What are your thoughts on steam key sites? have you even bought a key from sites like g2a? are they a scam or are they cool, also do you have a story to share about steam keys.

i was planning on getting a mystery pack from g2a or whatever its called but im not sure if its a scam or not.

There are actual authorized key seller sites out there (Green Man Gaming, Fanatical, GamesPlanet, AllYouPlay, IndieGala, Voidu, etc.), you just need to make sure they’re not selling ill-gotten keys. Basically, if the price seems like it’s too good to be true (as it always will on grey market keyshops like G2A, Kinguin, etc.), that’s because it is too good to be true.

As others have mentioned, use https://isthereanydeal.com/ to find the best prices. They don’t let illegitimate sites into their listings.
