Who /buys all of their games from G2A/ here?
Moralfags blown the fuck out
>>345110239
might as well just pirate unless you want MP/online features
if its more than £20 and has online / free updates / etc features, then to G2A I go. i don't like paying £40+ for rushed buggy software with no trials.
>>345110502
>might as well just pirate unless you want MP/online features
That's like saying, "you might as well just draw your food, unless you want to eat it."
>>345111041
do you have down's syndrome?
>>345110239
Ive only saved about 5$ buying from there
It seems like even if its a popular game like dark souls 2
Or an unpopular game like lost planet 2
Theres just no sales or deals to get the game cheaper
You're left with buying "insurance" and then the tax of buying the game on the website
If you're not buying a game thats always being put on sale on other websites for 50% off, you're not getting a good deal from this place
>>345110239
It has pretty much the same prices as Steam Sales but with a chance of it being illegal.
I'll use it when I forget to buy stuff during sales.
G2A is horrible. Always the latest with pre-orders and loves to jew you. Kinguin is literally the same but better.
Only if the game can no longer be found in the Steam store (the original pre-Redux Metro games, for example) or if it's 80%+ cheaper.
>>345111041
/v/ was always good at horrible analogies but this takes the crown
>>345110239
I don't fucking understand this. By buying from G2A you're still fucking over the developers, maybe even more since it actually COSTS them money from chargebacks on stolen credit cards. You're already an amoral scumbag, why don't you just fucking pirate it then?
I don't because of the potential for a security breach on my account. I'd prefer to be safe, not like I can't afford it.
>>345112335
>some games were stolen, it must mean all of them are stolen
>>345112335
Wanting to do shit that can't be pirated, like online content or recent Denuvo shit.
>>345112335
>hurr murr stolen credit cards durr
>>345111492
90% of games are half price though, even before launch.
Even if you don't give a shit about fucking over devs, the risk of getting bogus keys is too high to bother with them.
>>345112335
>maybe even more since it actually COSTS them money from chargebacks on stolen credit cards
stop spouting clueless shit, that only happened once because a stupid indie dev tried to have its own store to avoid paying steam a cut, STEAM WILL CANCEL ALL KEYS that got payments chargedbacked and so no carders even attempt it except newbie dickheads that found some dumpz on the internet
furthermore chargebacks cost no money unless you're scammed out of a RETAIL product and not a digital one
>>345112712
>seller ratings
There literally isn't a risk, especially with G2AShield.
>>345112913
>STEAM WILL CANCEL ALL KEYS that got payments chargedbacked
Then why even take the risk just for a small discount then?
I get it for like Denuvo games and shit but I don't see why you would use key resellers for all your purchases when you're already taking the morally wrong route, you may as well pirate most of your shit.
>>345111940
>blaming the Jews for your small penis
>>345113093
I dont understand the question, but if you're trying to imply all keys on G2A are carded, then re-read my post at least 20 times until you comprehend it, ok?
>>345112913
Even then, I don't think they've ever proved it and just got salty.
>>345112983
>G2AShield
Why would you go through so much trouble just to save a few bucks?
>>345112703
Nice. Can you post a picture like you posted, but with games that aren't absolute garbage instead?
>>345113591
It's literally like $1.50/mo.
Every time I see criticism of g2a on forums or youtube videos there's always some G2A PR guy trying to appease people in the comments.
I wonder if he's in this thread right now?
>>345112913
>stop spouting clueless shit, that only happened once because a stupid indie dev tried to have its own store to avoid paying steam a cut
Tons of devs sell keys on their own websites in addition to steam. The Natural Selection devs got taken for several hundred grand thanks to stolen keys being put up on G2A and similar sites.
>>345113194
The question is why would you do what the first fucking post says and buy all your games from G2A? Why? And the OP post specifically mentions the morality of it which begs the question why not just pirate?
Your statement acknowledges at least some of the keys are from stolen credit cards and you're risking your money not supporting the devs at all. If you're willing to accept that, that means you care more about saving money than supporting devs, then why not just fucking pirate?
