G2Play?

paradisiac · 15 Jul 2011 at 13:54

has anyone used them, and are they safe?
from the impression i get, they email you a cd key and you have to find the software from the devs site?

Looks to good to be true....

Just had a good look through the site, it SEEMS legit.

I have - bought my Champions Online account from them.

Bought WotLK and Bad Company 2 through them with no issues. They include scans of the keys so its not like they're using keygens or anything. Though that said, there was a large outcry over these game key stores and blood bowl, though I don't remember what exactly the issue was.

I've used them a few times in the past. One time was to buy a 3-workstation Kaspersky license, what they sent turned out to be a single-use license but they were quick to help and sent a correct one.

There's a good offer for The Witcher 2 on there

paradisiac · 15 Jul 2011 at 15:22

i was looking at fear 3 for £13.21 as it says steam playable.
also Dirt 3 is under £10 too

I've bought a few time cards and one or two games that activate on EA downloader. I wouldn't risk a steam key, don't fancy loosing my steam account because of a dodgy key G2Play got in Russia or something, and just buying a retail key means you still have to torrent the actual game.

A little better on CD Keys direct

paradisiac · 15 Jul 2011 at 15:33

so they buy copies of the game, scan the CD Keys and then email you those?

who is to say they wont send it out to other people and get your account blocked?

i want to trust them, as the savings are good, but is it worth the risk?

Teknobry · 15 Jul 2011 at 15:41

They've been trading for ages, I've had no issues using them.

Sleepery · 15 Jul 2011 at 15:44

That's basically it I think. Pick up cheap copies in far flung regions and sell the keys online.

Probably barely on the right side of legit, but like I said, I wouldn't risk my steam account on it. I doubt they're sending the same key to multiple people, they've been around a few years now and they wouldn't have lasted long if they'd been at that.

The cheap prices are because usually they're buying the games in Russia/East Asia for rock-bottom prices and then sending the CD-keys around the world. They're all legitimate keys but Steam don't take too kindly to it.

how would steam know :confused:

Never heard of these guys before. After looking through several of their titles I don't really see the point; they're no cheaper than elsewhere for the vast majority of what I looked at. Am I missing something?

chid76 · 15 Jul 2011 at 16:24

Found this thread which discusses the company.

where are you shopping. i want Dirt3, and for under £10 i thought this was a bargain. although, i also want a new gfx card, which will probs come with it free.

I've used them for years for steam and EA downloader games, only ever had one problem which was resolved with a refund straight away. Ironically, their support is much quicker & better than steam themselves!
