Where to buy games from

Steam when there are sales, Fanatical, Humble and at a push CDKeys (be prepared for a possible key revocation or failure with the last. All the rest are legit).

Whichever is cheapest - Steam/Origin, GoG, GreenMan all tend to be about the same price at the same time.
Have used CDKeys, but a few games that I like a lot I will buy from the Dev's own site to support them.
 
Usually bundles from Humble or Fanatical

for individual games, I'll use Steam if it's on offer, or a key-site if it's not. But I don't use keysites for Indie games - too many of them get screwed over by card fraud.
 
Steam and Origin..

I miss buying CD/DVD versions from the shop though. There was just something about unwrapping the cellophane and shoving it in your PC..
 
Whatever has a good price so usually cdkeys, or greenmangaming. I'll buy from Steam during sales only.

I don't trust g2a or kinguin. Only used g2a once and was sweating while ordering my game.

I remember going in to town to buy Call of Duty on release day in 2003. A bit like a lot of things these who goes in to HMV now to buy a CD on release day?
 
I bought the physical box set of Mass Effect Trilogy from Amazon because at the time it was the cheapest deal - never even touched the DVD's mind you and just used the Origin code it came with to activate the games on my account and then download.
 
CDkeys - not the biggest stock but consistently the cheapest, especially for pre-ordering new games if your in to that.
Fanatical - serious value on their short term star deals and bundles.
Humble Bundle - some good deals and the monthly bundle is usually good value
Green Man Gaming - not usually the cheapest but a decent selection of the newest titles and they do occasionally have deals that better the competition
Gamers247 - nice layout with good filtering options for finding games - lets you view the top selling games per year for example. They often throw in a free indie game with some purchases too. Their customer service isn't great though - I had a guy give me some serious attitude when I questioned where my free game was one time.
GOG - all their games are DRM free - meaning you actually own the game and can download straight to you computer without needing Steam or any other platform to play it. Great for older games but they do also get newer games. Their sales are decent and occasionally give away free games too.