Maybe you should re-read my whole statement and not just focus on one tangential aspect of it because you can't argue the main point.
>>345113975
1) op is a troll
2) the risk is minimal because as I explained steam (and all vendors for that matter) take measures against carding so it is not viable for a carder to attempt money laundering via these means, and the fact that a stupid indie dev did not take any measures for its own vendor doesn't change the truth
g2a looks more expensive for US region locked keys, which are the only ones overpriced
maybe it's awesome for when you live in a third world country or something
>>345114471
>assmad burger
as usual
>>345110239
Kinguin and G2A
>>345114295
Okay, so what you said doesn't invalidate my statement at all. Buying all your games from a key reseller is stupid from a moral standpoint as you're not supporting the developers while also paying money for something. Key resellers are only for things that can't be pirated. Just wanted to be clear on that.
>>345112051
>frog poster
you have to go back
>>345114731
well yeah you just triggered my autism by implying everything there is carded
I bought Rust off there for like $7 recently was kinda worried because the seller was pretty new and I haven't had much experience with it but everything came through fine!
>check bank activity
>1.50 taken out every month
>Oh what, G2A shield? I thought that was a 1-time thing. Now its a subscription?
>Shit how long has this been active?
>Go to deactivate it
>its literally 20 (seperate) pages of guilt tripping and a confirmation email that takes "approximately" (exactly) 20 minutes to sent to your SPAM folder, that becomes unavailable if you dont deactivate within 10 minutes of it being sent, or you will have to wait the 20 minutes again
That was a fucking process
>>345115334
Stop being a moralfag,anon. G2A is a great place for buying games and they would never rip you off.
/s
>>345115334
g2a shield is both a 1 time thing and a scamy subscription fyi
>>345115334
After they did this plus withholding the Widowmaker Noire skin from my Overwatch pre-order I stopped using them. It's minor gripes but stuff like that makes the experience unpleasant.
>>345115334
>>345115760
also stop giving debit/credit cards off to websites m'lad, grey market or otherwise
>pirate the game
feels good man
Only game I bought was WoW long ago. Before the WC3, CnC Generals, and Civilization 4
>>345115868
I bought dragon's dogma on a 20$ gmg pre-order and demon's souls in a 10$ bargain bin otherwise I'm well happy to state I'm full on pirate
>>345111041
nice try mister autismo but he is right
when you pirate you are less likely to
-lose access to the game
-get stuff stolen (credit card, steam account, everything else on your pc)
either buy the game or steal it, there is no in between
>>345114471
Dunno, I live in a 3rd world shithole and Steam regional pricing combined with sales have made things too cheap and convenient to even bother with resellers.
Also, having to subscribe to a buyer protection service really rubs me the wrong way.
>>345117057
>just turn off steam guard, login and select game from list
>>345115673
What is this /s thing? A new meme?
>>345117057
>>345117187
>"Need Proof? PROOF"
>>345110239
You can sell it too? I have thousands of bundle keys and things like it
>>345117057
u dont have to subscribe to it
>>345110239
why would i buy from someplace where my keys can be revoked without notice
never trust chinks, you get what you pay for in chinatown
if i'm gonna buy a game, it's (a) gonna be from a reputable place and (b) my money's at least going to go partially to the dev. price-wise, i can use istheranydeal if i'm being cheap. or i'll just pirate it if it's not one of the very few multiplayer games i play.
>>345115852
*tips paypal*
>Try to buy game from G2A
>Type in all the bullshit
>Your card is locked
>REEEEEEEEEEEE
I just bought shit on steam why is this happening
>>345117729
or you could just use prepaids :^)
>>345115852
>living in a place with shitty consumer protection laws
i've used credit for fifteen years online and never had an issue once, if i did i could just cancel my card and dispute the charges.
i would never use that shit on a gray market site though, that's just asking for hassle. and it's probably a good idea not to save your card info on sites.
