G2A vs Kinguin 11-12-2017, 06:03 PM
#1
Title says all, which one is better?
G2A is kinda cheaper, but there are lots of people saying that it's scam. Personally i've been using it for months and never got scammed (without their guard/security or whatever).
Never bought anything from Kinguin, but i'd like to see your thoughts.

Personally I don't like these kind's of services at all. I havn't even heard of Kinguin and I don't like it. Although I'm sure it doesn't scam the average person, it scams the creators of the game you're purchasing. The maker(s) of the game quite literally get nothing from this. I've even heard devs saying they'd rather someone pirate there games than buy them from G2A or any other service. So yeah, I never have and never will use these services these websites provide. Other people my think differently than me, but that's just my opinion.

Have used both and to be honest kinguin is a lot better.
The price difference is only cents higher but if you consider the shield is a lot cheaper.
On g2a it's always on the same price as kinguin depends on thethe oriceand of the item

Used G2A, but never heard of Kinguin. Only similar service I've used would be Green Man Gaming.

I've bought on G2A.COM and no the keys aren't illegally obtained (not all at least). However there are some things wrong with G2A.com
1) Some of their things are just scams. For example: their "10 random keys" almost always contain FREE games only. The games aren't really free but either free because of a giveaway or an insane discount. So you're pretty much paying for games that were free once.
2) The G2A Shield was first just a single €/$ while now it's triple times as much while not a lot has changed in the shield itself.
3) G2A suffers from severe PayPal cashbacks, though it's becoming better now.

I used both and several other key services. Kinguin is just a bit more secure than G2A in terms of chargebacks. As Bish0pQ said, it's getting better now that G2A is starting to reply to paypal chargebacks but some can still get away with it. Also with the 10 random keys one, there are also Premium keys being sold there. With a chance to win Nier automata, PUBG, etc while piled with a bunch of other crap games. Never heard of anyone winning the actual decent games though.
