Does anyone use G2A? I like Steam, but their prices are a bit opportunistic sometimes...and occasionally G2A can have a seller possibly Steam gift me a game I'm after for cheaper than Steam is selling it.

The shady part though which I don't like...

...they self destruct their own service by trying to add "insurance". Buying from them apparently is risky enough that you'd want to put an extra $1 or so on top as insurance.

So what better than to ask you guys? Has anyone used it? Any bad experiences? Dodgy sellers?

I've used it a few times and have never had a problem. Quite a few of my friends use it almost exclusively. But yeah, I always used the insurance just to be safe. The prices are so cheap as it is that it was hard to justify not using it.

Yeah ive used them for like 2-3 games and never had a issue. But have heard stories of stolen keys or bad keys. Usually just pay the extra dollar or whatever for the shield protection. Also check out cdkeys.com
