G2A buying thoughts

I just purschased Diablo 3 via g2a.com, you know the site that usually sells you fresh multiplayer games at reduced prices, now I've learned that their method is buying huge amount of CD keys, this way the can offer reduced prices.

My experience was like this:

1. you gain a token.
2. you enter their live chat.
3. you wait for someone from their support to join the conversation (I've waited about an hour),
4. Then the person from the support guides you throught all the way via screen sharing untill you enter the cd key they provide you in the live chat.

As a summary, I didn't like to wait a whole hour but then again I was at number 100 on queue;

Overall bought the game half priced and I think it's worth it.

As I understood you can also sell your CD keys that you own, this way you profit from a game you no longer play or ever going to play.

Have you ever used g2a? what was your experience? and what do you think of the whole concept?

IMO they give a good fight to Steam and GMG

I bought D3 for the first time two days ago from Blizzard for $20. Seems pretty cheap to me. I don't know about the whole G2A thing. I know I wouldn't go through that process.

EDIT: I guess it was yesterday. Heh.

That's impossible, Blizzard sells it for 40$.

I have heard mainly good things, but I have not seen anything worth purchasing yet. I almost did Titanfall, but the UK release was like 3-4 days after the US release. So, I acted like a brat on that one. I always heard to use Paypal with them because sometimes they have problems processing certain credit cards etc.

I would gladly wait an hour though to save 50%.

Thief is on there now for 13 bucks.

And yet it happened.

Wow nice, I guess it was one timed sale for the RoS release.

It must have been. Because I went back to check, and it's back to $40. I happened to check yesterday on a spur of the moment. :P

Nice, could've saved me about 6-7$ because when I enter to Blizzard site it transforms currency without changing the amount, so I'd pay 20 euros and not $.

I tried buying from them once, and they rejected my card for some reason..

They've done the same thing when I've tried to purchase a gift card but I have currency in $ on my credit card while they've wanted to charge me in euros, so I think that could've been the rejection problem.

I have never experienced that to be a problem. If It was I would be having trouble with Steam, GOG and a few other places I have bought games.

I drew the line when i was instructed to download an unknown exe to confirm my purchase,i have never had to do that before so i told the guy not a chance,i still got the key and it worked fine (for now) but i lost shield protection because of my refusal,grey market cd key websites expecting you to download exe's for "security" is not ok in my eyes, next time i am asked to go through that step again i will just buy elsewhere,it does not happen with every purchase only a few, it's odd.

good site tbh , i bought dragon age inquestion and alot of games , they charge me in dollar instead of euro not like origin even that i don't live Europe .

I can also recommend the site, all my friends switch to it also without any problems so far. F*** those overpriced steam prices for games that are half finished. You also get the key pretty much right away in max 3 mins or so.

Yeah, I'm angry as well about those things, that's probably the main reason I buy from their site.

Used them a lot, about 15 of my steam games are from G2a, never had a bad transaction.

Normally it processes for 5 minutes then links me to steam, when I sign in the game gets gifted to me from a random user ?

Also one of these users messaged me and asked why I added him as a friend, suggesting he didn't know he was gifting the game.

I've also had the live chat method, and sometimes just a key to copy and paste into steam myself, all techniques have worked fine.

The gifting way seemed a little strange

You've probably bought the game from a private person that sold the game very cheap, now he might got the key from a GPU he bought and didn't want the game or already had it.

@PredatorRules: makes sense

I wish i could get find this game for 20 dollars. $40 doesn't seem worth it to me since i'm not a huge diablo fan... but i think i'd probably like it a bit since i haven't played many hack and slash games for a while.

You've missed Blizzard sales, 20$ for the original D3 and 20$ for the expansion
