Безопасен ли g2a.com?

The site will occasionally sell illegal, stolen keys and capitalises on the unstable nature of the keys by charging extra fees for "G2A sheild" which provides a warranty and protects payment information. The prices that are displayed are only the lowest price and the actual prices of the keys are chosen by "trustworthiness". Customer service in retrieval of keys was a complete nightmare to manage. Avoid this site, there are plenty of other key sellers and even steam itself if you want access to cheap games.

G2A is a shady place. As you know it's not developers selling their games, it's people reselling game keys. But do you know how the keys are obtained? There are 3 ways I know that keys that you get sold on G2A are acquired. 1) As you might you, credit cards are stolen all the time on the internet but instead of taking directly the money, which would be a bad idea because of protection systems, scammers simply buy a lot of keys from the developer with the stolen credit cards (Ubisoft scandal, for example), and resell them on G2A. The money is revoked from the developer and the scammer flies away with the money. Basically in this case you're whitening dirty money by buying on G2A, and there's a risk that the developer will get angry like Ubisoft and revoke all the keys. 2) Games on Humble Bundle are cheap. You can get like 5 keys for 1$. So some people from third world countries decided that it would be "smart" to make this their job, and buy tons of keys on Humble Bundle for cheap to resell them later for more than 1$. That's just parasiting the whole market. 3) Developers also sometimes do giveaways. The developers of Orion: Prelude for example, a game available for 1$ of Steam, decided that it would be a great idea to give hundreds of thousand of keys. Now you can find them everywhere on G2A for around 1$. Basically, people are just gathering as many keys as they can from the giveway, which defeats its purpose, to then resell them for the greedy price of slightly lower than the original price of the game. So, by supporting G2A, you might actually get keys that work for cheap but you're supporting all the bad stuff on the internet, from people trying to steal your credit card to people taking all the keys from giveaways and selling to you things that they got cheaper on Humble Bundle. You're just creating parasite jobs in third-world countries instead of encouraging people to have an useful job, like making videogames for example. Also you got 50% chances that the key won't work. Is that really what you want? G2A is NOT a grey market. It's a black market. Don't let people sell somebody else's product. Give money to the developers. Don't encourage credit card fraud...
