>browse for product
>buy product
>receive product
like most businesses

it's like ebay but with game keys

>steal credit card
>buy a bunch of game keys
>resell game keys for profit
>cost the developer tons of money when the credit card company forces them to reimburse the actual cardholder

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO T-T-T-THINK ABOUT THE D-DEVELOPER

It's a grey market

you may as well pirate the game

go to gmg for good sales or wait for steam/origin etc have sales if you want cheap games. also humble

Why even bother buying if you're buying from some shady site? Just pirate you retard.

Someone paid for the key, so I'm supporting the developer by making sure it isn't wasted in limbo

The keys on there are sold by small businesses or average joes. As someone else said, it's effectively Ebay but for digital wares and codes. You can even get PS4 games and Windows 10 codes on there.
Fuck off you gutless worm. No one cares that the soi indie faggots you idolize are hemorrhaging money because they overprice their shit games and people would rather buy them elsewhere.

Plus, it works great for online MP-heavy games. Can't pirate those, can you twerp?

>""""""""""""paid""""""""""""

Well, mostly
But fuck the developers, G2A is really scummy garbage that automatically creates a 10 bucks subscription to your paypal account every time you buy something and they make you buy the fucking shield to guarantee that you actually receive the game you buy.

Imagine going to the checkout at Walmart with some tomatoes, paying for them getting home, realizing some ate rotten, coming back and the manager tells you, "sorry, you didn't buy our product shield that guarantees tomatoes aren't rotten, fuck you".

Use nuuvem, instant gaming, hrk and kinguin, those are grey markets as well but they aren't so fucking scummy

Hey I recognize the original picture of this. Idiot played unmodded Skyrim.

what is shady about g2a? you get the game cheap and you don't put money in those stupid devs' pockets, it's win/win.

>automatically creates a 10 bucks subscription to your paypal account every time you buy something and they make you buy the fucking shield
This has literally never happened lol. There's an option before every checkout that you can disable. If you don't pay attention when you are using your money, that's on you retard.

Kingiun also offers the "shield"

>Why yes, I did type big boobs into the Google search bar

>MP-heavy games
Tranny alert

a lot of devs prefer if you pirate their game rather than buying it off g2a so if you buy anything on g2a you should make sure it's a multiplayer game that doesn't have cracked multiplayer

Don't use G2A if you can, because it works by being a hub where any person can buy or sell keys to each other and you may be scammed. Go to legitimate key sites instead like Green Man Gaming or Fanatical because they buy directly from publishers instead of allowing users to sell and there is a 0% chance of getting scammed. Fanatical especially often has great deals.

I had 2 game keys refunded by the person who sold them. G2A only gave me the money back for one

I see the embarrassing dev bootlickers are out in full force

>tries to get best deal for you
>doesnt try to jew you out like shekelstein
that's how, god i love real capitalism and not this faggot beta shit that you only have to buy from the jews

That's on you, though. Don't buy from shady literally-whos with no ratings. It's not G2A's responsibility to make sure you don't do retarded shit. The exact same thing applies to Ebay.

Not a dev bootlicker, just saying that G2A is a shady marketplace

Just fucking pirate it then nigger.

It's basically grey market.

>look for game
>game is cheaper on g2a than anywhere else
>purchase game
>you now own the game and have also cucked the devs out of their money
feels good

why would i? it's easier to own all your products in one place and not have to put up with the annoyances of waiting for updates or newer packages on a more obscure pirated game.

just admit you're seething because you can't stand the idea someone would """"steal"""" money from pozzed indie devs.

>Don't buy from shady literally-whos with no ratings
But it wasnt, the sellers had good rating which is why their keys are on the top of the list

>buy g2a keys all the time for years
>never had a single game revoked
>b-but think about the developers!
No.

>Buy a key for a game at a cheaper market value
>Key gets revoked shortly after using it because it was bought using a stolen credit card for money laundering purposes
>Whatever platform you used the key on suspends your account for credit card fraud

Why yes I do pirate all my games. How could you tell?

Really? I'm gonna buy there no cause fuck the (((developers)))

Unlikely. Also unlikely they "refunded" (what the fuck are you even talking about mongoloid) your purchases. What probably actually happened is your games were revoked from your Steam account, which happens when you get Steam gifts that have been bought with a credit/debit card that's been marked as fishy.

you can avoid getting a game revoked literally any time as long as you don't get the steam gift versions of a game. they can't revoke keys, but they can revoke gifts because gifts are tied to an account which can potentially be flagged as using stolen cards by steam.
this has never happened lol

>government isn’t scouring every inch of it? Shady market
Fucking kys

Why yes, I purchase my games while also stealing it out of the developers' pockets because I am not poor. How did you figure it out?
