I don't recall the situation, but g2a has specifically been cited in
people getting games removed from their accounts, and the like. The
gamesplanet site says they are licensed key distributors, which is good, but
in any case be sure you aren't using a vpn to activate foreign keys (a big
nono), and if a key reseller looks shady it probably is (emailing scanned
photos of keys, e.g.). I do occasionally check www.cdkeyprices.com on a
title to check prices, and have bought a handful of keys from key resellers
in the past, but nowadays I mostly put price alerts on www.cheapshark.com
(which tracks the more established sellers).
