Some guy on my gamer facebook profile (like 1k random friends) has been posting these links from g2a on my feed.
How is this even possible for games that aren't even out yet?

Almost 30 bucks off Rise of the Tome Raider which is 59.99 on steam - http://store.steampowered.com/app/391220

Then they have the new xcom 2 preorder which is also 59.99 on steam - http://store.steampowered.com/app/268500
for like 22 dollars less

A game that actually IS out, not preorder, Dragon's Dogma on steam for 29.99 - http://store.steampowered.com/app/367500/
Is only like 5 dollars less

So my question is.. Is this legitimate? Like would they actually deliver a working key when the game is released?
Annnd has anybody played Dragon's Dogma? I wanted it like 3 years ago when it was console only, not sure now.

Edit: Apparently those links were reflinks (not mine >.>) so they're gone.. uh.. search for the game yourself on g2a to see?

Mostly legitimate. Well, they get it from other vendors and/or directly from the publishers (in case of streamers and other admins of pages with a big fanbase. some of the Tomb Raider codes in g2a come from the Nvidia promotion too.

I've never had an issue with g2a, and I have over 1000Euro of transactions there. Just be smart, think of it like an ebay.

So they bought like.. a bunch of graphics cards for the free game and then returned them all keeping the game? :X

Nope.... they sell just one code, which came free with their graphics card

More like, they got it for free, and they want to sell it, so what is prohibiting them from putting it for as low as 1$? It's their choice, and remember that price is set by competition.

The more promotions, developers giving away keys, contests and so, the lower the price.

No code with it though so I don't think so. It doesn't link to anyone with out some sort of id

Not sure how those work but you can be reported if you post any referral links, so better safe than sorry I guess.

you can use any text as ref link there, so that's a ref link.

Yes, they are linked to an account. It is a custom-made URL.

Does the shield matter at all?
The only time I've ever bought from a site like this was kinguin and 4 months later steam removed it from my account..

Shield only helps to verify that you've received the key; whether the key was sold through legitimate means or not is another matter, and that's what decides whether the game gets removed from your inventory or not.

I've used G2a once. I only use it if it's so cheap (as in -95% of something I really want and will never even get close to that price), that the price is worth the risk of losing the purchase. And I will never use shield, it's a scam you pay for every month, just read the Terms and Conditions of it.

Dragon's Dogma is still a pretty good game, personally I think it's similar to Dark Souls-esque games with more of an open world feel to it.

I think I'll get it, probably wait for a real steam sale though.

I don't know about g2a but gmg sent me an email %20 offer on Dragon's Dogma. Again I don't know if they deliver keys instantly though.
