    At least for the PC. I've been using G2A.
    They sell game keys and programs and software but way under retail even on new releases.
    They also have this ponzi scheme like referral system that you can earn money with that you either payout or use towards games, so if you know a lot of PC gamers you can end up getting most of your library for free.
    It's an absolute wacky, mad scientist-like concept for a gamer site that I haven't seen before. You can even buy bundles of 10 random Steam keys if youre bored enough to do something like that. Its like a cheap roullette where you could get a AAA game or some crappy games.

  2. i used them once and despite it looking shady, everything worked out fine. i wouldn't use them regularly but if steam was just too ridiculous i would use g2a again.
     
  3. Yeah it is legit even if the website layout looks like it was designed by a tweeked out kid with a hundred different tangent thoughts going on in his head. I use G2A for new games mainly. Got Fallout 4 day one for $43 bucks, legitimate Steam Key. Once games become older though Steam usually does right by the community and the prices even out. I was basically taking a risk when i first tried it to save 17$ lol. So im glad its a legitimate retailer, or getting shafted for 17 bucks woula been embarrassing. G2A is my goto now.
     
  4. I've known people who have had their Steam accounts banned because of a key from G2A. Some have been suspended. Some were completely fine.

    They don't legitimately source every key they provide, so be careful.

    Sent from my LG-LS970 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
     
  5. I've never had a problem with G2A, but I also only buy G2A keys, not from other sellers. Still though I question how they get a lot of those keys
     
  6. With there was a way to do this on consoles lol. Digital games stay full price for a year+.
     
  7. Amazon prime bro. New releases are 20% off pre orders- 2 weeks after release. Bundles n shit too
     


  8. they are very reliable, i was buying the elder scrolls online and they found out it was a key and closed the account, i got live support and got my money back.
     
  9. I've never been banned before. I wouldn't of made a thread if I knew that was a thing. Maybe I've been lucky. The keys vary in price by the sellers and I never buy any of the ones that are wayyy too cheap cuz that always seemed sketchy to me. I think most of my keys came directly from g2a and I haven't had any issues.


    @MFxDeadstroke


    After seeing the GAEMS personal gaming environments on the market, I can now say that every "man I wish this was a thing" in the video game industry that I've had has almost come to fruition. So it's only a matter of time. When it comes to video games now, if enough people want it, it gets done. I love the future.
     
  10. They have console games on g2a , what're you talking bout bro.
    I got a StarWars battle front key for $20 for my ps4 a while ago.
    Best fucking deal ever, they also have the remaster version of the last of us for $25
     
  11. Did not know that! I'll check it out big boss
     
  12. Plus I doubt you'd actually get banned for using a key....
    The website is VERY safe!
    They even have a $1 protection service to get your money back, and it's only a dollar.

    Plus it's like eBay, you can give people reviews and shit so if someone doesn't have 5 stars I wouldn't buy from them.
    Plus if you watch twitch at all, a lot of people are sponsored by G2A

    I thought the website was fake too until I saw a couple of Csgo streams being sponsored by them.
    Now I ONLY shop on g2a

    Cause if here's a steam deal, it'll be even cheaper on g2a
     
  13. They definitely don't have a lot of console games,atleast for the play station, but they're still super cheap and they got some gems.

    Like I said , I got battle front for $20
    Because I refused to pay $50 for it because of what I heard from other people.
    HONESTLY, I wouldn't have minded paying $60 for battlefront, sure it's primarily multiplayer but the game is FUCKING WELLDONE.
    People can say ta half finished all the want, but it isn't even close.

    It's completely well done,
    Like props.
    The graphics on console are the best I've ever seen, the sound quality is jaw dropping, the game modes are FUCKING BAD ASS.
    The split screen is pretty fucking fun too with some buddies.

    It's way fucking worth $60

    Like people night battle field 4 and no one complained about that game like they did with battle front.
    Like bf4 wasn't even close to being finished, and they released another bf game.

    Like I couldn't even complete the campaigns because it would glitch or too much, and the pop in textures and buildings for multiplayer on Xbox and connection issues were horrific.

    I get none of that with battle front.

    Way off topic but I thought I'd bring it up
     
  14. Battlefront is beautiful. Whoever is upset with battlefront because of its lack of single player options is just a dummy. People who played the first battle fronts wished one thing and one thig only. That the massive amount of characters in a given match were actual people. At least I did.
     
  15. Right?? The only thing I want in this battlefront is the game mode from bf2 where you had to attack the other teams base but it was all in space, so you could attack and infiltrate the opponents huge air craft with Ti fighters or go in their base and shoot them all and shit like that

    That shit was bad ass
     
  16. G2A came out with an app today apparently
     
  17. Or they can't afford high speed internet, maybe they live rural where it's unavailable.:unsure:

    Everyone seems to forget about these people. Being in an area like that is a lot more common than people realize. I recently just moved to an area where I could get DSL.

    Besides that when you look at Battlefront 2 and the amount of content they put into it and compare it to Battlefront now, it's pretty disappointing.

    I will admit it was fun for a few games, but after putting about 10 hours into it I feel like I've done everything there is to do and playing the same few maps over again is only entertaining for so long. I'm certainly not paying $50 for maybe another 15 hours or so.
     
  18. You can also use codes from streamers to get ur games cheaper. I personally do not mind paying full price for a brand/company that i enjoy and anything else i am probably not going to buy.
