G2A

Introduzione

G2A is one of the largest marketplaces for game keys, gift cards and other digital items. It was founded in 2010 as Go2Arena by Bartosz Skwarczek and Dawid Rożek in Rzeszów, Poland, and started out as an online game store. It switched to a marketplace model in 2013. The platform is operated by G2A.COM Limited in Hong Kong, with a group head office in Amsterdam and development offices in Poland.

G2A does not sell items itself. Its listings come from verified business sellers, and some developers and publishers sell there too. The site has been criticised by developers, including tinyBuild in 2016 and Gearbox in 2017, over resold keys bought with stolen cards. In 2019 it apologised after an employee offered media outlets undisclosed sponsored articles, and it later settled with Factorio's developer over improperly obtained keys.

Acquistare su G2A

Each purchase is made from the seller you choose, and most keys are delivered instantly to your G2A account after payment. Depending on where you live, your contract is with G2A.COM Limited in Hong Kong or G2A LLC in Nevada. Refunds depend on each seller's own return policy. If a key doesn't work, you contact the seller first through G2A's dispute tools.

G2A Shield, the paid protection add-on that drew criticism, was discontinued years ago. Today G2A offers G2A Plus, an optional subscription that collects points and adds monthly perks. Some buyers have reported that the trial was pre-selected at checkout, so check your basket before paying.
