[incapablegamer]

pretty much what the title says.
this is a site that sells game codes for discount prices.
its 3rd party (like ebay)

so has anyone used this?
is it legit or a scam?

Yes, it is. 100% legit.

Is this 3rd party site?
Yes and no. You can buy their keys (G2A) or keys from other users/sellers.

thank you i will try it out

Make sure you buy from good sellers if you're going to buy from someone! I use this site but I try not to use it a whole lot as some times you can get a bad key.​

 

[incapablegamer]

[KappaMike]

Whilst G2A is legit, it is not problem-free. A lot of people see big YouTubers sponsor them and predict that the website is just as hassle-free and reliable as any shopping site such as Amazon or Steam.

Incorrect. Whilst I continue to use the site because of the cheaper prices, I have had many issues with G2A. Yes, I have always resolved these issues and have eventually got a refund or a working game key but occasionally these problems have taken weeks and on one occasion even a month to resolve.

If you do not need your purchase instantly and you think it is worth the time and effort to email back and forth, provide evidence that you don't own a specific product and wait some time to get what you purchased or a refund for it, then by all means, go ahead and use the site like I do.

Even though I have had bad experiences with G2A, I still use the site as for me, it is worth the possible hassle for a cheaper game key.

I tried buying from it once and I got the key with no problems...

Yes g2a is legit... you can even make extra income by using it...

Some youtubers for instance, but games on sale during a summer sale or something...

wait for the sale to be over, then post the games on g2a for a dollar or two more than you paid...

Then you make a video about that game and put the g2a link in your description

So if people want the game they can buy it from you at a discounted price...

warning... check g2a prices before doing this... the game may already be cheaper than sale prices... it only works with some good sales, and because there are lots of people doing this you have competition and you may not make much money doing it anyway...

Ok so I see a lot of people saying that G2A is legit... let me clear this up from my perspective of a person who has worked within the gaming industry.

G2A is a website that allows individual sellers to sell there keys under the G2A name. They are classed similar to the likes of Amazon and Ebay. The issue with G2A is that the majority of there sellers obtain the keys by purchasing bundles such as a GPU with a free game, once they get the GPU and the game key they sell the game key on a site like G2A and get a refund for the GPU. Thus making the game key become invalid/revoked.

Sometimes it is the case where a seller has sold that same key across multiple similar sites to G2A and that is when a key becomes in use.

The issue with G2A is that if your game key is detected as not your own after redeeming it the game can be revoked from your account.

Yes G2A is good with it's G2A Shield as it usually has no problems there. I always recommend using there G2A Shield as it give's you a key from there most reputable sellers (not saying that means it will work).

In my opinion 80% of the time you will have no issues with G2A but you have to be careful.
