Hey guys, I searched "euro symbol" to copy paste and the pound symbol came up first. I didn't know the difference. My bad!

Also the Bethesda deal was going on when Bryan was in Vietnam. It seems to be sold out now, but call your local store just in case.

it bothers me when Companies try to sell there games online for the same price as a physical copy

I first started using CDkey selling sites because the prices were so much cheaper than buying the games themselves. But over time I've noticed that the "cheap" prices aren't so cheap anymore. The gap in price between buying the full game vs. just the key has narrowed. I guess that's because it has become more popular and more acceptable to buy game keys.

watching this vid on my $9 ebay win 10 pro key :D

G2A and Kinguin have done right by me so far. Good prices and the keys have always worked.

I always buy my games from cdkey sites if the game in question is filled with micro transactions and other monetization scams. Otherwise i will consider paying full price.

Thanks for actually addressing these keys in their current state to people. Many other youtube channels are too bitch made to even address something that's a major part of the industry.

Games are being released broken with devs not doing much to fix their games imho. I will continue to buy them.

I’ve bought hundreds of games (including Windows keys) on CDKeys and Software Geeks and never had a single problem.

Always cracks me up people sticking up for multi billion dollar companies like Microsoft because of cheap windows keys.

I understand if it was a game studio that needed the money but Microsoft ?? Lol

I can understand devs selling keys on these sites. Before recently steam took 30% of sales. Say it's a $60 game, they get $18 from it. Devs can sell those keys for say $10 cheaper and pocket that extra 8 bucks. At least that's how I see it, could be completely wrong.

I've used Kinguin for about 2 years and have purchased over 20 titles of them. All keys activated, and to my knowledge, no key's have been revoked so far. I always check the sellers rating and how much they sold before buying anything .

[hickey]

I use Green Man Gaming and CDkeys. Between those, humble bundle, and Steam sales I never pay full price for games anymore, even on launch.

[truthbetold]

I usually buy keys from Kinguin.net and I've never had a problem with that site.

[ashdoglsu]

If you buy from someone who has thousands of sales and 98% positive then youre almost always going to get a legit key.Ive never had any problems and ive bought 40 or so of these keys.I once had red faction removed for some reason but thats only problem ive ever had.

I've used scd and cdkeys for the past two years at least. I've got copies of Office 2016 pro that have been on machines for over a year, still no issues... same with win10 pro. Games have never been anything other than flawless either... You pay, and immediately thereafter you have a key. You enter it and it works. That's all there has ever been to it for me. Time and time again.

Agreed. Do you know the volume of counterfeit goods on Amazon? It is staggering. Especially in the beauty cosmetics lines and there was huge fitbit problem a couple years ago when they were really popular. 100% knockoffs were being sold as true items. And it was really hard to tell the difference.

And Amazon allowed it to happen. Most of the time it was even shipped by Amazon through the partner program. They aren't inspecting all these goods to make sure items aren't counterfeited. Especially on the high end fakes.

So why hold these key reselling marketplaces to a higher standard then Amazon?

Guarantee the big AAA game publishers are behind the smear campaign. It's no different then what books publishers tried to do for hundreds of years to the used book market.

[badgerden]

Wherever you buy keys, just don't buy them from Keen Shop. They are a scam. Total crooks.

[marcalbert]

"Peace out for now... BUY !". Been buying games off CDkeys, HRK games, and Instant Gaming. Never ran into issues. Keys were all delivered in time and you can even get a full refund when you're not happy after pre-ordering a game, unlike some big companies offering 500 atoms as a compensation...

[Wayne-feed]

OMG! I've been paying full msrp for keys (or on special) because I thought cheap keys support criminal activity... Damn it! No more full price for me. Thanks heaps.

Thanks for shedding light on this topic, big ups