I have never done such a despicable thing!I buy them on kinguin.net
>>345117881
thats what I said basically, I'm not saying buying off steam isn't fine but the kind of guy who gets tricked into g2a shield subscription no doubt saved his info on steam and psn and everywhere else
G2A is "I'm too straight edge to pirate but too cheap to buy games at full price"
You're the absolute bottom barrel
>>345118041
more like ''I want steam to track my playtime and get the full buyer experience but I missed the sale''
>>345117594
Man I'm glad I'm not paranoid. Enjoy overpaying I guess but I've bought literally every game in the last three years or more from CDkey sites.
I guess if you're in the habit of overpaying you need to be able to tell yourself that you're not a chump but I'm afraid you are.
>>345111041
Imagine being so fat you talk about video games but you talk about food instead
>>345110239
What are the most trustworthy key sites?
I want to play Dishonored 2 sometime in the future but it's steam price is outlandish in my country and since it will be using DENUVO I have no options.
>>345118204
never go to china with that attitude, this advice may save your life
also like i said, if there's a game i really want to buy rather than pirate (which only happens when i want to support the dev or multiplayer), i put it on isthereanydeal
>>345118346
Well, I have made over 20 orders from kinguin.net and never had a single problem. Never really tried any other site, because it just worked.
>>345112335
Denuvo.
And why as a consumer should I care that a billion dollar corperation loses my 40 bucks.
Those poor poor people with their season pases and day 1 dlc
>>345118390
My attitude is that G2A and the likes work as advertised. I don't understand why you're trying to make this more than it is.
Again I'm so sorry you overpay but CDkey sites are legit.
>>345114731
>you're not supporting the developers
Baseless claim.
Even if the studio is null, spending money benefits the economy and secures mental quietness.
>>345110239
I usually wait for a Steam sale just to be sure. I use G2A only if I'm too impatient or the game is unavailable/censored where I live.
>>345119082
Buying from g2a or the sorts is like picking up a game used which has been happening for decades. I don't understand what the big deal is about not ''muh supporting the devs'', someone already paid for those keys/games and you're just getting it cheaper than it is currently sold because you're a cheapskate, nothing fucking wrong with that, capitalism bitches
>>345118541
>never had a single problem
thats all you dicksucking keyniggers can say
everytime
meanwhile the internet is full to the brim on these sites with complaints and shady business practices
I UNIRONICALLY HOPE THAT YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY GET CANCER FOR RECOMMING THIS KEYSITE WHEN IT WAS REVELEAD IN THE PAST THAT SUPPORT TRIED TO STEAL STEAM ACCOUNTS AND PERSONAL INFORMATION
>>345119408
i have literally purchased dozens of keys from G2A and to this day have not had a single issue
>>345118346
cdkeys.com, requires txt authentication on fresh account
g2a
kinguin
honestly any site that's listed on key comparison sites
>>345111041
>>345119554
I was talking about kinguin but yeah G2A is basically the same
>>345118606
>Again I'm so sorry you overpay but CDkey sites are legit.
it's hard to overpay when i pirate a lot of stuff
when i spend money, i want a product i can rely on and i want to compensate the people who created it. g2a does neither for me.
if i was worried about price, i would use isthereanydeal or just not buy it at all and pirate it instead. but i only buy maybe one or two games a month. even with my shitty $13/hr job i can afford that without issues.
>>345117594
>>345118390
>>345119761
chinks are truly a scourge
one thing i've seen them do to people on /hbg/ is sell sd cards labeled as like 128gb or 256gb and when you get it it shows up as that amount, but in reality they just spoofed the partition header of an 8gb card so that it reads as 256gb. any data written past the 8gb mark just gets discarded.
>>345119408
Why are you so mad, bro? I was just sharing my experience.
>THIS KEYSITE WHEN IT WAS REVELEAD IN THE PAST THAT SUPPORT TRIED TO STEAL STEAM ACCOUNTS AND PERSONAL INFORMATION
Links?
>>345120103
I have also talked to support on multiple occasions.
>>345120103
There's never any links, bro. But they heard it somewhere so it must be true. Totes.
