I bought off g2a once, before I knew it was a big evil company dealing in stolen goods and also manages to bankrupt indie devs.

I wonder how many gamers here know what he was doing with his finger at the beginning of the video?
I'm 44yo....I remember doing it that way, myself.
GR00T: This case is likely one of the keys either being in a bundle that the seller got as an individual key and doesn't want, or a freebie they got and don't want. The sellers aren't really making any profit (or nothing of significance).
The issue arises with things like The Witcher 3 shortly after release, where the game keys were bought with stolen credit cards and sold for something like 50% off - a deal that wasn't showing up anywhere else. That's a significant profit for the seller. Good to know, thanks for the reassurance (although I also accept that it may still not be legit). There isn't any game I can imagine being brand new that I would need to have as soon as it comes out. I'm more of a retro gamer, and I'm patient enough to wait for something to go on legit sale (preferably GOG or Humble, Steam only if neither has it).

G2A never will use them, it's a stolen key proxy.
CDKeys is a better option, as it only sells it's own keys direct.
I only get GOG games here on GOG, the only exceptions are crowdfunded games, where I've always chosen GOG as the site I want the key for.
Dreamfall Chapters gave me the GOG key through Humble, others just emailed the code to me.
I don't come to GOG for the best price, I come for the DRM free, offline installers.
The best service costs more to provide, a price I'm willing to pay, to keep my GOG games, without using a useless store client,
Though I want to have the choice, so those who like store clients, can use what I will not.
