is G2A a legit site? if so how do I use it?
G2A is a trusted platform and I've purchased from it before. When issues arose, they provided alternatives like new keys or refunds, though the process was slow. If a large number of keys are revoked—as with FC4—I still received a refund eventually. Only buy from reputable sellers or select offers, and disable g2aShield if you're in the US. Be mindful of product names/descriptions indicating US or GLOBAL availability, as these often relate to English language support. Multiplayer games might be region-locked for server access, but specific details depend on the game. Most platforms let you pick a server manually.
I use G2A and it's really beneficial. I stay shield on since I'm a bit nervous, but also because the games are still much cheaper with it enabled. I haven't encountered any bad keys yet.
Avoid purchasing from G2A as it is an unethical way to save money. The keys are usually obtained from low-cost regions or through theft. This drives developers to increase prices of digital games in financially struggling countries simply because a wealthy player won’t pay the extra $10 for an official key.
I'm not trying to be an a**, but if they can't pay for a $10 game, I don't think they could afford the necessary equipment to run it.
I purchase all my games from g2a.com, but the new battlefield costs £60... who would pay that much for a game? Even with physical copies, the price never exceeded £30. On g2a it's £36—still costly, though less than EA. If g2a were unreliable, why would big names like PewDiePie back them? He’s essentially the biggest internet personality; he wouldn’t jeopardize his reputation on shady sites.
Mostly purchasing from marketplace sellers. These keys aren't provided by g2a, so if you receive a faulty key from a marketplace, you can reach out to g2a support since you've used their service. If the seller labels themselves as "G2a Selected offer," it means you obtained the key directly from g2a and you're safe. G2a functions somewhat like an eBay for keys, but occasionally sales can go wrong—still, eBay remains legitimate and g2a is trustworthy. Honestly, they shouldn't advertise the shield at all prices; it adds only 80p on top of the regular cost.
Grainger, cex, Gamestop and GAME offer used games that developers rarely profit from. Complaint before complaining about g2a. Curious how many stolen game discs these firms collect?
Thank you for the update. I'm still using Steam and EA for now.
