Gamesdeal okay?

Hi guys,

As above. Are they safe, before I start parting from my hard-earned?

Online reviews are mixed... but then they are with CDKeys and touch wood, I've never had a problem with them.

Thanks.

You try so you can tell us

I've used them for a couple of purchases without any issue, I would be more wary of using key sites for new releases but for games that have been out for a while you should be OK.

Not heard of them myself, IMO you have to be more wary about those with prices that list people who are selling it and them listing their prices, like G2A, and/or offer "protection" for your key.

If you do, Pay with Paypal at least.

Thanks guys! Specifically I'm interested in this. And it's delivered via Steam Cloud Activation - by all accounts you have to provide the merchant with your Steam ID/password... no chance.

Where does it say about the steam id etc? That's a blatant no then, never heard of activating by steam cloud.. TBH, you're probably best off going to Gamesplanet, GreenManGaming and checking the sales. You get a key and no middle man.

Have a look here. Are lot of other threads online too, lots on changing your account password afterwords and activating Steam Guard etc.

I think once you've paid you're sent a link and that's from a third-party, they activate the key for you after they've logged in to your Steam account... - that's my understanding of it anyway. Gamesdeal sort of give you a little disclaimer.

Yeah that's a huge no go from me at least.. Sounds way too risky.

Just a thought, but I'm assuming you couldn't buy and 'gift' the game to someone?

When I purchased from them I didn't get the steam cloud version I chose the physical key even though it was more expensive, I'd be very reluctant to give a 3rd party my steam user details. I think CDKeys had some good deals on Hitman 2.
