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.

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.

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.

But my main machines (Windows 7, 8.1, 2012 Essentials, Win 10 and UNRAID) I buy the retail versions of the OS so I can upgrade hardware with less hassle. I run more machines than I need, about 12, but 5 OS and a server OS are all retail.

The eBay analogy is pretty interesting, but very accurate. My biggest issue with key resellers is that I don't know what their background is, and I don't know if my purchase actually goes to support the developers. Of course, if I specifically did not want to support the developers, (for example, if they were doing something ethically wrong) then I would be much more likely to buy from a marketplace because it would have a lower likelihood of making the developers a lot of money. Still, I would rather purchase from a more reputable site if I can.

There are three types of Windows keys to my knowledge: OEM, Retail, and Volume. OEM Licensing packaged with the HP, DELL, Lenovo-type devices of the world. In these case, the OEM is contracted to provide customer support, so the license is cheaper. Retail...what you buy directly from an authorized MS sales channel. Lastly, the VOLUME license, which are typically sold in bulk at the enterprise level to companies, governments, NGO's, etc. To find out what type of License you have: 1) Go to the search bar and type in Command Prompt; 2) The Start selection will show the Command Prompt button; to the right part of this window SELECT Run Command Prompt as Administrator; 3) Once in the Command Prompt window (CMD), type within the quotes, as follows: "slmgr /dli" If you are buying a cheap key off of an eBay store, it is most likely a VOLUME key. Therefore, the terms of that License means you must be using the software on behalf of the organization to which it was licensed. If MSFT were to ever audit that organization, the license could be deactivated.

I would absolutely love to see some real investigation into this stuff. It would be very interesting to see some in-depth explanation on how these keys come into existence, and end up on grey market sites. I'm not going to pretend that i'm a saint. Though i haven't really used these grey market sites much for games, as i find that games go on sale through legitimate channels, often enough, and on good enough pricing, that i just buy them through their respective launchers. Windows though, is another matter. That OS is so disgustingly expensive, that i would have to go down several tiers in hardware, each time i built a PC, if i had to pay what Microsoft them selves are asking. And for the state that Windows is in, filled with bloat, driven by anti consumer practices, and so f*cking broken that it's not even funny, i don't think Microsoft has earned that asking price. While i realise that my opinion probably means very little in regards Microsofts feelings, and possibly even rights on this matter, i don't feel bad, for paying what i actually think their crappy OS is worth, which is as little as humanly possible. I wish there was a better option, that was as user friendly (without the bloat and bugs), and as compatible with both hardware and software, but so far as i know, that just doesn't exist (and no, Linux or MacOS, doesn't really meet those wishes either). This is why monopoly is a bad thing.

On contacting Microsoft I was informed that both were pirated. They wanted me to pay hundreds of pounds for new licences. Bear in mind that one was on a Laptop I bought from PC World, the other was a stand alone box also from PC world to upgrade my desktop from XP. Since then I've had no hesitation in gulling Microsoft on every opportunity I have.

What I'll say is that if you're a home user of an OS, productivity software, etc. that you're only buying for personal use to crank out an occasional document or whatever, by all means, go nuts with grey market keys BUT remember that you're still taking a risk that your key(s) could get randomly cancelled at some point in the future. If you're trying to run a legitimate, above-board business then you should only buy software from completely official retail channels: grey market keys are not worth the hassle if something goes pear-shaped (and it's not good for your business' reputation either).

Have used Grey market a bit. Still often have issues with keys being shifty some sites worse than others. G2A is different from what it use to be it is more like Amazon with the clear good vendors then the option to buy from the more shady ones. Even with money back it can be annoying. I have had other games removed from my Accounts due to keys being revoked. Most recently I have had 1 revoke from Cjs-cdkeys and 2 from Kinguin they were sorted out but it does get annoying. The wost case was when I bought the Crew which was a while ago had the key revoked and Battlefield 4 removed from the account due to using a key that was reported as stolen. It was sorted out after a month of complaining about it. Tho there is a difference between a working key and a legit key. Legally alot of those Windows Pro keys shouldn't be sold outside the business that bought them as a bundle.

With games if I can't download from the site where I'm buying from, I don't buy from there. I tend to stick to steam and GOG and wait for sales before I buy. Sure I might find games that are cheaper on key sites, but with a library full of unplayed games already, I don't need to buy anything that may be dodgy. I see CD key sites as buy from me and get it from that guy over there, it's just a dodgy logistics method (you have to download from somewhere), kind of like those Ebay (and elsewhere) sellers that don't actually have stock, but order forward on your behalf and take a cut. I once ordered a camera flash unit from one of these jokers and while they were listed as in the UK, it was dispatched from HK to AUS and when it arrived not working, I had to send it to the US to get a refund with the premium postage charges that entails, never again. Same with CD keys, buy from some Joker in one part of the world, download from a different mob located elsewhere and if something goes wrong, who do you complain to? I don't need the angst. I'm prepared to write off windows keys should they fail (none have yet) when they're just a few bucks, but not when they're $20-$30 from these cd key jokers. But given that cd keys can be habit forming, it'd be really shitty if a large portion of your library turns to shit because some company decides your keys aren't of the same status as a full fee genuine paying customer.

Steam, Humble, Greenman, Fanatical, Ebay, Groupees, Ubistore, Amazon; basically just check all over for cheapest price when i want the game, but usually wait till end of the year since all game beside COD/FinalFantasy series gets cheap, expecially anything by WB; 4.99 for gold editions of like all there games within 2 years?

If there is 1 thing I have learned about buying cheap keys is this. Just because something looks legit and safe etc, doesn't mean it is. I got scammed on a website called Enjify. They take your money and don't offer refunds to anyone. I got a key from their website and they emailed me a random Steam Account username and password to login to play the game I got. I wasn't able to change any account info, it was all made by them. They sold my account with the game on there to someone else ready to bite the worm scam. I wrote a review on Trust pilot but they flagged it and removed my review.

Cd keys is good, sometimes sloppy but worth it, my first purchase was dying light which took 5 days to come to me but because of the unfortunate wait they gave me all dlc as a sorry, and today I made a purchase for rocket league, and it came the second I made the purchase, it’s worth trusting

I buy cd keys from cheapest place after research. Steam enhanced compares some websites but google is better for finding a cheaper deal and if the game is in the steam sale it's still worth comparing. I mean on steam some of the older games are selling much cheaper on consoles but if you shop around for keys then you can find parity in the prices

The game that i play you regulair see posts about ppl who bought keys from sites like G2a that got their account shut down because of the origin of the key. Even the company itself told us many times on reddit and the forum not to buy keys from such websites. They even made a offical retailer list so people can see which store/webshop is legit.

"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...

I used to use kinguin. Cannot remember how started with them - maybe adverts? I wanted a cheap minecraft pocket edition for PC as already bought it for £5 from google play store for android - and my son wanted to play it with me! Then they have their weird insurance system and I saw a few adverts for cdkeys and scdkey. I now tend to use allcdkeys to find the best price and avoid those that look too dodgy! I prefer to buy from humble bundle - love their bundles - and if they or fanatic or another reputable store has a good price then get it from there. Ditto steam sales!
