeys giving overall smaller prices than the other two. Example: GTA V Steam code on CDK is 23€ (28$) while on G2A and Kinguin the prices are mostly the same with the RGSC copies costing at about 32$ and the steam copy costing at around 39$. Since this is my first time, if some of you could tell me your experiences with these websites (do they scam, trick you etc) I would be grateful :DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 G2A is safe, Only one I've used to buy game codes (A generated number that you enter into steam) but one thing I suggest is buying it with "G2A Shield" The second picture gives you a guideline of what the shield does. I'd rather just show you a picture because it explains it 10x better than I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkcow Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I've only used g2a from the three sites you mentioned and I've liked it since day one. Just be sure that if you do buy from there that you also buy with g2a shield like Maine just mentioned, games are listed on there by actual people and not just the site selling it's own keys. In the event that a key does not work or a steam gift copy gets revoked, having the g2a shield will guarantee that you get your money back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnPrePared_ Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I have yet to encounter a problem with G2A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic King Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Alright! G2A it is! Thanks a lot guys Let's just leave this thread open in case someone else has any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) The only problem I had with g2a was :The seller didn't have any keys left so i had to wait a few days, for staff to message him; to see if he had anymore left: I didn't buy the shield but they still gave me a refund once the seller didn't have any keys left. But i would recommend g2a hands down. Just be ready in case you get that problem. Edited July 19, 2016 by isaac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Niina. Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Once I bought a package at kinguin consisting out of 24 games. I got 23 out of 24 (with csgo missing). G2A is a way better place to buy games safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
