Where can I buy game keys safely these days?
Buying game keys online used to be very easy. There were just a few well-known stores, and that was it.
Now there are numerous marketplaces and resellers offering keys at completely different prices. Sometimes the discount seems incredible, but then you start to wonder where the key actually came from.
I'm curious how people here decide where to buy. Do you only buy from official stores or do you still use third-party marketplaces?

Well, I’ve been burned twice by gray-market keys that got revoked months later, so now I stick to official stores or trusted bundles. That said, I recently stumbled across a completely different kind of site: https://www.gambody.com/ — it’s not for game keys at all, but for 3D printing game models. Made me realize how careful I’ve become with where I put my money online. For keys specifically, I check IsThereAnyDeal first to see official stores, and only risk a marketplace like Eneba if the seller has thousands of positive ratings and I’m okay losing that $5. The “too good to be true” discounts usually come from stolen credit cards or review fraud, so saving 80% on a new release almost never ends cleanly. These days, I’d rather pay $30 on Green Man Gaming than $12 on some random reseller. Peace of mind is worth the extra few bucks.
