I have had several games removed from my library even though I bought them directly through Steam/GOG with my own debit cards. Is Kinguin a good site to buy keys from? I want to get these games re-added to my library so I can play them.

I'm sorry, but I find that somewhat dubious. If that is the case, you should definitely contact GOG and sort it out, rather than re-buy the games again from some shady key reseller.

I contacted GOG support, they don't exist anymore so I am trying to find out where I can buy the games again so I can play them.

I'm kinda new to this gray market thing.

It's a grey market reseller, so no. I don't care how many idiots follow this with "I've never had any issues!" - they are NOT a legitimate resller.

Do you know of any good sites? I'm looking at the Delisted games website and theres a lot I want to buy and play but the only option is gray market now.
Perhaps, perhaps not. Secretly slip me something sweet under the table and a slip of sweet information might find its way to you.

No idea what you mean. I'm already risking a lot using my debit cards on these key sites.

The only places that sell GOG games legitimately are GOG, a couple of titles occasionally on HB and the occasional HB or Fanatical bundle.

Humble Bundle and fanatical don't have keys to games I want to buy. legit is impossible, gray market is the only way now because of GOG and Steam removing games from sale.

If they wanted to stop piracy then they should have kept the games up for sale instead of removing them.

Don't be so obtuse, Resnov the sad - for this recluse shall make you glad. Just give me your money, and make it quick. In return my honey, a sample on a dipstick. "Only buy legit" the message shall read, "a conned dimwit, all because of your greed."

that is possibly the dumbest answer i have ever read in return to good information responding to a question like yours.

WHY USE A GREY MARKET SITE?

There are NO reasons. Shit, those of us in the games industry would rather you pirate before giving money to those places.
At least then the fucking money launderers dont get paid.

Besides, as I've re-read your intial post, looks like you have issues. If you bought legit from GOG in the first place, the games wouldnt have been removed.
Gonna guess you went grey market then as well. :/
I find it weird that you are justifying grey-market by blaming GOG themselves for not selling de-listed games when...its not up to them. Don't you think a storefront which is dedicated to ONE thing (selling games) wants the most games it can possibly have to sell?

Games are removed from the store because of publishers, not GOG.


And no, Kinguin has a ton of issues:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/18ge3lv/is_kinguin_trustworthy_enough_for_me_to_buy_this/

("My brother did and lost the game license 3 months later")

...the results on reddit are endless for people having issues.



In the end, its your money, your cards, your choice. But I'd just look at GOG sales for other games before risking that.

I have always bought legitimately but now with this delisting of many games it looks like I am going to have to do gray market. I have no idea how to go yo ho ho, so I have to toss my money somewhere. So are there any good key sites where I can buy these delisted games?

SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!

and NO!

Delistings dont remove the game from your account if you bought legitimately - which makes your OP a load of shit.

Correct and cheers!

The reason why your games are disappearing from your library is because you bought grey market keys.

When those keys are bought with stolen credit cards and after a lengthy investigation is done, then those keys are pulled from libraries that had those fraudulent keys.

Once a game is delisted, just write it off and buy it elsewhere or sail the seas if it can't be bought anymore.
