Are these legitimate?

paradisiac · 17 Jul 2011 at 15:46

they are yes, i started a thread about G2Play a few days ago.

some people love them, others wouldnt use them with steam at all.

For the sake of a few quid, I wouldn't bother.

Especially the amount of hours you get per £ in games like The Witcher 2.

Isn't this the same site where you can buy "retail" CD-keys but then have to pirate the game?

I don't know if there's anything hookey with their Steam keys, but a quick google doesn't seem promising.

They sold fake keys for MW2 a while a go and lots of people got their Steam accounts banned.

They may be okay, but personally I'm not going to risk using them.

Possible savings vs. dodginess ratio = /fail

Don't think i trust buying anything from this website

Robert · 17 Jul 2011 at 16:15

Seems similar to what I've read - will give it a miss.

I wouldn't trust them with my account.

You can get Black Ops from Amazon for less, £19.99 to be precise.

No they didn't. They sold keys from other markets and the publisher (Activision) decided to ban the games using those keys. They didn't touch Steam accounts, just the individual games. See how different your story is compared to the actual story?

Most of their keys are from other markets such as Russian or Asian. It's just that occasionally publishers decide to ban grey market keys. Happened with Blood Bowl too, but it's still pretty rare. Whether you want to risk it is anyone's business. I wouldn't buy anything that isn't vastly cheaper than what retail/proper digital shops offer. That being said, I have about a dozen purchases from G2Play. For example recently I bought Homefront which was silly priced elsewhere and I wanted to play it now rather than later.

A shame it's dodgy, Witcher 2 looks well good!

But you know what they say.. if it seems too good to be true..

As I said in one of the previous threads on g2play - while they themselves operate "in good faith" their product key aquisition methods leave them open to abuse and or situations like region locks which will leave you without a working product - granted they do try to get you up and running even then - and in some cases they aren't authorised to retail some of the products either which can end up with your game being banned.

All in all for the sake of a few quid they just aren't worth using - especially as the people likely to use them are the people who can't afford to be out of pocket in the first place.
