  1. imho buying games on G2A can be risky… I’ve had mixed experiences. Have you had any standout experiences? I found reliable accounts on AccsMarket that offered better value without the uncertainty so far and the price is much lower

  2. CD KEYS is probably ur best bet. used it for years and never had a problem. never had to pay full price for xbox live, psn or anything like that. got a pc in august and easily saved over £150 on games

  3. I bought Spotify premium account and it’s doesn’t work, PayPal doesn’t refund, be careful!

  4. You can not ask me to enter my key. You need to make it work. You are breaking the law. This is theft. You are even asking this in the confirmation message, for me to confirm that I am not adding personal data. The key is a personal data. You are stealing. You are passible of jail time.

  5. i typically use key resellers for games that have been delisted from steam and ive never encountered a problem.

  6. I buyed Gta steam account form pinguin, and somehow a "steam friend" refounded the gift" soo idk maybe try G2A 🙏

  7. for a decade or more i’ve been a console gamer.. got a good pc last year that means i still want to own all the games i own on console.. turns out that costs 8-11k on steam or just 2-4k using keys. so like.. very simple maths? why would i spend 8-11k rather than 2-4k?

  8. Only bummer is – got a switch game from kinguin/pixelpuffin last night,
    Watched this video this morning lol oops

  9. I think one day in future when consoles are digital now I think we would see when u buy game and it say you have be age 18 or 21 buy this games i believe everything would be state ID 🪪

  10. I bought mortal kombat on ps5 this site is a scam you share games with random strangers so dont buy

  11. G2A has the worst support I submit a ticket after 7 days they respond. then I reply and then respond after 10 more days. even When I have G2A Plus. (Ticket for non working key)

  12. G2A’s sales practices appear to be in violation of Steam’s terms of service, as they are selling Steam accounts rather than CD keys. Despite requesting a refund, G2A’s customer service has been unresponsive and unhelpful, providing only generic responses that do not address my concerns. Furthermore, the Steam account and associated email provided by G2A are non-functional. Additionally, G2A has placed a hold on my game purchase that they refuse to remove. I have filed a claim with PayPal, but they have sided with G2A without allowing me to respond. As a result, I am now pursuing a refund through AMEX, although I am not optimistic about the outcome. To avoid similar issues, I recommend purchasing games directly through Steam to ensure a legitimate and satisfactory transaction.

  13. I know this video is old now, but where sites like G2A shine and what makes them important is getting delisted games.

  14. What does it mean when you buy a Xbox live account for games, like instead of Xbox live key it says Xbox live account

  15. i mean so what if it is grey marketed or what have you ive bought over 80 games on g2a and havent had not one problem yet, yes its a ”risk” and maybe your keys can get ”revoked” but i havent had one game taken away or anything like that id rather buy it way cheaper on different sites liek g2a than pirate it cuz pirated games dont run correctly and runs u the risk of problems.

  16. I bought Tom Clancy’s ghost recon only got Email and password

    But I still haven’t received a code from a seller to login 😕

  17. I am not from USA so I am wondering are 60 dollars much for average American? As I know average pay in USA around 50k in year. So 60 dollars even after taxes are nothing. Am I wrong?

  18. To be Honest, couple of hours ago I bought sniper elite 5 from g2a and I got the product code but it wouldn’t work no matter how I tried, so I demanded a refund from g2a and they asked for a screenshot of the error and the region settings and they’re still verifying these things ! 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m so pissed off right now !!’ 😡🤬

  19. G2A is like a Wild Wild West.
    Good sellers and scammers are every where and G2A support is sleeping like a baby.
    The ratings are fake.
    In case of scam, say bye bye to your money 🎉

  20. Don’t care about the “ethics” .. I’m poor > I want to play new games > I go to best retailer

  21. Did they go in and update this video? The time stamp says it’s from 4 years ago but screenshots in the video show Balder’s Gate 3 and Cyberpunk which were not out4 years ago. Hmmmm

  22. Everybody im a real person not a scammer look i know that 2 plus 2 is 4 i bought an game on G2A and it scammed my ass you buy an account on steam now listen is illegal to buy accounts on steam and you will get banned if you try to buy smt steam will send you an warning trust me bros

  23. Thanks! Some steam cd keys bought from stolen credit card and it will be soon refund by steam and we will lost our money.

  24. im more confused on why you should buy an account that contains the game
    feels really sketchy loll

  25. Couldn’t care less if it’s unethical, if it benefits me especially regarding price, I’ll take it anyday
