toxicitizen Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Isn't G2A known to be a pretty shady key reseller? Or am I confusing them with another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've bought several things through them with no problems. I know some developers like to bitch about sites like G2A n co, but hey that's the global market we live in. They can always maybe not put their games on sale in other countries at lower prices.

toxicitizen Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I meant more in the "buyer beware" sense. Like, if EA suddenly decides that your key isn't legitimate and blacklists it, you're gonna be shit outta luck. G2A are very likely going to tell you to go fuck yourself when you ask them for a refund. It's been known to happen.

deanb Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 If the key is illegitimate then maybe Origin shouldn't accept them in the first place. As it is it's loaded up fine n dandy n installed not long ago I presume it's a legal key. Â Of course if you mean if EA decides it suddenly doesn't want to become a global company and retroactively, and more than likely within the EU highly illegally, decide to clear out accounts with games that do not originate from the country where the player is based, then that is where EA needs to figure out why the fuck they're selling keys and different price points globally over the world wide web. Â G2A actually have a thing called "G2A shield", should any of the above happen then yeah they'll refund you. Pretty likely a good little scheme going on since it's so unlikely n yet folks like to rattle up the FUD which means G2A can get a little bit of money(it's 1 Euro) n payers get a little peace of mind.

Â The only time something like that has happened recently AFAIK is with the Ubi keys that they said were stolen and then resold. Â And in that case didn't they end up reactivating them anyway?

As it is it's loaded up fine n dandy n installed not long ago I presume it's a legal key. It's not that the key itself isn't legitimate, it's the way it was acquired that's a little shadier. I mean, even Valve have been cracking down pretty hard on regional price exploitation lately. Pretty much everything on Steam is region locked at this point, from what I understand. I mean, buy from them all you want. I'm not trying to tell you you shouldn't. It just seems a bit risky to me, that's all. Â The only time something like that has happened recently AFAIK is with the Ubi keys that they said were stolen and then resold. Â And in that case didn't they end up reactivating them anyway? The Ubi thing was probably the largest and most public case and I'm guessing Ubi figured they've been getting enough bad press as it is lately lol. Â But I've often heard about people getting screwed over after buying from G2A. It's not like it happens every other week or anything but it's regularly enough that I'll never buy from them.

toxicitizen Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 The day has finally come! Â Â I was initially eyeing the Asus Strix 960, but like a week before I was ready to order I found out about the new 4GB model. That was pretty lucky timing because it would've sucked to find out about it too late. Newegg.ca didn't have the 4GB version for the Asus model, though. But I've been hearing scary things about Asus' customer service anyway, so I was already thinking of going with EVGA instead. I've had really great experiences dealing with them in the past and everyone seems to agree that their customer service is second to none. So, I feel a bit safer going with them. Also, I think I qualify for a free copy of The Witcher 3! Â And with that, my new build is essentially complete! There's still a few things I'd like to add here and there, like an extra stick of RAM, maybe another HDD and some better cooling wouldn't hurt either. But the core parts have all been upgraded now, so that feels pretty good. Now I'm all set for Witcher 3, Arkham Knight and The Phantom Pain! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 How much did it set you back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 350$ after shipping and taxes. PC components are way more expensive in Canada than they are in the US. Overall, this model is almost 100 bucks more. Â I would've saved a little over 60 bucks by going with the 2GB model but I figured the extra VRAM would come in handy sooner rather than later.

toxicitizen Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Â Got it for free from the Nvidia promo. Seems like Newegg.ca arbitrarily decided to not include my card's model in the promotion but I insisted a little bit with their chat support and they ended up giving me a code anyway. It's for GOG rather than Steam, though, which is kind of a bummer. But hey, it's still a free game, can't complain. I considered trying to trade it but that seemed like too much of a hassle to bother, so I ended up just redeeming the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Lol. I had a feeling you would reply to that bit. Â It's not like I have anything against GOG, I just like Steam better. It's where I already have the vast majority of my games and I don't like splitting my library among multiple services unless I have no other choice. Â There's also extra stuff like achievements, cards, etc, but that's all just secondary bullshit. It really just boils down to preferring to have my games on my Steam account. I'll probably end up double-dipping the game at some point for that very reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 You can add non-Steam games to Steam. Â Not to mention this is the company that has straight up given out Steam keys to people who purchased through GoG. Which is a win for everyone.

Â Not to mention this is the company that has straight up given out Steam keys to people who purchased through GoG. Which is a win for everyone. For which one? I know for a while (maybe still?) they allowed you to register your Steam key on GOG for a "backup copy" but this is the first I hear of them doing it the other way around. Â But yeah, I mean, CD Projekt are an awesome company overall. Like I said, nothing against GOG or them. I'm glad GOG exists. It's just not my personal preferred digital distribution service.

Hot Heart Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Sounds like a really cool filler. Might scratch the same itch as Machi Koro except it wouldn't suck since, instead of die rolling, there's a press-your-luck element that is only part of it and it has a pirate theme. A lot of depth for a game solely consisting of 120 cards (the backs double as coins) and was under £10.  Also, that seagull has pooped on that guy's boot and I can't tell if that guy is pissed off or unaware or gently dissatisfied.
